[edit] Christianisation

I appreciate very much those Balangao people because until now, they preserve their culture. their being hospitality is one i can say how good people they are. Now a days IFERANGAO are being Christianize, they now give up those earthly beliefs and now turning on to the true living GOD. If you wish to visit our home..it is your previledge.

[edit] Anti-Christianisation

I also appreciate those Balangao people very much and hope they will preserve their culture by NOT being christianized and retain their earthly believes. The only true believes are those which a people evolve within their own history; any believe imposed on a people by missionary effort is false by definition!

The Balangao seem to be notable enough, judging by Google results. In particlar, there is a language called Balangao, most probably associated with this tribe, which is even discussed in the scientific literature. See here for an overview; one sample publication is:

Shetler, Joanne; Walrod,Michael (1983). "Semantic and thematic structure of discourse in Balangao". Studies in Phillipine Linguistics 4 (2): 10-87. ISSN 0119-6456. 

But certainly there are also sources for the tribe as such (books, for example). Please add these to the article.

I am removing the "importance" tag. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 12:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
