They were carved from the hillside by the tribes people of Ifugao about 2,000-3,000 years ago. The tribes people dug them out with their bare hands and crude implements. Doing so they created steps in the hills where they could plant their rice. The rice terraces are still used to this day. Reiserute Day 1: Manila - Banaue Day 2: Banaue Day 3: Banaue - Bontoc Day 4: Bontoc - Baguio City Day 5: Baguio City - Manila The Cordillera in northern Luzon is the highest and largest mountain range in the Philippines. The scenery, culture and environment in the Cordillera mountains are very different from other parts of the country. Whilst most of the Philippines is dominated by sandy beaches, small tropical islands and warm weather, the Cordillera mountains have cool weather, alpine vegetation, and stunning rice terraces inhabited by tribal people called Igorots (literally translated as "people from the mountains"). The largest city in the Cordillera mountains is Baguio City – known as the summer capital of the Philippines. Other popular tourist destinations in the region include: Banaue (famous for its ancient rice terraces), Sagada (famous for hanging coffins and burial caves), Bontoc (home to an extensive collection of tribal artifacts in the Museum of Mountain Culture), and Mount Data. Day 1: Manila to Banaue Departure for Banaue, 360kms from Manila. Travel north on the express way and Cagayan Valley Road until the town of Bagabag in Nueva Vizcaya, then climb 1300m above sea level to Banaue. Check in at Banaue Hotel late in the afternoon. Day 2: Banaue From the hotel, board a local jeepney for a ride to Banga-an native village, accessible after a short hike from the main road. After spending some time in the village, continue to a vantage point to view and admire the rice terraces. If placed end to end, the Banaue Rice Terraces will reach halfway around the world. Proceed to the town's public market to mingle with the local people and view the vast array of native handicraft. Time permitting, visit another village before returning to the hotel in the afternoon. The Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippines have been deemed the 8th wonder of the world. They were carved from the hillside by the tribes people of Ifugao about 2,000-3,000 years ago. The tribes people dug them out with their bare hands and crude implements. Doing so they created steps in the hills where they could plant their rice. The rice terraces are still used to this day. The terraces are considered to be one of the greatest engineering feats of mankind. If each one were connected end to end, then they would reach halfway across the globe or be 10 times as long as the Great Wall of China. It was not until 1995 that the Banaue Rice Terraces were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO Day 3: Banaue to Bontoc Drive north along the winding mountain trail and hinterland town of Bontoc, where the museum founded by the Belgian sisters is visited. Weather conditions permitting, visit the lfugao burial caves in Sagada and inter mingle with the natives. Continue the drive through the winding narrow road of unspeakable beauty until you reach Mount Data, atop of which is Mount Data Lodge. Overnight at either Mt. Data or Bontoc depending on prevailing weather conditions. In February 1942, the dreaded Japanese Army arrived in Bontoc via the Nueva Viscaya and Kalinga route. A garrison was established in the town. The Anglican Mission dormitories were served as quarters for the officers. Dr. Hillary Clapp was made governor of Mountain Province and during his term, the people were spared from so much suffering from the Japanese colonizers. On January 9, 1945, the American Forces landed in Lingayen and the Japanese forces retreated northwards. In February of the same year, American planes dropped incendiary bombs in Bontoc and bombed again the place the following month. It razed the town so the people fled to the mountains for cover while the Japanese troops arrived daily fleeing towards Aparri and Kiangan to join the troops of General Yamashita. In August 1945, USAFE troops arrived and the people came out from their hiding.Peace came earlier in Bontoc than the rest of the country. On July 4, 1945, the Philippine Republic was born. Bontoc slowly rose from the ruins of the war and the following years marked the changes and development Day 4: Bontoc to Baguio City Continue the drive through majestic scenery to Baguio City, the country's summer capital. Embark on a brief tour of the city to include Session Road, Burnham Park and Mansion House, the President's summer residence. The highlight of the tour is the public market where villagers come to sell their goods. Overnight & dinner in El Cielito Inn or similar hotel. Day 5: Baguio to Manila After check out, travel back to Manila via the National highway passing through Luzon's Central Plain, thence the North Expressway. Arrive Manila early evening.

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

Calimag, Kalinga-Apayao State College, Bulanao Tabuk City, Kalinga Abstract: This study is a descriptive-historical research on the life and experiences of migrants in Kalinga. This was conducted to understand the life migrants and the challenges they faced as they transferred residence. The participants of the study are the migrants of Kalinga aged 55 and above. Interview was the primary method used in gathering data for the study. An interview guide was used as a basis for questioning while note-taking was done by the researcher to document the information supplied by the participants. All conversations were also recorded through a tape recorder. Secondary resources such as researches, books and articles were used to further explain the results of the study. Results of the study revealed that the life of migrants is not just as easy, they faced a lot of challenges after migrating. They experienced financial difficulties, problems in relation to bodong, fear of Kalingas due to political conflicts, land grabbing, health problems, tribal wars, and differences in beliefs and religion. In view of the aforementioned findings and conclusions, the following topics are hereby recommended that this research will be a basis of the government of Kalinga as they create programs that involve migrants and as they review the implementation of bodong in their locale. Keywords: Migrants, focus, life, experiences, Kalinga INTRODUCTION One of the most difficult decisions a person can make is to leave the place where he used to live and transfer to a new community with more opportunities than the former.

