Salegseg

Bearing its name from an ancient tradition, Balbalan town in Kalinga has its roots in the historical practices of war parties that once gathered by a creek for strategizing attacks on neighboring villages.

The name 'Salegseg' is linked to the town's violent history, stemming from the practices of these war parties. Despite its tumultuous past, Balbalan has transformed into one of the most tranquil places in Kalinga, showcasing the evolution and resilience of its cultural heritage.
