When I asked Manang Boks, granddaughter of Tata Orong Bañez about her fondest memory of Semana Santa, she replied, “Ti malagip ko tay agtitinnulong ti tattao (karruba, kakabagian ken gagayyem ni Tatangmi idi) nga agpatakder iti abong-abong, tagnawa kunadan sa idi ti kasdiay isu awan ti bayad da nga umay tumulong nga ag-obra. Agluluto met dagitay dadduman para merienda ken pangaldaw. No ti aldaw ti Viernes Santo, kalaksidan ti inkami panagtulong ti agluto ti makmakan para ti pa-leccio, agay-ayam kami pay umuna ti tinuktok (tay maburak ti ukis na, isu ti maabak). Manipud mapatakder ti abong-abong, panagdekorar ti altarna, panagluto para kadagiti umay maki-leccio, ken tay panagpakan ti pa-leccio, haan maputpot ti gagayyem ken kakabagian nga umay diay balay. Isu ti ragsakmi idi. Uray no haan mabalin ti ag-TV, ag-radio, agiryag wenno agkatawa ti napigsa, isu ti timemi nga agkakadua kami nga agkakasinsin ken makumpleto kami nga familia ti Semana. Malpas ti libot, pasiarenmi dagiti abong-abong ti entero nga Bangued.”

Abra Capitol Chorale singing the Abra March during the Iloko-Tingguian Cultural Festival, part of the Abrenian Kawayan Festival.

ABRA MARCH

Midst North Luzon verdant valleys and hills
Cradle of Filipino heroes brave
Lies Bukaneg land laden with nature’s gift
Virgin land Angalo's and Aran's promenade.
Land of towering mountains, hills, and rivers
Murmuring waterfalls and chanting Tingguian tribes
That’s Abra home of Maria Silang
Ilocandia's woman fighter for freedom
Oh! Abra ever beloved
Oh! Abra ever dearest
Here we come! Here we are!
We Abrenians together all from here and afar
Our minds, our hands, and our hearts
To you willingly we dedicate
To your greater heights
We shall onward
Abra rise, Abra dear land.

Abra March is the official hymn of the province of Abra. Sung by the Abra Capitol Chorale during the 2019 Iloko-Tingguian Cultural Festival.Abra MarchMidst N...

Our province's resources are not limitless. Without water, bamboo won't grow; food from the rivers and streams, forests and fields will be scarce.

As 15th-century artist Leonardo Da Vinci once said, "Water is the driving force of all nature."
