One of the means in which man and woman can achieve full humanity is through culture. It is for this reason that popular religiosity, as an expression of culture, is taken into study to find out its significant contribution to full human development, particularly of the lawes of Tuao. This study dwells into establishing the salvific elements or life- giving elements of the ritual tahollu, as contributory towards their Christian Catholic concept of salvation. The ritual tahollu of the Iraves is one of the practices that helps in solving the human problems of the ordinary human being, and is a means of achieving earthly salvation. Furthermore, the practice is connecting the person to his/her God, also to unseen beings and spirits, to the past, and to nature. This is telling us that the practice is not only concerned about human relationships but extends to other beings.
