Physical HISTORY It is said that in the Ibanag and Gaddang Language s, Kalinga comes from the common noun “kalinga” which means “ Enemy ”, “fighter”, or “ Headhunter ”. The inhabitants of Cagayan and Isabela considered the Kalinga as enemies since they conducted headhunting attacks on Ibanag and Gaddang territories. As such, the name is considered a misnomer since it has no geographic or ethnic basis. Yet the term has become the official ethnic name accepted even by the natives themselves. EXTERNAL LINKS |
