History

It is said that in the Ibanag and Gaddang languages, 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. The Ibanag (also Ybanag) language is spoken by about 500,000 speakers in Isabela and Cagayan,especially in Tuguegarao, Solana, Cabagan, and Ilagan. ... Your Grandma. ...
