MALAYBALAY CITY — If Higaonon Datu Bagani Alfredo Lake could have his way, he would not have taken the vaccines against COVID-19. He said there was no need for it as he believes his faith in Magbabaya and the spirits will protect him from the disease.

MORDENO But Guinoay said that most of his fellow Lumad in Lantud, a village of around 40 families, have been inoculated against the virus. Lintikan, a ritualist, said all of his four children were not vaccinated but never got infected with COVID-19. In contrast, he added, a niece and her husband, who were both inoculated, died from the virus.He admitted that most of the residents in his sitio, Intavas, availed of the vaccines. But he claimed that some of them who felt they had the symptoms of the virus went to him for treatment.

Yet, she clarified that “if it happened that I wasn’t in the government, it would be up to my conscience.”
