Kalinga Bodong Festival hymn proposed

Updated: May 10, 2024

Tabuk City, Kalinga – How does a hymn echoing in Kalinga during Bodong Festival sound?

 

It sounds like it is happening soon as the provincial local government officials pitched the idea of having one as they prepare for the 2025 Kalinga Day.

 

During the Kapehan at the Provincial Capitol on May 7, the proposal for the composition of the festival song was tackled where Tourism Officer Lorraine Ngao-i asserted there is a need for it to further establish Bodong Festival’s identity.


Ngao-i, as mentioned by the Kalinga Provincial Information Office, described that the hymn should exhibit an upbeat tempo played by a symphony accompanied by Kalinga indigenous musical instruments.

 

Board Member Danzel Langkit, meanwhile, suggested opening a competition for the composition of the hymn to involve more yKalinga talents.

 

The discussion on the matter was wrapped up with the adoption of the proposal which was moved to be funded either through the supplemental budget in 2024 or 2025.

 

The proposal will be discussed further by the Kalinga Culture and Arts Council.
