Abstract

This study examines the preservation and story of the Datu Gara Shrine in Carigara, Leyte, Philippines. This study shows how the history and story of the Datu Gara Shrine have been preserved and the impact they have had on the people of the town. The researcher uses interviews with random participants who have knowledge of the history and how it has been preserved until today. In-depth interviews were conducted with people who are still alive and were witnesses to how the shrine was made. The findings show that the people of the town still honor and have never forgotten the famed leader of this town. They still celebrate and conduct a Mass at the shrine every year. The Datu Gara story has been passed down to every generation, and that is how the story remains alive today.
