Product Description

Chiva (Xiva) is an Ibaloy term referring to all sorts of storytelling and sharing of narratives such as stories, genealogies, traditions and legends. In many Ibaloy communities, then, people still remember certain xiva pieces. Traditionally, Ibaloy culture values individuals who are very observant, careful listeners (matmatneng), and who have the ability to retell such stories (mariba). This must have been one way of transmitting a culture that has remained basically oral. We thought this is the most appropriate Ibaloy word to call this compendium.
