This study aimed to have first-hand knowledge about the “Mankusjon-Traditional Ibaloi settlement of disputes in aid of the Philippine Criminal Justice System”. Researchers collected the data to answer the problem of this study, using ethnographical inquiry through semi- structured interview, storytelling and group discussion in obtaining the experiences of the participants from the selected Barangays of La Trinidad, Benguet. The participants were the three (3) Indigenous People Mandatory Representatives (IPMR), six (6) Council of Elders from each barangay and one (1) Municipal Indigenous People Mandatory Representative. In the statement of the problem, the findings is; mankusjon which is the prior engagement of both parties in a way of settling their contention without judicial intervention but only by means of “communication.” Results showed that there are steps in the tongtong process such as the rising of complaint, calling out of parties, setting date and venue, tongtongan proper, and decision. The rituals that are performed after settlement are peltik, sabusab, kafe and man-eddang. Based on the careful analysis of the findings, the researchers conclude that the mankusjon has a potential to be used in solving different disputes and have a big role as an Alternative Dispute Resolution. Researchers also conclude that the procedures of the tongtongan (mankusjon) practice of the Ibalois varies depending on the advice of the elders and the rituals are performed in accordance with its purpose.
