I studied History at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños (UPLB) during my undergraduate studies as part of our curriculum. In one of our sessions, one interesting came up: 'TRIBES IN THE HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES'. (to those who would like to study at UPLB click here for qualifications and requirements.)

One of the tribes mentioned was the IGOROTS. Our professor opined that the term "i-gorot" is a generic term for all people who are living in the outskirts of the mountains "gorot" according to him means, mountain. While the term "tagalog" or properly spelled as "taga-ilog".

Is it possible to achieve unity in the country? comments...
