The Ifugao rice terraces is really a cultural monument. Moreover, that aerial photograph really amazed me. The way I view now the Ifugao rice terraces is really indescribable… The Ifugao people are genius in arts and culture and together combined them with engineering and environmental conservation. really awesome!

This is my Province and Im proud of it but my generation now prefers to work at the lowland. Most of us from the highland are getting down because of the fastfaced run of things. But i think some of us will go back up because we are needed and also the lowlands is getting under water.

Hi Smitha, I hope you will enjoy your trip here in these islands, there are a lot of places to see and explore, food to try, and a pretty wide range of cultures to experience. In advance, I’d like to welcome you to the Philippines,

Cheers!

Hey I went around reading on the Ifugao rice terraces after this post, saw this quite interesting news article.

BANAUE, Ifugao: Aside from so-called heirloom rice, tourists will now also find dojo or weather loach in the paddies of the world-famous rice terraces of Ifugao province.

Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap and Gov. Teddy Baguilat of Ifugao on Saturday released a total of 20,000 dojo fingerlings into the rice terraces in Banaue town.

Baguilat said dojo is a delicacy in China, Japan and South Korea. He added that the provincial government is helping farmers obtain the Haggiyo label for the weather loach.

The Haggiyo label is the quality seal of the province. At present, four products bear the label: natural taro products such as cookies, biscuits and polvoron; smoked tilapia; tinawon rice; and Terraces Brew, a mixture of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans produced locally.

With the introduction of dojo, Baguilat said, local farmers will tend and protect the Ifugao terraces more.

Anyone has any pictures of what they are refering to here?
