    FOUR CULTURAL BELIEFS

    FROM SENIOR CITIZENS

    1. One of our beliefs is a belief that have done from generation to
    generation and we need to sustain it and preserve this culture, one is
    the birthday celebration. We, Ilocanos, have to celebrate this birthday
    party because we have that notion wherein once you will not tender
    this kind of celebration to that person probably, he/she is sick and
    this happens as early as one year old baby until she reaches the age
    of eighteen which is the debut. This is one of our beliefs as Ilocanos. “
    2. Another is the belief for those who will get married. We have what
    you called the Dallot ( a wedding ritual) in fact, we preserve this culture
    and tried to present this at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and
    luckily we emerge as national winner and were able to reach as far as
    United States of America particularly in Honolulu, Hawaii just to
    showcase this Dallot, a cultural belief or a Ilocano wedding ritual.

    3. When you are going to a funeral it is prohibited to let in some sour

    foods or any kind of fruits. There is always an atong (a piece of wood

    that is lit in front of the deceased's house and keep burning until

    burial). It is also prohibited to eat horseradish when you have a

    funeral.”
    NAME: Catalina Ulep

    AGE: 67

    ADDRESS: Brgy. 9 San Lucas, San Nicolas Norte Ilocos Norte


    4. When there is a funeral that youre going to visit and show
    some respect or condolence you must not wear any color of shirt
    because the only color that is not prohibited to use in funerals
    are black and white. Green and red shirts are stricly not
    allowed because it is like youre disrespecting the one who died.
