This motif shows how tribal culture in the Philippines is still strong and connected to the modern world. It represents the amazing spirit of people who work hard to keep old traditions alive, showing that the past and present can live together beautifully. For example, while many of us use modern vehicles like cars and buses for daily travel, we can still see the kalesa, a traditional horse-drawn carriage, in different areas. This sight reminds us of our roots and shows how traditional practices can continue alongside modern changes.

We also see the Igorot people practicing their rich cultural heritage, wearing traditional clothing and taking part in their ancient rituals, even in today's busy society. This choice reflects their respect for their heritage and a desire to keep their culture alive. The link between traditional practices and modern life is clear in our celebrations and festivals, where old customs mix with new ideas. This balance between the old and new makes our lives richer and strengthens our communities. Ultimately, this motif represents a living culture that keeps evolving while staying connected to its origins, showcasing the beautiful blend of Filipino identity in both tribal traditions and the modern world.
