Tune in to this fourth episode of #TukoChronicles Season 2 as Prof. EJ Bolata muses about the enigmatic tiwtiw, from its original form as an act of using hunting tools or a spell used for hunting to its present meaning as, 'an anting-anting (amulet) used to attract and enchant animals.' Tiwtiw is used in Marinduque to hunt animals or catch fish. However, as Prof. EJ ponders on, tiwtiw may also be used to enchant and seduce humans as well."

Host/Researcher: Emmanuel Jayson "EJ" Bolata
Informant: Javier Soberano, from Gasan, Marinduque

For the first installment of #TukoChronicles Season 2, we proudly give you "The Laji of Batanes," recorded and described by Assistant Professor Edwin Valientes, faculty member of the UP Department of Anthropology and an Ivatan himself. Listen to different samples of laji sung by two known Ivatan singers, Marta Vaso and Carmen Delatado. Let us immerse ourselves in the Ivatan lifeworld as we listen to stories about love and marriage, death and mourning, social drinking, and self-pity and praises. The recording was done in 2003 during Assistant Professor Valientes' fieldwork in Ivana, Batanes.
