N1  - Although the Bontoc, like the other peoples of Northern Luzon, practice the peace pact, they are the only group known to have laws on warfare. This tendency to fighting prevented their subjugation by the Spanish. The Americans seemed to have a pacifying influence that was most felt in Sagada and Bontoc town (CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, Vol. l, 158).
