4. ABSTRACT
This research answers to the need of further study,
assessment and documentation of the substantial stories about
the past, unrecorded historic events, undiscovered significant
belongings, stuffs, possessions and experiences which are part
of Filipinos local cultural heritages. Specifically, through
cultural mapping this research does the thorough inquiry and
exploration of the undocumented matters of the past which are
very significant in the lives of Filipino people not only living
in this specific Barangay Labo, Ozamiz City, but also to other
nearby communities and the City of Ozamiz as well.
This research uses actual place visitations, observations,
first-hand experiences, and informal interviews, in gathering
the fragments of information needed by the researchers. The data
were unruffled, congregated and documented through note-taking,
picture-taking, voice recording and video footage as well.
The result of this study will be the basis for the propose
awareness campaign in the Barangay. In order to inform the
people and be given emphasis to the new generation about the
treasures being kept for so long in the community which would
recognize their own cultural identity. Thus, people in the
community will then be involved in the preservation and
conservation of the said heritages. Moreover, the information
being gathered, documented and presented could be utilized in
teaching lessons at school which will contribute to the
preservation of the practices of the past, developed the love
for own ways of doing things, promote the sense of identity and
pride among the people living in the specific community and
appreciation of local cultural heritage among the Filipinos
either resident or not.

9. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Cultural mapping is a course of discovering strong points.
The results attained from cultural mapping rely significantly on
the facts, information and proficiency of those doing it, the
control of the process, and the way that cultural mapping is
carried out. It is a step carried out to discovering our strong
points with and end product in mind the so called objective.
These objectives may be smaller or larger; it could develop a
certain community. For on one occasion the community has
discovered their strong points or cultural possessions, which
can be taken advantage of to generate an extensive range of
ideas and results. The worth of taking in a successful cultural
mapping is comparable to constructing a building with or without
a knowledgeable and skilled engineer.
With cultural mapping the community would be able to
identify the specific culture in the specific area. In which
culture could refer to the customs and traditions, language
spoken, sports and even religious practices amidst others. That
the community would be able to understand the way of living they
are into. And even others would understand how people living in
that certain community does the way they do.
It is in this light that the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts take into consideration the giving of
scholarship grants to teachers to study the cultural heritages
of their own community and further goes into deeper sense of
discovering what has been hidden or unknown for years with
regards to natural, built, intangible and movable heritages in
the differing places in the Philippines, even going through the
remote areas where nobody has gone for a study before.
1
10. With the partnership of NCCA to the Department of Education
as well as with the Higher Educational Institution what they
have envisioned could be possibly achieved. And that the
endeavor of being able to pave the way to the preservation of
the practices of their ancestors, develop the love for their own
practice of doing things, make every Filipino citizen to be
proud of its own identity as a resident of a certain community,
and be able to appreciate own local cultural heritages be attain
and accomplish.
Indeed, it is to this purpose that this research is well
thought-out. By means of the project proposal that aims to
introduce to every person of the community to discover the
available natural, built, intangible and movable heritages of
Labo, Ozamiz City and be widely available not only to the
specific people of the community but also to every Filipino
citizen of this country. This research gathers and documents
every cultural heritage of the community and proposes for an
awareness campaign in the Barangay so as to enlighten the hearts
and minds of every person living in the community in order to
give importance to the treasures being kept for so long in the
community which would recognize their own cultural identity.
Thus, people in the community will then be encouraged to get
involved in the preservation and conservation of the said
heritages. In addition to that, the information in which were
gathered and documented in the mapping, and which will be
presented during the awareness campaign would be utilized in
teaching lessons at school which would further contribute to the
protection and conservation of the practices of the earlier
period, build up the love for the natural ways of living their
lives, encourage the sense of distinctiveness, uniqueness and
identity as well as pride among the people living in the

12. HISTORY OF BARANGAY LABO
Labo, the Healthy Barangay; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
By: Charlita L. Abing
Introduction:
An old saying goes, “If you lost your wealth nothing is
lost, but if you lost your health, everything is lost”. We the
people of Labo are very healthy conscious, so we started
educating our children at home, in school and the whole
Barangay. We envisioned that our place will maintain its status
from generation to generation, of the Barangay Labo as the
healthy Barangay.
