Gawis ay kultura ya pammati. Adi tako iwaksi, tay siya nan nang-olnos isnan ili. (Good is the culture and beliefs. We should not leave them behind, for they keep the community peaceful and united.)

Theme of the Sagada Etag Festival 2019

Welcome to my blog!

This blog will feature the fascinating and diverse cultures of the Cordilleras, fabled during the ancient times, largely untouched by the colonizers, and preserved until this day.

“Laydena ay menbasa“, in the Kankanay language, means “He loves to read”. I love reading and sharing what I read, and in this blog, I will share things about the culture of the Igorots, from food the practices and other trivia you might not have known before.

Stay tuned for more updates!
