This word is from the Subanen language.
búklog
Buklog is an elaborate thanksgiving ritual system of the Subanen, an indigenous people in the southern Philippines. The head of a host family — usually a village chief called ‘timuay’ — plans the ritual system to express gratitude to the spirits.
Most important of the ritual dances of the Subanon is the buklog which is performed on a platform at least 6–10 meters above the ground. The most expensive ritual of the Subanon, the buklog is held to commemorate a dead person, so that his acceptance into the spirit world may be facilitated, or to give thanks for a bountiful harvest, or to ask for such a harvest as well as other favors from the diwata.
In 2019, the buklog was added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.
