The Kalinga practice both wet and dry rice farming.
They also developed an institution of peace pacts called Bodong which has minimised traditional warfare and headhunting and serves as a mechanism for the initiation, maintenance, renewal and reinforcement of kinship and social ties.

They also speak different kalinga tribal languages, Ilocano, Tagalog and English Kalinga, Ilocano languages.
Kalinga society is very kinship-oriented, and relatives are held responsible for avenging any injury done to a member.
Disputes are usually settled by the regional leaders, who listen to all sides and then impose fines on the guilty party.
These are not formal council meetings, but carry a good deal of authority.
