    5. 1:50 ikaw yata ang "tard" dyan, alamin muna kasi ang kabuuan ng issue bago kumuda. Sa tingin mo Di sila magaapologize Kung pakana Lang ng Kabila ang gulo? Di kasing babaw ng opinyon mo yang dalawang channel, na hanggang network war Lang ang kayang abutin.

    6. It was the explanation of the historian/UP professor regarding the aquiline/matangos noses of Igorots na nag-improve daw ang race ng Igorot dahil sa intermarriage nila with American and British missionaries. So para bagang sinasabing kaya matangos ang ilong e dahil nahaluan ng Caucasian blood at pangalawa, he is implying na mas superior ang matangos na ilong kesa sa pangong ilong at their race is more superior than our native Filipinos. Very misinformed at napaka-degrading po yun.

    1. Ine-exploit daw yung pagiging ethnic/tribal ni Carrot Man by making him strip down to his traditional garb and dance around to their traditional music along with other "scantily clad" villagers. I saw nothing wrong with it actually

    2. Anon 12:58..Really? I mean marami nang gumawa nun in the past what's wrong with it? It's called culture.

      KMJS, did the right thing. Just say sorry sa mga "na-offend"..

    3. Wrong ka baks 12:58. Ang reklamo eh ang statement ni Prof Naval na yung matangos daw na nose eh result of interbreeding with europeans or "improvement of the race"

    6. Anon 12:58AM sure ka sa sinabi mo? Baka ikaw mag-apologize after. Hindi naman yun ang issue. Pinapababa mo ang tingin ng mga tao sa mga Igorot kung sa tingin mo dahil sa traditional dance and wear nila sila na-offend. Hindi sila mababang tao, they don't get offended over their own traditions, in fact they are proud of their culture! Are you okay? Nabasa mo na ba ang reason?

    1. Mali kasi ang sinabi nung UP Professor na kaya matatangos ang ilong ng mga Igorot kasi nalahian sila ng mga Amerikano at Briton which is totally wrong. Jessica Soho graduated at Up Baguio accordingly so sabi nila sana yung mga propesor dun ang tinanong nila na mas nakakaalam ng history ng mga Igorot.

      Delete
    6. @2:19 Misinformation leads to miseducation. Yan na nga ang consequence. Whilst it may be possible na may intermarriages nga nuon, matangos na po ilong ng mga Igorot bago pa dumating mga Americans/Brits. Genetic studies show that people who live in higher altitudes have the tendency to have aquiline (matangos) noses and may mga pictures of Igorots before the missionaries came to disprove the theory by the UP prof.

  10. Ang dapat mag-apologize ay yung nagsabi na kaya may mga Igorot na maganda ang features (matangos ang ilong, etc...) ay dahil nalahian sila ng mga Kano. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the statement reeks of ignorance.

    2. Yep. "Improvement of race" kasi yung term na ginamit ng resource person. Parang inferior race tuloy sila dati. Yun ang dating ng statement na yun. Technically, wala naman kasing dapat iimprove sa physical appearance ng isang lahi.

    3. @1:52 Wag po mag comment kung di ka naman informed sa tutuong issue. Madami po offended na Cordillans, FYI. Original po yung matangos na ilong ng mga Igorots at hindi po ito dahil nalahian sila ng Kano o Britons. Genetic studies show na mas matangos ilong ng mga nakatira in higher altitudes at may mga pictures po ng early Igorots to prove na mali ang statement ng professor. His statement kase reeks of colonial mentality. At yung phrase na ginamit niya "improvement of race" implies na mas superior ang tingin nya sa Americans/Brits kesa sa Pilipino. Tanggap mo un?

    2. Nope. Nagkataon lang na si Carrot Man mahirap. Maraming mayayaman na Igorots. They are even there in Ateneo and La Salle na nagaaral and some went to Harvard. Personal knowledge ito coz I know them.

