At the close of the rice harvest, at the beginning of the season Li'-pas, the lis-lis ceremony is widely celebrated in the Bontoc area. It consists, in Bontoc pueblo, of two parts. Each family cooks a chicken in the fireplace on the second floor of the dwelling. This part is called "cha-peng'." After the cha-peng' the public part of the ceremony occurs.
This period is not a period of "no work" it has many and varied labors. The second period is La'-tub. It is that of the first harvests, and lasts some four weeks, ending about June 1. Cho'-ok is the third period. It is the time when the bulk of the palay is harvested. It occupies about four weeks, running over in 1903 two days in July. Li'-pas is the fourth period.
