Abstract
People who live in the Northern Philippines, notably in the Cagayan Valley Region, speak Ybanag as a language. Using a sequential-explanatory research design, this study investigated the Ibanags' commitment to their native tongue in a town in the Northern Philippines. According to the study's findings, the respondents mostly utilize Ybanag as a language of self-expression and to communicate with their family, neighbors, and community. On the other hand, communication in the workplace, the church, and schools is primarily conducted in Filipino. A favorable attitude is shown by the respondents regarding the Ybanag language. When respondents were categorized by age and gender, there was no discernible variation in their preferred languages. The results also indicated that there is no significant variation in the respondents' attitudes toward the Ybanag language when they are grouped by age and gender. Therefore, it is advised that the community implement a project-based linguistic solidarity extension program in order to protect the Ybanag tongue.
