The study comprises a historical background of each song, a song summary, literary analysis and social values with emphasis on societal realities described in each selected songs. The study used content analysis as an instrument through descriptions of social phenomena from the songs used for the study. The songs are closely linked with the social conditions of the Kankanaeys and Bontoks from which these are based. They based their songs on the common themes which are on social judgment, injustice and materialism, love, courtship, marriage, adoration and devotion, family life and parental upbringing, spirituality and pride of place. They use their songs as channels for the portrayal of the social actual realities in Kankanaey and Bontok contemporary society. Although there are a multitude of social values revealed in the selected songs, it was found out that the common social values in the selected songs of Kankanaey and Bontok are concentrated on the concept of og-ogfo (bayanihan/helping one another), concept of Inayan (taboo), close and strong family ties, social acceptance, respect for elders and superiors, high regard for women, hospitality and the concept of industry. These common values are revealed not only from the songs selected in this study but also common among other songs composed today. The study recommends that the study of Cordillera history and Cordillera songs should be included as a specific topic or lesson in the study of literature and humanities in Mountain Province State Polytechnic College (MPSPC). The songs may be used as readings for the development of social awareness and responsibility among students of Mountain Province State Polytechnic College (MPSPC) in awakening in them the needed moral and cultural upliftment of Igorot society. More students output on literary analyses should be undertaken to enrich knowledge about their own literary heritage. Mountain Province State Polytechnic College (MPSPC) and other state colleges and universities should incorporate literary researchers similar to this study in the instructor’s literary module or material in classroom activities and discussions.

Thirty four cooperatives were the respondents and were classified into credit and service, producer, multi-purpose agriculture and multi-purpose non-agriculture. Majority of cooperatives were operating in the city and existed for one to ten years. Majority of the cooperatives were offering credit to their members and in terms of social services majority were offering mortuary services. Delinquent borrowers were the most prevailing problems of the cooperatives. Agricultural cooperative has the highest number of members. In terms of financial and allocation to net surplus, non-agricultural cooperatives have the highest average rate increase. From the results, it was recommended that cooperative should have a strict policy in lending in order to get rid of bankruptcy. Furthermore, it is also recommended that these cooperatives should promptly submit requirements on time and they should conduct frequent seminars that would be useful to educate their members not only the officers itself. In addition, the Cooperative development Authority should strictly monitor the performances of the different cooperatives.

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the arcade materials on indigenous culture of the Igorot particularly that of the I-Sagada. Its aim was primarily to collect indigenous songs, rhymes and chants in the life cycle of the ISagada; that of childhood, adolescence, marriage and death. It is the belief of the researcher, that if we are to appreciate our heritage, it is necessary that we have a distinct identity as a cultural being. The songs, rhymes and chants form part of such an identity. In order to come up with enough indigenous songs, rhymes and chants, the researcher made use of the third year literature class of Saint Mary’s School, school year 1988-1989. They had a vast collection of Igorot songs, rhymes and chants from their grandparents who are still living. The authenticity of the songs, rhymes and chants were verified by the researcher through daily interactions with the people of Sagada, she being a resident of the place. Textual translations into English was done by the researcher in consultation with some of her colleagues at Saint Mary’s School where she teaches. The notations of the songs was done by a local resident of Sagada who herself knows the songs, rhymes and chants and has also undergone formal schooling in music.
