Note 6 — Chapter IV · Economic Life Production (continued 2)

In 1665–1668 Friar Casimiro Diaz wrote of the Igorot that they used arrows,6 but it is believed his statement did not apply to the Bontoc man. Igorot-like people throughout northern Luzon commonly do not have this weapon, yet the large Tinguian group of Abra, west and north of Bontoc, and the Ibilao of southeastern Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, and adjacent Isabela employ the bow constantly.
