- Ivatan communities and oral-poetry researchers
- Worth noticing
- The page places laji in pre-wedding conferences, wakes, and courtship, and names singers from Itbayat, Sabtang, Mahatao, and Ivana.
Field notes
The page describes laji as a communal art whose lyrics carry cultural knowledge, and links it to social occasions rather than presenting it only as performance material. Singer references include Paciencia Gutierrez de Guzman in Itbayat and Rosita Alavado in Malakdang, Sabtang; the extract also shows captions for singers in Mahatao and Ivana. Its cultural-heritage notice is visible, though the supplied text cuts off before the full terms.