History:
In the annals of history, the first inhabitants of LABO
were the Subanons. These Tribal Group partly shaped our humble
beginnings that of being a healthy Barangay. They owned big
tracks of land which should have been fortunately handed down to
their children, but because of fear and ignorance, they’re
forced to barter their lands to the new settles with bolos,
carpentry tools, and farm implements. They were forced to move
out into the hinterlands where they have new farms and
established a healthy and happy family. Bloodline tells us that
we inherited our ways tracing back to our forefathers. The
Subanons, the healthy Filipino generation.
How did Labo get its name?
There are several versions of how Labo got its name. Labo
in the olden days was a deep swampy land. Nobody could step into
the place because those who attempted to settle here were
plunged into the deep Labo River and the villagers called it
4
13. “NANGALABO”. People from different places shortly called the
place LABO.
Labo also got its name from the staple food of the Subanons
which were considered the healthy root crops when mixed with
coco milk, gabi, camote, cassava and lotia. They were all
“Labo”, which also common the palatable sweet, soft and tasty. A
graded A food crops. Food was not a problem because our
forefathers were vegetarians. Therefore a healthy and strong
generation was already planted on the seeds of time. We survived
the ordeals and hardships but still remain the healthy Barangay.
Fish abounds in Labo River which is free. Carabao, chicken,
goats and cows are among the animals that were domesticated.
Again another name was attached to our place when group of
settlers coming from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, Labo became a
fidgeting ground, barehanded or with sharp knives and bolos
among the residents and the visiting settles, Labo then became a
no man’s land because many were brutally killed and the culprit
remained at large. Because of LABO-LABO dead victims were thrown
into the big Labo River or in the deep well. That was the tragic
area of Barangay Labo but the people remains healthy, strong and
industrious. It sustains the family’s needs still the Barangay
people cultivated their farms with labo products. Amidst the
family LABO-LABO our people braved.
Thanks to God’s mercy, the romantic episodes of our life as
permanent residents of Labo happen. It gave romantic that many
people find our place as inviting, peaceful and mysteriously
attuned to everybody’s needs seeking for peace, a place of
retreat, free from pollution and away from humdrums, of the
cities busy life. Today, trees, flowers, vegetables, corn and
5
14. rice abound in our place. A healthy surroundings well-kept and
maintained daily, make Labo not only a healthy but also a
Bulawanongs Barangay Award. L-ove A-lways B-egins O-thers, is
the new romantic acronym of LABO. Romantically, our fiesta is
held during Valentine’s Day, February 14, love-oriented people
generally healthy, winsome and lovable.

16. NATURAL HERITAGE
WOODSPRING “SPRING”
Name: Woodspring “Spring”
Other Name: Tubod sa Woodspring
Location: Purok 2, Labo, Ozamiz City
Tubod is evenly distributed in all areas in Labo,
Ozamiz City. One of the famous springs/tubod is
the one situated inside a private land named in
Purok 2, the Woodspring.
Key Map: 9
Physical Feature: The spring/tubod is surrounded by mango
trees, bird’s paradise and ferns. It was
developed as the water source for tilapia
and koi fish culture inside the woodspring.
7
17. Significance: The spring/tubod in woodspring was first
discovered in 1920’s and was first used by the
people situated near the spring/tubod as main
source for drinking, washing, bathing and
cleaning purposes.
Flora:
Mango (Mangga)
Mangifera
The mango is a fleshy stone fruit
belonging to the genus Mangifera,
consisting of numerous tropical
fruiting trees that are cultivated
mostly for edible fruits. The majority
of these species are found in nature
as wild mangoes. They all belong to
the flowering plant family
Anacardiaceae. The mango is native to
South Asia, from where it has been
distributed worldwide to become one of
the most cultivated fruits in the
tropics. The highest concentration of Mangifera genus is
situated in western part of Malesia (Sumatra, Java and
Borneo) and in Burma and India. While other Mangifera
species (e.g. horse mango, M. foetida) are also grown on a
more localized basis, Mangifera indica – the 'common mango'
or 'Indian mango' – is the only mango tree commonly
cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. It
originated in India and Burma. It is the national fruit of
India and the Philippines and the national tree of
Bangladesh. In several cultures, its fruit and leaves are
ritually used as floral decorations at weddings, public
celebrations and religious ceremonies.
