Aside from the "pamahiin", "kasabihan" are also a trademark of their culture. Sayings that they use to give advice and also their basis to have and to live a healthy and well lives


Ti bassít a káyo nalaká a lintegén, ngem no dakkél narigáten.
A young tree is easy to straighten, but when it's big it is difficult.


Ti táo nga mannaríta, awán ti ania nga magapuánanna.
A man that talks too much accomplishes little.


Mabiág ti kalkalsáda, matáy ti koskosína.
Captivating in the street, dead in the kitchen (lady who dresses beyond her means)


Ti napudpudno a gayyémmo, am-ammontó no addáka ití pelígro.
A true friend is known in time of need.


Tay áso nga taol nga taol saán a makakagát ken makadunor.
Barking dogs seldom bite.


Awán kas iti sursúro a sanikuá, ta daytá awán makatákaw kenká.
Knowledge is wealth that can't be stolen.


No trabáho, gulpién, no kanén, in-inúten.
If it's work, do it fast. If it's food, eat it little by little.


Ti táo a manákem, dína makíta ti panagdissó ti sakána ití dagá.
Kitáenna ketdi ti sumarunó a baddekánna

A wise man doesn't see his foot on the ground, he watches his next step.

Ti nalaká ti pannakasápulna, nalaká met ti pannakapúkawna.
What is easily acquired is easily lost.



 Ilocano's may have evolved and gone with the different flow of nature, but it's not a reason to let it go together with the wind. A tribe like this should be treasured and must manifest.
