The Origin of Rice is a Philippine Legend. It was written in several languages, including Ibaloi, Bohol, and Tagalog. The Bohol version is the most popular.
In the Ibaloi version of the origin of rice, it is believed that the first rice came from the tears of a goddess named "Inabuyog." She wept for her people during a time of famine, and her tears fell to the ground, transforming into rice plants. This sacred gift provided sustenance and abundance, leading the Ibaloi to revere rice not just as food, but as a symbol of life and gratitude to the divine. Hence, rice holds a crucial place in their culture and traditions.
It is thought that Asian rice was originally domesticated in China about 12,000 years ago. In time it spread to other parts of Asia including The Philippians and the Nabaloi / Ibaloi people.
In the Ibaloi version of the rice legend, the goddess associated with rice is often referred to as "Apo Kabunian." She is revered as the deity of agriculture and fertility, responsible for providing sustenance and ensuring a bountiful harvest. The Ibaloi people hold ceremonies and rituals to honor her, reflecting their deep connection to the land and their reliance on rice as a staple food.
