Kalinga Values System as Reflected in Their Proverbs

This study aimed to identify the most common proverbs of the Ikalinga tribe, to determine their meaning, and their social impact to the value system of the Ikalinga. Triangulation was used to gather the necessary data. This study will be used as a springboard for Indigenous Knowledge integration in literature subjects. It is concluded that the maxims have significant impact on the value system of the Kalinga community. It is then recommended that an intensive documentation of the different maxims of every tribe is proposed to be undertaken for its preservation and keeping the culture of the Ikalingas alive.
