Pentik Manok is a Bagobo song that is often erroneously appearing in Philippine music textbooks as an Igorot folk song. This song is actually collected by Isaias Lim from a Bagobo singer in 1971 around the vicinity of Malita, Davao for the now UP Center for Ethnomusicology. The song was transcribed by Sr. Lilia Therese L. Tolentino and reprinted in a music book which I, regrettably, forgot the title. It later found its way to public school textbooks for Grades 3 and 4 sometime in the late 1980s. This song is translated: Use the sling on the brave chicken/ That is going around the trap/ The downward movement was stopped/ Chop wood now for firewood/ To cook the sweet potato.