      Delete
    3. May mahirap at may mayayaman na Igorot. May ngffarm at meron din naman professionals..doctor, nurse, lawyers, etc. Although true yan na may lack of gov funding sa agricultural sector sa Cordillera kaya disadvantaged din ang mga farmers natin. Kudos at na bring up yan sa show pero di yan generalization sa pamumuhay ng lahat ng Igorot. :)

      Delete
    4. Let's be careful po on making statements generalizing Igorots. For example, if I were to see street children in Manila, I wouldnt say na nakaka-awa ang mga Manilenos? Yes, there are disadvantaged Igorots, but there are also a lot who are well-off.Hindi lahat ng Igorot ay salat sa buhay. May nakitira sa farm, meron sa city, meron abroad, may farmer, may entrepreneur, may doctor, may teacher,may nakapag aral at merong ndi, may PHd.. As an Igorot myself,medyo nakaka offend lng kase its as if people feel na stuck kami sa primitive ways o sa tribo or something.

  22. "During the episode, KMJS host Jessica Soho related the Igorot’s good facial features to American and British missionaries who came to Cordillera and married the locals. The statement was then reinforced by their resource person, Dr. Jimmuel Naval from the University of the Philippines who said Igorot’s intermarriage with the Anglican missionaries have resulted to the “improvement of race”." -cto

    So parang na offend kasi hindi daw improvement of race ang pagka tangos ng ilong ng Igorot dahil matatangos na ang mga ilong nila bago pa man dumating ang mga Kano.

    ReplyDelete
  23. medj miffed din ako nung sinabi ng historian/prof na dahil sa mga puti kaya "na-improve yung race" ng mga igorot. beauty standards are subjective kaya he couldve chosen his words carefully sana

  27. I think dun ito sa part na kaya matatangos ang ilong ng mga kapatid nating Igorot kasi nalahian ng mga banyagang misyonero noon, na ang dating ay "improvement" ng lahi. Yan din ang nabasa ko sa FB page nila e.

    Mabuti at nilinaw ng KMJS, at nag-apology na sila. Minsan di maiiwasan na may pagkukulang o mali sa pag-uulat.

  30. May mga igorot kasing na offend about dun sa sinabing inter-mirriage kaya nag improve ang looks ng mga igorot.

    5. @7:03 Aling native Filipino culture specifically? May Aetas, Ibaloi,Ifugao,Kalinga? Diverse po features nila. At Regardless kung san galing yung tangos ng ilong, ang issue dito ay yung statement na "improvement of race". Racial cleansing daw ba kumbaga? Na mas inferior ang lahing Pinoy kaya inimprove ng mas superior na race ng Caucasians? Mas superior ba ang matangos na ilong sa pangong ilong? Hindi kinakahiya ang pangong ilong..hindi po yun ung issue.

    2. @1:52 yung fact na sinasabi mo was a careless generalization. Madami na pong Igorot na matangos ang ilong prior to the Caucasians arriving. May genetic studies po na ngeexplain kung bakit ganon ang ilong ng highlanders. At regardless kng san galing ung matangos na ilong, ang issue po ay yung statement ng historian na "improvement of race" dw ng mga Igorot dahil sa Caucasians. Kung sa tingin mo,di pa un nkakaoffend,ewan ko n lng. Wala k siguro sense of pride sa culture mo kung ganon nga. Wag mo kami sabihang masyadong sensitive kung di mo naman pala naintindihan ang tutuong issue dito.

      Delete
    3. Yung sinabing "improvement of race" by inbreeding with Caucasians kasi it implies na inferior yung Igorot race. It's not just about yung tangos ng ilong, kung dati pa ba matangos or dahil lang sa nalahian. You have to understand something, that the Igorots are very proud people especially when it comes to their traditions and ethnicity kaya for the professor to imply na inferior race ang Igorots is very offensive to them. Kahit naman siguro sino, kung masabihan nito, mao-offend. May pagka-racist din kasi.

      Delete
  46. I never understand why pointed noses is only related to caucasian roots. Yun kagaya ng facial features ni Jeyrick Sigmaton ay parang descendants ng mga taga Indian subcontinent specially Nepal at Bhutan. Ang nanay ko at mga kapatid niya laging napagkakamalian na mixed Indian o Indian. Laging may kumakausap sa kanila sa Indian dialect. And yes we are Pure Igorot. I've seen my great grandfather photos wala naman halong Western roots he has Indian features actually.

    2. Im Igorot myself,Ibaloi specifically. Its true. Mas may shared features nga tau sa taga Nepal/Bhutan/Mongolia..And may genetics-based study nga diba which shows na matangos ilong ng mga nakitira in higher altitudes to compensate for the lesser amount of oxygen. Hope this enlightens some people.