Fern (Pako)
A fern is any one or more of a
group of roughly 12,000 species
of plants belonging to the
botanical group known as
Pteridophyta. Unlike mosses,
they are vascular plants. They
have stems and leaves, like
other vascular plants. Ferns
8
18. reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.
Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads. The
fiddleheads expand into what are called fronds, which are
each delicately divided.
By far the largest group of ferns is the leptosporangiate
ferns, but ferns as defined here (also called monilophytes)
include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and
ophioglossoid ferns. The term pteridophyte traditionally
refers to ferns and a few other seedless vascular plants
(see classification section below), although some recent
authors have used the term to refer strictly to the
monilophytes.
Ferns first appear in the fossil record 360 million years
ago in the late Devonian period but many of the current
families and species did not appear until roughly 145
million years ago in the early Cretaceous, after flowering
plants came to dominate many environments.
Ferns are not of major economic importance, but some are
grown or gathered for food, as ornamental plants, for
remediating contaminated soils, and have been the subject
of research for their ability to remove some chemical
pollutants from the air. Some are significant weeds. They
also play a role in mythology, medicine, and art.
Fauna:
Tilapia
(Oreochromisniloticus)
Tilapia (/tɨˈlɑːpiə/ti-LA-pee-ə)
is the common name for nearly a
hundred species of cichlidfish
from the tilapiine cichlidtribe.
Tilapia are mainly freshwater
fish inhabiting shallow streams,
ponds, rivers and lakes and less
commonly found living in
brackish water. Historically,
they have been of major
importance in artisan fishing in Africa and the Levant and
are of increasing importance in aquaculture and aquaponics.
Tilapia typically has laterally compressed, deep bodies.
Like other cichlids, their lower pharyngeal bones are fused
into a single tooth-bearing structure. A complex set of
muscles allows the upper and lower pharyngeal bones to be
9
19. used as a second set of jaws for processing food (cf.
morays), allowing a division of labor between the "true
jaws" (mandibles) and the "pharyngeal jaws". This means
they are efficient feeders that can capture and process a
wide variety of food items. Their mouths are protrusible,
usually bordered with wide and often swollen lips. The jaws
have conical teeth. Typically tilapia have a long dorsal
fin, and a lateral line which often breaks towards the end
of the dorsal fin, and starts again two or three rows of
scales below.
Koi Fish
(Cyprinuscarpio)
Koi (鯉?, English/ˈkɔɪ/,
Japanese: [koꜜi]) or more
specifically nishikigoi (錦鯉?
,
[niɕi̥kiꜜɡo.i], literally
"brocaded carp"), are ornamental
varieties of domesticated common
carp (Cyprinuscarpio) that are
kept for decorative purposes in
outdoor koi ponds or water
gardens.Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration,
patterning, and scalation.The word koi comes from Japanese,
simply meaning "carp." It includes both the dull grey fish
and the brightly colored varieties. What are known as koi
in English are referred to more specifically as nishikigoi
in Japan (literally meaning "brocaded carp"). In Japanese,
koi is a homophone for another word that means "affection"
or "love"; koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship
in Japan.Some of the major colors are white, black, red,
yellow, blue, and cream. The most popular category of koi
is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho
Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties.
Statutory Control: Onwed and managed by Mr.Ernesto T. Matugas
and Mrs. Filomena U. Matugas, Purok-2 Labo,
Ozamiz City
Related Literature: A spring is a point where water flows out of
the ground. A spring may flow the whole year
or only sometimes. This depends on the water
getting into the ground all of the time
(rain) or only once in a while (snow
melting).A spring often sends water down,
along the land. This is how rivers start.
10
20. Some springs produce water that is good for
health reasons. Sometimes towns grow by
these springs because many people who are
ill come there to get better. Such towns are
called spa towns.
A spring may be the result of karst
topography where surface water has
infiltrated the Earth's surface (recharge
area), becoming part of the area
groundwater. The groundwater then travels
through a network of cracks and fissure—
openings ranging from intergranular spaces
to large caves. The water eventually emerges
from below the surface, in the form of a
karst spring.
Oral Tradition: A lot of supernatural stories and
experiences of residents were told and narrated
in relation to the spring/tubod. Care takers of
the woodspring believed of supernatural entity.
One of the care takers had revealed that there
was a lady who came out from the spring. The lady
wore white long gown and has a long hair, the
face couldn’t be seen clearly.
