Making of the Ivatans
(The Cultural History of
Batanes)
Batanes is one province that is immensely rich not only
in history but also in culture. The elements of the Ivatan
culture have been passed on to subsequent generations
with awesome fidelity in the past decades. The book provides
us with first extensive look into the shaping of the Ivatan
spirit, with the first comprehensive history of our land
and people. Divided into three main parts, the book talks
about pre-history of Batanes, the foreign influences on
its people and culture, and the present-day Ivatans. Authored
by Dr. Cesar Hidalgo, a prominent Ivatan who is widely
acknowledged expert in linguistics and Ivatan culture.

"If you are an Ivatan, this
book will enrich your sense of pride and cultural identity.
If you are an "ipula" (non-Ivatan), this book
we hope will delight your sensibilities as you appreciate
a people who remained steadfast in their work and family
values amidst the rapidly changing world."-
