The second expedition was tricked into thinking that the Igorots wanted peace, only to be attacked when supplies ran low, necessitating that the expeditions survivors run for dear life. Secondly, I pointed out, in regard to the CPAs concept of Kaigorotan, that they had built this concept by a subtle, albeit unwarranted inference of a Cordillera ancestral domain, that is, the ancestral domain of Kaigorotan, from their premise that there are Cordillera ancestral lands. To their credit, it was indeed an amazing gathering of talent pangpangat, lalakay, teachers, barangay kapitan, men and women, young and old. The Igorots for their part reacted to this long sustained pressure with a multiplicity of tactics such as feigning to accept Christianity and then abandoning it when the situation was deemed right, and even killing the priest as well as converts. Given the lowlanders expectation that the Igorot should be subject to Spanish authority as they were, and should surrender his territory, his religion and way of life to the invaders, it was logical for them to blame Igorot bloodthirstiness, recalcitrance and unreasonableness for their losses rather than their Spanish governors.
