Igorots though even as part of the Philippines has a completely different experience rather a different history as the Igorots were living free while the Spaniards occupied and ruled the rest Philippines

The task is to realize that the Igorots from the Cordilleras were never infiltrated conquered by the Spaniards and to also understand some of the factors that might have contributed to the inability of the Spaniards to conquer the Igorots

Process

After, students will be divided in 2 groups and each will plan a role-play between the encounters of Spaniards and the Igorots showing all that we have discussed
