Abstract

Sociology through literature of Lewis Coser inspired this study to thematically identify social conditions of Bangsamoro people using the literary works published online. Four volumes were gathered form Bangsamoro Literary Review from 2021 to 2023. The method is qualitative and thematic analysis was used to interpret and dissect the gathered literatures. Graphics or non-text form published in the journal was not included. Two levels were employed in thematic analysis: macro level (Lewis Coser) and micro level (Carter & Carter). It was revealed in the study that among twenty themes at macro level, thirteen themes emerged namely: culture, social control, socialization, self and other, status and role, sex and roles, total institutions, urban sociology, poverty, family religion, collective behavior, and, deviance. At micro level, optimism/pessimism, ambition, betrayal/revenge, curiosity/apathy, and, doubt/certainly depicted in the literary works studied. The lived experiences of Bangsamoro as one region shared common dilemmas encountered by most Filipinos such as poverty, family trust, dreaming big, safety, love affairs, and city-life. On the other hand, specific conditions from the narratives of writers as Bangsamoro are the marriage agreement, identity role, discrimination, strict religious beliefs, and others. Furthermore, literature unveils social conditions which can serve as sociological data to explore social structures and dynamics. This leads to a more comprehensible image of the extant culture, behavior, and local knowledge on particular groups.

Abstract

This study investigates the indigeneity of the seven tribes of Bukidnon province through the Kaamulan Festival 2025. The festive celebration brings not only entertainment but also an exploration to know about the indigenous people and their culture. To carrried out the study, the researcher employed the ethnographic research method to describe the observed activities. A casual interview was done to few locals encountered. The immersion involved the use of field notes, cameras, and audio/video records. The findings discovered the participation from the seven tribes gathering in Malaybalay City is equally given importance in the celebration. Their presence through showcasing their practices, rituals, dances, and songs through performances helped to understand the Kaamulan festival. The festival is comprised of various events and exhibitions signifying unity. Primarily, the highlights of the Kaamulan is centered to ‘piniliyapan’, ‘pamalabag’, ‘pangampo’, etc. in branding its event. Authentic experience is engrained in the performances due to the real members of the indigenous people. They are performing their usual daily activities back home in their village. However, the authenticity of few and well-choreographed movements might eradicate the original and naturalness of particular cultural performance. This implies a delimma on authenticity. Hence to explore this, it is recommended to fully validate movements and actions to the people themselves. Their authority entails respect and establishing orientation to the multiple stakeholders who organize the Kaamulan.