      Delete
    3. I know Indians, middle east or even south asian can be considered Caucasians. What I mean is White Caucasians. I thought I've type it. If the explanation is about Igorot might have caucasian genes. Then fine, but it was all about inter-marriage of British or Ameriacan. Then it was wrong, yes there is inter-marriage between Igorot and Anglican missionaries. Anglican Priest can marry. But there's no evidence that there's large scale of inter-marriage kaya maraming Igorot ang mestiso? And that happen after the war later than 1950's. Let me remind, that Igorots or Cordillerans together with Aetas and Moros have not been colonized. Naiintindihan kung bakit may misconceptions and confusion between Igorot and Aetas. Both ethic group is living on mountains.

  47. There was something off dun sa statement ng historian, sabi niya "nag-improve" ang lahi. When you say improve, parang anong ibig mong sabihin? Parang pangit ba ang lahi nila at kailangan mahaluan para "maimprove"?? Wrong use of words.

    2. My husband and I were discussing about how some people do not engage in critical thinking anymore. Kung ano na lang ang mabasa at mapanood, e yun na yun. Nakaka offend nga naman sabihin na may improvement sa lahi ng mga ninuno natin dahil nahaluan.

    3. @12:29 true. Tapos a lot of people here are saying na OA dw or too sensitive ang reactions when in fact di naman talaga nila naintidihan (or di nag effort to try to understand) kung ano talaga yung ikina-offend ng mga tao.

Pero sa totoo lang, hindi lahat ng igorot matatangos. Depende yan sa kinabibilangan mo. Madalang ang pango kasi most of them are matangos or sarat. True blooded igorot looks like koreans. Ung pag may lahi kang ifugao tapos igorot, hindi ka mukhang korean. Mukhang ordinary na pinoy. Perk totoo ung mga missionaries are rampant here at highlands before. Pero ano kasing ginawa nila? Naganak eh pari sila? Park koy ba to? Nevertheless, bwisit talaga yang mga nageexplain na yan sa bandang huli. Laging panira.

  53. Marami dito dakdak ng dakdak may masabi lang. Bago niyo sabihing para wala lang yung sinabi ng Prof saming mga igorot kasi hindi kayo part ng kultura.

    It is very offensive knowing na ang igorot ay isa sa mga orihinal na lahing Pilipino. Kaya offensive yun sa aming kultura na sabihng nalahian kami ng ibang lahi kaya maganda ang hitsura. For one magaganda talaga ang lahi ng mga igorot sa kulay pa lang na madalas inakala na ang mag igorot ay maiitim ay isa ng pag kakamali dahil sa climate mestiso talaga ang mga igorot.

    At ilang bang missionaryo ang nakaakyat ng bundok ng Mt. Province para magkalat ng lahi nila. Dahil sa hirap ng pag akyat sa bundok bibihira lang ang nakakaakyat. Research research din pag may time hindi yung may masabi lang.

    1. True. When I was still in the Phils, i would often get remarks like "Hindi ka mukhang Igorot." o may "lahi ka ba?" (referring to my fair skin and lightly chinky eyes) or some fellow Igorots would also get asked "Bat ang puti mo?". I know a lot of Filipinos still have misconceptions on how we look so this statement from the professor doesn't help. It is such a careless generalization. Ngayon baka people might ask, "may American/British blood ka ba kaya ka maputi o kaya matangos ilong mo?".

    2. Nope. Ang mga na offend ay yung mga openminded,educated at mga informed na tao, academic people, mga critical thinkers, mga Pinoy who take pride in their culture (including Igorots).Wag n lng po mg comment kung di mo rin lng alam ang issue.

  61. It was a great interview that also highlighted their plight as a Tribe and the rest of the ethnic groups. So what's the fuss about? Did anybody do any genetic studies to establish a persons ethnicity?

    1. "Improvement of race". That statement by the historian. Do you agree with that statement?

    2. As a Cordilleran, I appreciated the intention of the feature but I disagreed with the statement of the UP prof/historian "improvement of race".. how exactly does intermarriage with Caucasians "improve" the race? When you say improve, it means may mali in the first place. Or mas superior ang lahi nila kaya considered improvement yun.