Other people living adjacent to the woodsprings,
sometimes heard sound of a trumpet and music of a
mass. Other people saw parade of people going
outside the spring/tubod while holding a candle.
They also believed that the spring/tubod has
“buyag” that causes diseases and face
deformation.

22. NATURAL HERITAGE
“LABO RIVER”
Name: Labo River
Other Name: Suba sa Labo
Location: Purok 2, Labo, Ozamiz City
Key Map: 7
Physical Feature: Labo River is one of the most famous rivers
in Misamis Occidental. It surrounds the
whole barangay Labo in the city of Ozamiz.
Labo River is sometimes called a stream
because it is small but long range river.
The estimate terrain elevation above sea
level is 11 meters. It can be easily reached
out by the people of Ozamiz for some certain
purposes.
13
23. It is classified as a mature river because
the gradient of the river is less steep than
those of youthful rivers and flows more
slowly. A mature river is fed by many
tributaries and has more discharge than a
youthful river.
The river is surrounded by many floras such
as various trees. They give shade to those
people who love to bath and stay at the
riverside. They produce more oxygen which
could lead to fresh and cool atmosphere.
They cover the total aquatic ecosystem of
the Labo River. It supports the soil to
avoid landslides and flashfloods to some
mountainous areas when river overflows.
Significance: Labo plays an important role within the
community. Labo River has been used as a source
of water, for obtaining food, for bathing, and as
a means of disposing of waste for the people. It
has been a source of food since pre-history. It
can provide a rich source of fish and other
edible aquatic life which are essential to one’s
health. Labo River serves as a natural heritage
which should be taken good care of and preserve
well.
Planting trees along a river bank can provide
environmental benefits such as preventing soil
erosion, providing shelter for wildlife and
decreasing runoff of pollutants into the water.
It is important to select the right varieties for
planting along a waterway to ensure of their
survival and success. The trees are tolerant of
wet soils, are native to the area and will look
nice growing along the banks. Once the trees
become established, they will grow and develop
into a natural planting.
Aside from trees, the water in the Labo River is
also important to all kinds of living things.
Though it is not safe to drink, some aquatic
faunas are found there such as fishes which could
serve as foods for the people. The water flow is
quite slow because Labo River is already
considered as mature river where many tributaries
14
24. are found. Trees, grasses and other vegetations
are visible at the riverside.
Flora:
Taro (Gabi)
One of the floras that can be
found near the Labo River is the
Taro or Gabi. It is a tuberous
plant. It is also called a root
crop which serves as alternative
food for the people living
beside the said river. According
to the people, Gabi’s primary
use is the consumption of its
edible corm and leaves. In its
raw form, the plant is toxic due
to the presence of calcium oxalate, and the presence of
needle-shaped raphides in the plant cells. However, the
toxin can be minimized and the tuber rendered palatable by
cooking, or by steeping in cold water overnight. The corms
of the small round variety are peeled and boiled, sold or
frozen, bagged in its own liquids, or canned. In addition,
the leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals. Thus, it is
also significant to people and animals for survival. This
flora is usually found near rivers because it is an
ornamental aquatic plant. It is usually dominant in this
type of area. In other words, it can survive in both
terrestrial and aquatic environment.
Jamaica Vervain (Kanding-
kanding)
(Stachytarpheta anoides
jamaicensis)
Another flora that is dominant
at the riverside is named as
Jamaica Vervain (Stachytarpheta
anoides jamaicensis). It is a
perennial weed bearing many
small, pale-lilac flowers. The
oblong leaves are opposite where
there are bright blue flowers in
slender spikes and cut into toothed lobes. The plant has no
perfume, and is slightly bitter and astringent in taste.
This flora is a eaten by animals such as carabao and cattle
near the river. It provides them the necessary food to
15
25. survive. Aside from that, it adds additional attraction to
other living things because of its flowers. Since it is
considered as weed, it easily grows in this type of
environment.
Bamboos (Kawayan)
Bamboos are flowering perennial
evergreen plants which are
visibly found beside Labo River.
Bamboos are some of the fastest-
growing plants in the world, due
to a unique rhizome-dependent
system. They rapidly grow in
this type of ecosystem. Bamboos
are very important to the people
because these are being used for
building materials, as a food
source, and as a versatile raw product. People said that
high-quality bamboos which are found in Labo is stronger
than steel, a property that has made it a choice in
building materials and weaponry.
