Professor N. Satō of the International Christian University in Tokyo kindly accompanied me on the fieldwork. On Saturdays and Sundays from June to December in 1969 we visited the field when we were free from teaching at the Ateneo, and in 1970 I went back to the field four times. I am deeply indebted to Governor Isidro Rodriguez of Rizal Province for sparing his precious time in finding us a sitio suitable for the fieldwork. Likewise to the staff of the Governor and to Mayor San Juan of the Municipality of Morong goes my deep gratitude. Professor Mary Hollnsteiner of the Institute of Philippine Culture at the Ateneo kindly read my draft and gave valuable comments. Mr. Normando de Leon, a graduate student in Anthropology at the Ateneo, helped me with his elegant Tagalog all the time I was in Pulong Kumanoy. Finally, I would like to express my thanks to the people of Pulong Kumanoy who gave me a generous opportunity to learn about their life. I also would like to apologize for my boldness in publishing this article, given the short time I was actually in the field. Every time I visited the sitio, I found myself a hasty observer, and the data are not always based on the participant-observation technique. Therefore, any deficiencies in this paper are attributable to my inadequate coverage of the facts.