  62. Napanood ko to nung Sunday, wala akong nakitang masama o "exploitation" na nangnyari dun sa story ni carrot man. Simple lang. Pinakita lang din pinagmulan niya, ung bayan niya.

  64. I am pleasantly amused because we are discussing history, responsible journalism, indigenous people issues, pati geography. Wow, sabi na nga ba malalim tayong nga pinoy, we just need a little push even if it has to be through stories like Carrot Man. By the way, Igorot ako at lahat kami sa pamilya matangos ang ilong.Mapuputi din kami.Both sides ng family ko pati maternal side ng asawa ko kasi half-Igorot siya. Sabi ng nanay ko yung great grandfathers ko mukha daw talaga half foreigner pero hindi kami inabot ng Spanish or Americans.According to history, we were too fierce. Naabot lang ng missionaries ang baryo namin nung dalaga ang nanay ko. So sang parte kami nalahian? Yung kapatid nga ng tatay ko kamuntik kunin model nun kasi kamukha niya si Geena Davis. Iba iba din ang itsura naming nga Igorot. Hindi lahat itim pandak pango na iniisip ng iba. Sa lugar namin, siyempre di lahat gwapo pero ang mga gwapo kamukha ni jeyrick...me crush pa ako nun di ko makalimutan kasi para siyang American Indian- mulatto -parang si jeyrick pero mas matangkad. Kaya for us, this is nothing new.Napapansin na LNG ngayon itsura namin dahil sa internet pero mabuti na rn para ma-educate ang mga tao sa maling stereotype sa Igorots. Kasi hanggang ngayon, marami talaga tao na minamaliit kami. Naramdaman ko ito nung nagwork ako sa Maynila, graduate pa ako sa UP Diliman pero nabully pa rin ako dahil lang sa pinanggalingan ko. Pasensiya na sa mga typo, nagtatype LNG ako sa cellphone inoauto input pa haiz

    1. Thanks for sharing. Ako naman, nung first yr ko sa UPbaguio, a blocmate asked to take a pic of me so he can share with his friends from his hometown. Na-amuse ata with how I looked, knowing na Igorot ako. Di ko alam nun kng ma offend ba ako or ano, haha. Im fair skinned and have chinky eyes and I often get asked kung may Chinese blood ba daw ako (wala po). Actually,madami ring Igorot na chinky-eyed. Okay din mga discussions na ganito para magkaroon awareness mga tao at mawala nga mga stereotypes and misconceptions. Uplifting for us, Igorots, too.

    2. Beyond the natural beauty of Igorots, Cordillerans were the "unconquerables". There was conscious resistance from our people, which is based on different accounts from Spaniards. Di tau nging subservient. Which is something to be proud of,really.

  65. Pangit nga naman sabihin na "improvement", pero naisip nyo ba kung bakit ganun ang nasabi? What is beautiful to us many Filipinos? Hindi ba yung matangos ang ilong mapanga, high cheekbones, fair skin at iba pang katangian na hindi native Pinoy.

    This incident is an example of how we were assimilated by the western culture na mas lalo ngayon dahil mas kalat sa internet at telebisyon ang trend na galing sa kanlurang mga bansa.

    Lastly, speaking of beauty, we all use a baseline or standard of what is beautiful,so saying na improvement yun just reflects how he faired sa standards.

    Tama na pagiging balat sibuyas o mga feeling nationalistic, sa mga tao dito, sino ba mga idol nyo? Pure blooded pinoy ba? Bakit mas sikat ang mga artistang may dugong banyaga?

    1. Naku, baka magalit po mga ancestors naman if we just let it pass hehe. Iportray ba naman sila as "inferior" race. If you know Igorots, we take pride sa culture and history namin. And besides, questionable din yung analysis nung UP prof na yun, talking about a subject that wasnt his expertise. Andami na ngang misconceptions/ethnic bias sa Igorot, dadagdagan pa.. Yung standard of beauty mo na matangos na ilong, existent na yun to some Igorots bago pa dumating mga Americans/Brits. So mali ka in saying na hindi yun characteristics ng native Pinoy.

      Delete
    2. Wouldnt you be offended kung iimply ng isang tao na inferior yung ethnicity mo? And this is coming from an historian/educated person pa. And worse, coming from a fellow Filipino! Tsk.
