I introduced about the ifugaos on my first post. They are the people that have different cultures and traditions. They follow some teachings that passed from generation to genertion. Some of their cultures and traditions are not acceptable to others. Anyway, each of us follows certain teachings from our forefathers. In the case of ifugaos, one of their cultures and traditions is the baki. “Baki” is a traditional ritual performed by a munbaki which is mostly male. The munbaki does not accept payment for his performance but if you want to give compensation, its up to him if he accepts.
The purpose of this ritual is to appease the aamod or the ancestral spirits, the gods and deities. They also believe in Maknongan, a supreme supernatural being in the skyworld. They believe that it has the power to bless and protect the people and drive the evil from inflicting diseases and evil curses or wishes from an enemy.
