Idjang is a triangular-shaped hilltop type of citadel found in the Batanes Islands in the Philippines. It is made of limestone and wood and was used by the Ivatan people. Ivatan people was also known to be one of the groups of people lived in 2200 BC - 800 BC
Background
In 1994, Eusebio Dizon, the deputy director of the National Museum of the Philippines, went to Batanes with his team for an archeological project. They discovered a triangular-shaped hill in Savidug, a town in Sabtang. These structures were called idjang.[1] In total, there have been 4 idjang found in Batanes.
The Ivatan traditionally lived in the idjang which were fortified mountain areas and drank sugar-cane wine, or palek. They also used gold as currency and produced a thriving agriculture-based industry as well as expertise in seafaring and boat-building.
Functions
The Ivatan people of the northern islands of Batanes often built fortifications to protect themselves during times of war. They built their so-called idjangs on hills and elevated areas.[1] These fortifications were likened to Southeast Asian temples because of their purpose. Usually, the only entrance to the temples would be stairs for the villagers so it would be easily recognized when invaders arrived, invaders such as Europeans.
Due to the colonial era
In 1783, the Spaniard invaders claimed Batanes as part of the Philippines under the auspices of Governor-General José Basco y Vargas, This made its own history to be vanished rapidly. The Bashi Channel had come to be increasingly used by English East India Company ships and the Spanish authorities brought the islands under their direct administration to prevent them falling under British control.[2] However, the Ivatan remained on their idjangs, or mountain fortresses. In 1790, Governor Guerrero decreed that Ivatans were to leave their idjang and to live in the lowlands, thereby giving them more people to tax. Basco and Ivana were the first towns.[2]
