Abstract

This study attempts to shed light on Kalinga society’s practice of Bodong (peace-pact) and its relevance to conflict resolution and the promotion of peace. It presents a cultural heritage in the hope of engendering discussion on missionary approaches among indigenous peoples. Bodong’s relevance to conflict resolution and the promotion of peace is laid out through an extensive study of its nature or characteristic and then verified through the local culture bearers and within their own state of affairs.
