The Cordillera mountains are located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. These mountains rise over 2000 meters and are the backdrop for a local mythological tale passed down over the generations.
Bugan and Wigan were the first Ifugao. God gave them rice, and something that enabled them to grow rice in the harsh mountains The Rice Terraces
The Rice Terraces spread across the foot of the Cordillera mountains. The terraced area is around 20,000 hectares in total.
It is said that its length, if put end to end, would encircle half of the globe.
This is the Ifugao village of Bangaan.
The Ifugao tribe have cultivated and protected these Rice Terraces for over two thousand years, preserving the ways as described in their local myth.
People of the Ifugao live in stilt houses.
Harvested rice is stored in the attic. Smoke rises from below and keeps mice away from the crop.
Bulul is the God for protecting rice.
The Ifugao have worshiped the holy spirits of nature for countless generations.
