Albert Ernest Jenks says in The Bontoc Igorot (1905, 178): "Men go to war armed with a wooden shield, a steel battle-ax, and one to three steel or wooden spears. It is a man's agility and skill in keeping his shield between himself and the enemy that preserves his life." (See also PE00109, PE00110, PE0011.)
