Abstract

Pinnapigas is a custom in which the residents of Tubo, Abra participate in a shared traditional meal. The study explores the cultural importance of pinnapigas in Tubo, Abra, identifies the factors contributing to the decline of pinnapigas, and proposes interventions for their preservation. The study employed a qualitative design, conducting interviews with residents of Tubo, Abra, using purposive sampling. The researcher finds out that pinnapigas symbolize values of generosity, interconnectedness among the community, and cultural identity. However, some factors impacted the decline of such practice, such as modernization, urbanization, changing lifestyles, technological advancements, and migration. The study concludes that the active involvement of younger generations through workshops and community dialogues is significant for preserving pinnapigas, assuring their continuity for future generations. In addition, this research is relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of SDG 2: Zero Hunger in promoting traditional food practices through preservation of knowledge in cultural food resources, also the SDG 4 on Quality Education in handing down knowledge and skills that provide educational opportunities for the younger generation to learn about their heritage.