Bamboo (Bagacay)
Another type of bamboo species
is the Bagacay. This species
produces poles having long and
thin internodes which are
spineless. The size is about 1
to 3 cm in diameter. The length
of the poles is from 2 to 4 m.
the poles are very light and
make good fishing rods. These
species are very dominant in the
river bank. People use this
plant for some purposes such as fences.
Nana
(Coreopsis auriculata)
A flora which is one of the
attractions in Labo River is the
flower named Nana (Coreopsis
auriculata). 'Nana' is a
stoloniferous, dwarf cultivar
flower plant. Coreopsis species
are commonly called Tickseeds.
16
26. This species is perennial growing from 10–30 cm (4-12
inches) tall and sometimes to 60+ cm (30 inches). It adds
attraction to some insects and animals. It grows easily in
the riverbank which somewhat the same with weeds.
Wild Sage
Lantana camara
Lantana camara, also known as
wild sage can be seen at the
Labo riverside. L. camara has
established itself as a
notorious weed for other places.
L. camara will often compete
with other more desirable
species, leading to a reduction
in biodiversity. It can also
cause problems if it invades
agricultural areas as a result of its toxicity to livestock
as well as its ability to form dense thickets which if left
unchecked can greatly reduce the productivity of farm land.
L. camara has small tubular shaped flowers which each have
four petals and are arranged in clusters at the end of
stems. Flowers come in many different colors including red,
yellow, white, pink and orange which differ depending on
location, age and maturity.
Star Apple (Caimito)
Chrysophyllum cainito
Trees are also dominant in the
river. One of these trees is the
Caimito tree. The scientific
name is Chrysophyllum cainito.
It is a tropical tree that grows
rapidly and reaches 20 m in
height. It has numerous common
names including cainito,
caimito, star apple, golden leaf
tree, and milk fruit. The leaves
are evergreen, alternate the u where the underside shines
with a golden color when seen from a distance. The tiny
flowers are purplish white and have a sweet fragrant smell.
The tree is also hermaphroditic (self-fertile). It produces
a strong odor.
17
27. Fauna:
Cattle (Baka).
(Colloquially Cows)
Aside from floras, faunas are
also dominant in Labo River
especially the cattle
(colloquially cows) (baka). They
are the most common type of
large domesticated ungulates.
Cattle are raised as livestock
for meat (beef and veal), as
dairy animals for milk and other
dairy products, and as draft
animals (oxen or bullocks) (pulling carts, plows and the
like). Other products include leather and dung for manure
or fuel. These faunas are very important to people living
nearby the Labo River. Thus, the people placed their
animals at the riverside because there are dominant grasses
and other vegetation which allow the cattle to thrive on.
Statutory Control: Local Government Unit following Republic Act
No. 9275 March 22, 2004 and Presidential
Decree No. 1067 December 31, 1976
Related Literature: A river is a natural watercourse, usually
freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a
lake, a sea, or another river. In a few
cases, a river simply flows into the ground
or dries up completely at the end of its
course, and does not reach another body of
water. Small rivers may be called by several
other names, including stream, creek, brook,
rivulet, and rill.
The Siyokoy is the male counterpart of the
Sirena. The lower extremities of a
Philippine merman can either be a fishtail
or scaled legs and webbed feet. They could
also have long, green tentacles. Siyokoys
have gill slits, are colored brown or green,
and have scaly skin, comparable to that of a
fish.
18
28. Oral Tradition: There’s a story long time ago up to the
present that a non human creature living in
the river, and it was called “SIYOKOY”.
Children are not allowed to stay in the
river without older one with them. There are
undocumented cases of death within the
river. People believed that “SIYOKOY” drown
mortals for food. Although “SIYOKOY” is
known to be dwelling in the deepest part of
the ocean, but this aforementioned “SIYOKOY”
is said to have settled in Labo River.

“BENEFIT DANCE (BAYLE BENEPISYO)”
Title: Benefit Dance or “Bayle Benepisyo”
Location: Purok 2, Labo, Ozamiz City
Key Map: 1
Category: Dance
Resources:
Remedios Penaco Jalalon who is born November 27, 1915
Process:
This was an invitational social activity wherein ladies
with their parents or chaperon were invited for a dance in
a certain barrio for sociability to be able to raise funds.
