Born with a Culture, Learning the Culture

I know that with my early age I still may not know yet how diverse Filipino cultures are, but then one thing is for sure that despite these differences we are still one as a citizen of the Philippines. I grew up in the Municipality of Cervantes which is, presently, under the Ilocos Region. With that I also grew up using the Ilocano language though both my parents' mother tongue is Kankana-ey, a specific  group of Igorots. But in growing up, I still manage to learn how to speak Kankana-ey and understand it too. I may not be a good speaker of our native language but at least in my own little ways, I , gradually, is trying to learn more deep words because I am a proud Igorot.
