    Ilocano People

    • The Ilocano or Ilokano people are
    the third largest Filipino 
    ethno linguistic group. Aside from
    being referred to as Ilocanos, they
    also refer to themselves as Samtoy,
    from the Ilocano phrase "sao mi
    ditoy", meaning 'our language
    here.' The word "Ilocano" came
    from the word "Iloco" or "Yloco
    • The Ilocano people are indigenous to coastal areas
    of northern Luzon in the Philippines.  Today, the
    Ilocanos are the dominant ethnic group in northern
    Luzon, and their language (Ilocano) has become the 
    lingua franca of the region, as Ilocano traders
    provide highland peoples with their primary link to
    the commerce of the outside world.  Ilocandia is the
    term given to the traditional homeland of the
    Ilocano people; present-day Ilocandia roughly
    encompasses regions 1 through 3 of the Philippines
    (the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, and parts of 
    Central Luzon), as well as the 
    Cordillera Administrative Region.
    Culture
    • They are characterized as being hardworking and
    frugal, and they engage primarily in farming and
    fishing. The Ilocano culture represents very
    simple, sometimes spartan day-to-day living,
    focusing mostly on work and productivity,
    spending only on necessities and not on so much
    on ostentatious material possessions. Ilocanos
    also exemplify a great degree of respect and
    humility in their everyday dealings, much similar
    to their Tagalog counterparts.
