Sinda: The Mother Nature Vengeance On Environmental Exploitation.

Mother Earth offers us everything. Humans have spent their entire lives altering ecological communities and ecosystems by taking advantage of what the nature offers. The exploitation of natural resources is the excessive human abuse of resources that made the planet exhausted. This study explored on Sinda: The Mother Nature Vengeance on Environmental Exploitation at Tabon, Tapaz, Capiz, Philippines. Using the qualitative research design, three (3) informants who are siruhano and are treating sinda were purposively chosen. Fieldwork, observations, informal and key informant interviews, and documentary and photographic analysis were the methods used. Verbatim data transcripts were analyzed using the general inductive approach (Thomas, 2006) in Berondo (2023) and in vivo coding technique. The patterns of sinda vary from the origin and belief of the respondents in the local community. In terms of dynamics, sinda was known as a vengeance of mother earth in exploiting nature.