Young officials in the barrio initiated this activity with
the guidance of the elders. The ladies and parents were
well-respected. They were warmly welcomed. Barrio officials
treated, entertained and gave importance to the ladies and
parents by offering foods like bread, rice cakes, suman and
drinks like coffee and “koter (tuba with chocolate).”
Ladies sat on the chairs or benches as the music starts.
They were well-groomed and properly dressed with long
skirts or below the knee kind of skirts. As the music
plays, gentlemen chose among the ladies who they would like
to dance with. The gentlemen were well-groomed too. They
were not allowed to dance if they were not properly dressed
from head to feet. The men polish their hair with pomade.
They were wearing formal attire like Americana vest, black
pants and formal leather shoes. If they didn’t have this
kind of outfit, they borrowed from their friends.
Music is played through a “kumparsa.” This was played using
different kinds of musical instruments like flute, trumpet,
guitar, ukelele, and banduria. The music had no lyrics,
only instrumental. Gentlemen will buy ribbons; they cannot
dance without the ribbons. There were four colors of
ribbons such as red, blue, yellow and white. If a man had
much money, then he can buy the 4 colors of ribbons. So, he
can dance anytime he wants. The host of the activity
announces what color of the ribbon was allowed to dance in
a particular music. Another way of raising more money from
the benefit dance was dancing to a beautiful lady; they
called it “baligya’g bulak” wherein the gentleman will keep
on giving money to the in-charge of the activity and will
say “the same buyer.” Meaning, he keep on paying or buying
33
45. the flower (refers to the lady) and wanted to dance with
the lady he love or like most and don’t want to sell or
hand her to others. Usually, gentlemen who are well off can
afford this. If two or more gentlemen can afford it, then
“first come first serve” policy will be the basis. Others
or the rest of the boys will just watch and wait. After the
dance activity, officials gave them thanks.
Materials:
Music: flute, trumpet, guitar, ukelele, banduria
Costume:
Male: Americana vest, black pants, formal leather shoes
Female: formal dress (long skirts or below the knee kind of
skirts)
Songs: Instrumental
Title: Cannot be traced.
Dance: tango, boogie, chacha, kinonsehal, dancing with a
sweet music
Vocabulary:
Bayle – refers to the word dance is a group of
rhythmic movements and steps set to music or a
social gathering where people participate in
rhythmic movements and steps set to music
Benepisyo – refers to the word benefit which means a
social event or a performance for raising money
for an organization, cause, or person.

Related Literature:
Benefit Dance has started way-way back then. And it was
indeed very amazing, knowing that it happened a long time
ago. People already love to dance with the music. Our
great-great grandparents used to enjoy such entertainment
and of course it never did end until these days, although
it has another name and form. Benefit Dance is somehow
formal when we talk about it, we can really say because
they used to be in formal attire and be formal in dealing
with each other as well as with the activity.
34
46. However, today there still exist benefit dances all over
the Philippines and even in outer countries as well. Just
say for example the “Pima Community College, partnering
with the nonprofit organizations Filipino-American
Sampaguita Club of Tucson, the Philippine Mabuhay Cultural
Foundation Inc., and the Tucson community, is hosting a
benefit cultural dance performance by the award-
winning Leyte Dance Theater, April 27.” The purpose of the
dance is to benefit survivors of typhoon Yolanda, which
ravaged Leyte Island of the Philippines. This only shows
that benefit dance had not come to an end. Yet it had taken
its new form. Somehow, whatever the purpose therein, it is
nice to note that it had happen and is still happening
today for the purpose of benefiting somebody or someone
else.

Koruk is just a local game played by youngsters usually
girls in the past. However it has similarities with the
familiar Jackstones which is a traditional Korean game,
using small stones or Tamarind seeds, with almost the same
process but with different name. Up to this days the same
familiar game is played by our youngster, only now with
different versions and rules. And even materials that are
being used are no longer the stones but a jack stone and a
bouncy small ball.

having a hidden meaning, which needs to be guessed and
solved. Of course it requires careful thinking for every
answer. This riddle is simple, yet may be confusing to
those who are not familiar of how “Bingka” is being
processed or cooked.
