The one who wrote it is a Mr. Oakes from Bontoc Central but it was first sang and popularized
by Pedro Chinalpan.
Mr. Oakes was so in love with a fair Bontoc maiden. However, the relationship did not prosper
because the woman married a Mr. Claver. Heartbroken, Mr. Oakes wrote the song.
This is just to give credit where credit is due. According to igorotblogger.com
