“When planting kamote, think of the rains, and avoid the rainiest days, when the worms will attack the tuber. A good time to plant is April or May. Count 5 to 6 months, and harvest before the strong storms”
“Kamote and gabi are required as offerings during the Ibaloy rituals, along with one or more pigs, a big jar of rice wine, and cooked rice. When we give these offerings, we invite the unseen spirits including our ancestors and family members who have gone ahead, to join the celebration and partake of the food.” — excerpts from the book Welcome to our Ba-ëng!, 2021