  • Selling Banaue: Material Culture in the Marketing of a Tourist Destination*
    Selling Banaue: Material Culture in the Marketing of a Tourist Destination* JACK G. L. MEDRANA romotion of an expected image is a main concern of many Pplace-based cultural and natural attractions. Iconic representations of what a destination should be are exposed to consumers through a variety of media, the process of which allows actors and messages to become intensely involve in interpretation. A scholarship in the social sciences has thus discovered this inquiry on tourism as fertile ground in which a praxis of studying the tourist encounter can be developed. Reading the space and artifact of the tourist encounter as text would be one avenue where a destination image is reproduced. In this paper, I use an eclectic mix of two methods that will help me narrate the re-creation of a destination image of Banaue, a mountain town on the interior of Luzon Island, the Philippines and a major tourist destination in the country. Examining destination image has been an established thread in the marketing literature of tourism. A fashionable way of treatment is to see destination image as composed of factors that could be handled through econometrics. For instance, Li and Vogelsong (2002) have proposed a model for image promotion derived from how a destination image is understood, and how the model’s constituent parts become integrated into an algorithm. The authors operationalize these parts to study the image of the Chinese city of Nanjing, showing 21 MEDRANA / SELLING BANAUE in quantified terms the representative objects, frequent descriptors, and information channels that were at work in producing particular images of the city.

Planning for Sustainable Access of Upland Tourism Sites in the Cordillera Region, Philippines Introduction Upland tourism sites in the Cordillera Region are composed mostly of natural (e.g. waterfalls and caves) and of man-made creation (e.g. rice terraces and hanging coffins). It takes at least six hours to reach the jump off points from the major city, Baguio City. These jump off points are the town centers that are not usually properly planned to accommodate the influx of tourists (both local and foreign) who usually brought vehicles with them. As they visit tourist sites, most of them would bring their vehicles to as near as possible to the attraction for easy access.

  • Worldviews on Biodiversity from Selected Villages Around Ifugao Rice Terraces in the Philippines
    Journal of Nature Studies 14 (2): 81-95 ISSN: 1655-3179 WORLDVIEWS ON BIODIVERSITY FROM SELECTED VILLAGES AROUND IFUGAO RICE TERRACES IN THE PHILIPPINES Inocencio E. Buot. Jr.1, 2 and Harold M. Carag1 1 Institute of Biological Sciences, University of the Philippines Los Baňos, Laguna, Philippines 2Faculty of Management and Development Studies, University of the Philippines Open University, Los Baňos, Laguna, Philippines *Corresponding author: ABSTRACT – This paper aims to assess the respondents’ prior knowledge on biodiversity and suggest some action plans for biodiversity awareness campaign among the locals. A total of 18 respondents from Banaue, Hungduan and Mayoyao participated in the survey. The web tool was adopted from http://biodiversity.wwviews.org/ (2012) but with some modifications. The results show a great concern over the loss of biodiversity (83% of the respondents) and is clearly reflected in their support of protective measures at the expense of economic constraints. Around 56% of the respondents are familiar about biodiversity and understood that most people in the world including the Ifugao residents, are affected by biodiversity loss. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of the respondents said that both industrialized and developing countries should be obliged to pay for biodiversity protection and when needed, 78% of them think that a global fee should be paid for their utilization. There is a general remarkable support for expanding international biodiversity regulation and therefore the extent to which burdens and benefits are shared. The local scenario of Ifugao was briefly analyzed and an action plan on biodiversity awareness campaign through policy and education was suggested. Keywords: Worldviews, Biodiversity, Ifugao Rice Terraces INTRODUCTION The concept of worldview has been described as mental lenses that are entrenched ways of perceiving the world (Olsen et al., 1992).

Tt has been suggested by Dr. Fritz Kranzliu that the species of Dcn~ drochilum which I have assigned to the section Acoridmm ought to constitute a distinct genus. Dr. Kriinzlin asserts that the form of the labellum is quite distinctive in Acoridiuin on account of its likeness to the letter E. When I studied DendrochiluDi tenclhun in the preparation of Fascicle I of ^'^Orchidaceae" I felt strongly that it belonged to a genus entirely distinct from DendrocliUum because of the absence of stelidia from the column and of the peculiar subfiliform leaves. Since then I have been convinced by a study of more material that Acoridiuin belongs to DendrocliiJum. In the first place, the E-formed labellum on which Dr. Kranzlin lays emphasis is only characteristic of a majority of the species of the section Acoridiuin and is not found in D. turpe, D. oligan- fJiun), D. ]ia.'<fatum, I).

    Ecosystems & Development Journal 8(2): 3-27 October 2018 ISSN 2012– 3612 ABSTRACT Mt. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary (MCWS) is regarded as home to more than a hundred species of plants, but its floristic composition, vegetation structure, and diversity pattern remained unclear since its declaration as a protected area. Floristic Composition, After the recent plant diversity assessment conducted following the prescribed methodology by the DENR–Biodiversity Vegetation Structure, and Management Bureau, the conservation value of the mountain was emphasized. This paper provides a concrete evidence that Diversity Pattern of Mt. MCWS is home to diverse yet unique species of plants. A total of 181 morpho–species belonging to 67 families were recorded. Calavite Wildlife Sanctuary: MCWS now holds a large number of species of at least 250 morpho–species based on the assessment and gathered Basis for Management and secondary data. Thirty–three (33) are threatened and forty–six (46) species are endemic to the Philippines. Four (4) species Conservation Planning are known to occur only in MCWS, namely – Ardisia 1,2 1,3* calavitensis Merr., Peristrophe cordatibractea Merr., Pastor L. Malabrigo, Jr. , Adriane B.
