BIBAK Hawaii is proud to represent the Igorot culture. The Cordillera region of Northern Philippines is the ancestral domain of the Igorots. BIBAK stands for Benguet/Baguio, Ifugao, Bontoc (Mountain Province), Abra/Apayao and Kalinga. These were the five provinces of the Cordillera in the 1960s when the original BIBAK organization was founded by Igorot college students. Today, the Philippine Cordillera region is politically divided into six provinces of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province plus the lone city of Baguio. Today, there are BIBAK organizations around the world and consist of Igorot families and friends.
The Igorots are made up of several ethno-linguistic groups including the Bontoc, Ibaloi, Ifugao, Isneg (or Apayao), Kalinga, Tingguian, Gaddangs,
Kankana-ey and others.

The BIBAK Hawaii is the acronym for Benguet/Baguio, Ifugao, Bontoc (Mountain Province), Apayao/Abra and Kalinga. These are provinces in the Cordillera in Northern Philippines. The objectives of BIBAK Hawaii are to promote fellowship and unity among BIBAK members in Hawaii, and to promote and preserve the cultural heritage of the Igorots of the Cordillera.

The BIBAK Hawaii marching unit is an intergenerational group of immigrants, Mainland transplants, and local-born folks. BIBAK Hawaii was founded in 1979 by U.S. Navy families and other immigrant families from the Cordillera region of Northern Philippines. Like the original BIBAK of the 1950s, it serves two main objectives. First, members provide mutual support like one big ohana or family. Second, members perpetuate cultural heritage and traditions of the Igorots, a collective term for indigenous people of the Cordillera region in the Philippines. BIBAK organizations around the world contribute to the richness of cultural diversity by presenting the cultural expressions of northern Cordillera Philippine ethnic groups like the Ibalois, Kankana-eys, Bontocs, Ifugaos, Bagos, Kalingas, Isnag, Itneg, and Tingguians. Most members are descended from these ethnic groups or affiliated through marriage or friendship. Many also trace their roots to the cosmopolitan Cordillera city of Baguio, one of the sister cities of Honolulu. Baguio was founded in 1909 by then Philippine Assembly headed by a US Governor General.
