Bugak
Before any new rice is eaten, the ceremony called bugak is held. Some of the new rice and either dried meat or a chicken are cooked. A mambunong is not necessary, but the head of the household throws some of the cooked rice in the fire and says:
You, the fire which did the cooking, shall be the first to eat, in order that the rice shall not cause us to become sick.
He prays a similar prayer to the pots in which the cooking has been done, to the rack on which the rice was dried, and to the mortar in which it was threshed.
This ceremony corresponds to the bakak of the Nabaloi.
