Interviewer; the 1st question was that, what was the degree of relatives or blood ties, is it the same

the
to the 3rd cousin or to the 4th cousin that you consider

Respondents; depende…for example, your mother is my sister so if your mother and me married bore
siblings and that will be 1st degree then if our children married an bore children, that will be the 2 nd
degree until the 3rd degree

Interviewer; you think the 4th degree is still considered in kinship

Respondents; yes, people already getting married to each other

Interviewers; so, for in laws…

Respondents; nan ni in laws, I think only the in law that may consider us relatives… so in law must
consider already you’re in relatives. And as for the family of the in laws they will be ‘’hina-ayduh’’

Interviewers; so for the next question, in you relatives or blood ties do you know someone who run for
any position in municipality or barangay

Respondents; barangay kagawad and in municipality official like William mamanglo

Interviewer; are they only the one who run for a position

Respondents; yes

Interviewers; can I know your relation to him

Respondents; he is my ‘’kamunakon’’

Interviewers; in this present election you think there is someone in your kins running for a position or an
official already

Respondents; there is none, maybe they didn’t want to or waiting for the right time

Interviewers; but what about your relative or your distant relative maybe there is

Respondents; yes, there is some officials in my distant relatives (ka reunionan) like the luglug famiy

Interviewers; ah see, and I think the luglug family is somewhat powerful in the field of politics

Respondents; yes, because they also have powerful background and good conduct in governancing…like
the daughter of luglug that won consecutive terms in councilor in the municipality of Banaue

Interviewers; may be because he has many relatives in Banaue that’s why she won

Respondents; yes, and because they have many relatives also… so even his father is the mayor in
hingyon last election, she has also many supporters in Banaue that’s why she won

Interviewers; you think this political dynasty…political dynasty is the term use in family that is powerful
in the field of politics, popular in voting…do you think they prohibit this kind of act, because some
families dominate the politics… so do you think this kind of act are good or not?
Respondents: in our municipality or community, they don’t like these kind of act because people say
that they must not dominate in the positions or in the field of politics like if your father run for mayors
and yet your relatives or children also run for other position so they say you think how many vote that
will you get….that’s what the perspective of people or voters

Interviewers: so, it not working that kind of act. …so that may be the bad effect of political dynasty so
people may not like families who repeatedly run in election

Respondents: of course, yes because for example like balinon who is in law of mariana and why that his
husband also run for a position that’s why other people criticize this kind of act.

Interviewers: so, in the municipality of Banaue this political dynasty is not exercised? There are no
powerful families and if you run for a position your relatives or closed relative must not run for other
position or?

Respondents: it was possible and it depends to the family…and if he/she lost in election then he/she will
repeat again and again same to the family member or relatives

Interviewers: so even the 5th degree or 4th degree like the distant relative and they come to ask for
support and help you think you will help them?

Respondents: yes, but the feelings are a little bit far

Interviewers: ah see, so that means it depends whether to support or not

Respondents: yes, it depends already to the person

Interviewers: so, let’s go to the next question… so what were the feast and occasions that people always
gather like….

Respondents: binogwah, kasar, natayan ngem except weh reunion emoh yah nun uudum moh

Interviewers: in reunion I think is that reunion were people gather for close relative to distant relative
that is 4th cousins to 5th cousins

Respondents: it depends if they decide to get the 5th cousins to the 4th cousins…depends to the topics of
the family

Interviewers: but mostly is 3rd or 4th degree?

Respondents: mostly is until 3rd cousin and it depends if they decide to get 4th cousins if they have big
budget for the reunion also for the 5th cousin if they want to

Interviewers: the occasions that we talk earlier what do you think occasions that you mostly see your
cousins?

Respondents: as for that, mostly you can see them in death gathering, ‘’binogwah’’ and wedding

Interviewers: I think reunion also is the one maybe…

Respondents: yes, reunion also is the one

Interview: also, I think some of relative’s politician appear in this occasion for them to be known and to
know whether to support them or not

Respondents: yes, it really happens mostly in elections …politicians roam around for support and to ask
for help

Interviewer: you think there is effect of this kinship to the political system in Banaue? Do you think there
is effect in voting?

Respondents: so for us in Banaue it depends on how the politician should act. Because even if the
politicians is your closed relatives but his personality is very bad then that means we won’t vote it

Interviewers: so that mean even is your closed relative bad his/her personality is bad then it is not good
to vote

Respondents: yes

Interviewers: that mean it really depends on us

Respondents: for us if that the case then we don’t really vote because of the personality and his bad
reputations

Interviewers: by the way I think politicians who is relative from closed to distant really comes for
support and help, what may be there qualifications before voting?

Respondents: of course, the person who has good reputation and good personality and also 1 st come 1st
serve or half half voting

Interviewers: what about for party identification
