Kalinga Dance Troupe
To guarantee that his knowledge in the performing arts is passed on to others, he formed the Kalinga Budong Dance Troupe. He takes the young men and women who come to him under his charge and they learn about the music and dance of their ancestors. While many have expressed a genuine desire to represent and promote Kalinga performing arts, he admits that a handful have other, more personal, motives. Because the troupe occasionally goes on tour, joining it is perceived by some as a chance to see places other than mountains they call home. Who can resist the lure of foreign places, he concedes
Gangsa
Much of his energy is channeled towards different preservation efforts. He has for years urged the members of his community to preserve their artifacts and archaeological sites. While the unwritten laws and epics chronicle their victories as a people, their artifacts afford us a glimpse into their day-to-day existence. One such artifact is the Kalinga gong or the gangsa, the making of which is a disappearing trade. He has endeavored to revive this dying craft. And to hold these and other treasures, he lobbied for two years with the provincial government to grant funds to convert the abandoned Capitol Building into a museum. His persistence was finally rewarded when, with support from the provincial government and other patrons, the Lubuagan branch of the National Museum was established.
Tongali
It is a four-holed nose flute (with one hole in the back) and often played by the Kalinga and other people of Luzon. Tongali is one of the traditional musical instruments that is still actively taught to the next generations. It is believed that the nose flute was used to help rice grow because the rice, being attracted to the soft sound of the flute, would grow to put its ear above the water to hear the sound better.
Bungkaka
A bungkaka, also known as the bamboo buzzer is a percussion instrument (idiophone) made out of bamboo common in numerous indigenous tribes around the Philippines such as the Ifugao, Kalinga, and Ibaloi. The instrument is constructed from a length of buho (bamboo) with a node at the bottom end. The upper half is shaped such that there are two tongues facing each other, while the bottom end acts as a resonator chamber.
The instrument generates a buzzing sound from the slit between the two tongues when the instrument is struck against the lower palm of the hand of the player. Furthermore, the sound can be altered by covering and uncovering a hole found on the bottom half of the instrument with the thumb of the hand which grasps the instrument.