There is blog referring to bingka a rice cake,
acknowledging the several versions of cooking it here in
the Philippines. Thus it specifically mentions of cooking a
fire on top and bottom of the rice cake, which further
supports the validity of the riddle.

79. A project Proposal in Cultural Mapping
of Labo, Ozamiz City
“Awareness Campaign on
Cultural Heritages in Labo”
I. Introduction
Cultural mapping is called research skills. This can
also be used to describe the use of “cultural mapping” type
research methods, tools, and techniques to identify,
describe, portray, promote, and plan future use of
particular region’s or cities combined cultural assets and
resources. This process of mapping by itself draws
attention to the existence and importance of cultural
resources. The results point out problems to be solved or
strengths to build on. It is a mapping exercise purposely
for investigation or creation an identity profile of the
community or place.
This mapping is once sampled by the researchers who
are under the scholarship of Graduate Diploma in Cultural
Education in La Salle University – Ozamiz City which is
sponsored by the NCCA. They had conducted it in the Labo,
Ozamiz City and tasked to look for the cultural heritages
like built, natural, movable, and intangible in the place.
The result of Cultural Mapping in Labo, Ozamiz City
revealed that there were actually many cultural heritages
and oral traditions which were not gathered, recorded and
documented. Thus, only few are interested in gathering the
available cultural heritages in their community. Moreover,
if not gathered, recorded and documented, these cultural
heritages will just vanish and not to be known for the next
generations in the community.
Consequently, there must be an immediate or urgent
need for further research, documentation and gathering of
the available cultural heritages in Labo. To inform the
people and the new generations about the treasures being
kept for so long in the community which identify their own
cultural identity. Thus, people in the community will then
be involved in the preservation and conservation of the
said heritages. Moreover, the information being gathered,
documented and presented could be utilized in teaching
lessons at school which will contribute to the preservation
67
80. of the practices of the past, developed the love for own
ways of doing things, promote the sense of identity and
pride among the people living in the specific community and
appreciation of local cultural heritage among the Filipinos
either resident or not.
On the first day of the mapping they talked to Mrs.
Remedios Penaco Jalalon who is known in Labo for having a
vast track of land. They also went to other areas of the
place where very few could give data on the place. On the
barangay office they couldn’t give much information but
only the map, origin of the place and how did it get its
name. The researchers tried their best to get the data
necessary for the mapping through interview. Thus, they
come to a realization to propose an awareness campaign in
the area during foundation day (February 14) as one of the
highlighting activities in the said community. The
researchers believed that through this activity people of
this area will be aware of the facts and artifacts of
yesterdays which can be spread and shared by many. People
will then sensitive and help in the preservation and
conservation of their treasures.
II. Objectives
This study aims to propose an awareness campaign in the
Labo, Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental every February 14 of
the year in celebration of their Foundation Day.
Specifically, this aims to answer the following questions.
1. What are the resources for funding this activity?
2. What specific area will it be shown?

profile of the community?

(5) puroks and has a total population of 2,584 with 1,324
male and 1,279 female people, and with 550households. It is
originally inhabited by subanen. Labo is considered to be
one of the progressive barangays in the City of Ozamiz.
68
81. IV. Significance of the Study
The study will benefit the following:
NCCA. Since the agency promotes cultural appreciation,
through this, we can be of great help in promoting its
goal.
Local Government Unit. It is a fact that not all cities
have the copies of their barangays local literature.
Through this study, the said city will then have its copy
on the local pride of its barangay. And serves as an
avenue for tourism and economic enterprise among the
residents of the barangay.
DepEd. The output serves as the tangible instructional
material in teachings.
Teachers. The local teachers can use this instructional
material in aiding their teachings.
Learners. With the result of this awareness campaign, it
will be easy for the learners to access the information
about their local culture. Through it, they will be
informed that their barangay is rich in cultural
heritages.
V. Methodology
The study will be conducted through interviews and
first-hand experience of the researchers. This study
involved qualitative and quantitative data.
The researchers will get a certification letter from
La Salle University, certifying scholars and conducting a
cultural mapping as part of the course. The letter will be
presented to the barangay.
The researchers will explore the entire barangay in
search for the available cultural heritages through
documentation, interview and recording.
The result of the documentation and exploratory
investigation will be recorded. Documentation of the
historical, economic and social importance of the cultural
heritages will be done through a multi-media presentation
for the awareness campaign.
