BUGID

The ceremony called bugid is held in the Benguet Kankanay towns when

the water for irrigation is not sufficient.

A jar of tapuy and some dried meat are taken to the field for

sacrifice, and the owner of the field prays to the spirits of suicides

asking them not to try to drink from the irrigation ditches.

The purpose of the ceremony corresponds to the tawal ni payu of

the Nabaloi, and to the bakid as celebrated in some of the Lepanto

Kankanay towns.
