“…Peterson (2010) indicates that many Cordilleran Peoples are exoticized and consider themselves less civilized due to maintaining Indigenous rituals. As Howell (2009) noted, many Cordilleran Peoples continue to practice their autochthonous rituals while simultaneously professing the Christian faith. For a Cordilleran to be a Christian requires conscious choice and continuous effort (Del Castillo 2022b; Kibiten 2019).…”

“…As such, around 60% of the Ifugao and other people living in the Mountain Province are Catholics (Kwiatkowski 2003;Zapata 2017). Also, there are Indigenous People from the "upland" (areas in the Mountain Province that are above 2100 m) who identify with Protestant Christianity (Howell 2009). Hence, some people living in the Cordillera practice "religious hybridity".…”

Religions are a set of beliefs, attitudes, and practices about transcendence. They are formed by complex social and cultural rituals and customs. Given that religion is also vital to the Indigenous Peoples, this study employed the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) to measure and understand the nuances of the religiosity of the Indigenous youth of Cordillera, also known as Igorots, in the Philippines. The Cordilleran youth’s religiosity is particularly interesting to the researchers because their autochthonous religion is marked by a cosmology that includes hundreds of deities and elaborate rituals accompanying personal and social events. Data collected from 151 university students showed that Cordilleran youth are highly religious, and those living in rural areas are more religious than the younger participants. The Cordilleran youth strongly prefer private practice and scored high in the ideology dimension of CRS. They tend to devote themselves to transcendence in their personal space through individualized activities and rituals. This study also found that the religiosity of the select Cordilleran youth was ambivalent, defined as the coexistence of different ideas or feelings in the mind or a single context. It shows the inter-religiosity of the Indigenous youth as expressed in the engagement of religious practices. This paper discussed these significant results and explored their implications for the Indigenous Peoples and the Cordilleran youth.

This paper aims to introduce and argue the need for laylayan theology. It theologizes a Filipino cultural concept that has been appropriated that privileges and brings to the fore the voices of the people from the margins. In this study, the invaluable contributions of indigenous Christian youths, the basic ecclesial communities, and bai (Filipina Christian leaders) to the Christian faith and mission are articulated. Laylayan theology hopes to promote further reflections and discourse towards prophetic dialogue between Christians from the margins and other members of society.
