Prior to actual planting, a “pinadungan” is done, to harvest, such as making a pinadungan. The owner will harvest the pinadungan first before the whole kaingin is harvested. It is the eldest who will do the ritual. In the planting ritual, they put woods and tie it so that the rice will not be easily depleted. 

People give thanks for a child, it means they're showing happiness and appreciation to God for bringing that special little person into their lives.
