Rice terraces in Hapao and Hungduan
2007-12-04 13:58:00 Today was a fantastic day! I finally visited one of the UNESCO-inscribed terraces, the Hapao and Poblacion clusters in Hungduan. There are five all in Ifugao and the cluster in Banaue poblacion is not one of them! These five are Hungduan, Mayoyao, Nagacadan in Kiangan, and Batad & Bangaan in Banaue.It was a one and a half hour jeepney ride from the Banaue town proper to the Hapao Terraces in Hungduan. Then from there, we motored to the Hungduan Terraces in the Poblacion. We were welcomed by the mayor and other city officials. Lunch was served in front of the municipal hall. Around the area were examples of traditional Ifugao dwellings.Before proceeding back to the hotel, we then passed by Lagud Village Learning Inn, a community-based tourism project where tourists can opt to stay in traditional Ifugao dwellings. In fact, there have been five Japanese exchange student living there for several mounths now, immersing with the community. We also donated P200 for kids to a plant tre...

Banaue Rice Terraces is the 8th Wonder of the World
2007-09-22 04:01:00 Did you know......that UNESCO List of World Heritage named the Banaue Rice Terraces the Eight Wonder of the World? It also earned citations from the prominent American Society of Civil Engineers. This 2,000-year-old engineering wonder is actually rice fields built manually by the Ifugaos (local native people of Banaue) to provide themselves a source of livelihood in the highlands. Basically, the irrigation system that were skillfully put in place comes from the mountain streams, enough to support and grow a fine harvest.For some, it?s just a ricefield. But when I was younger, I was taught that the Terraces is our stairway to heaven.Visit its official site for more information. It's a must-see for tourists like you.Find this site helpful?

Restore the Ifugao Rice Terraces before it's too late
2007-08-24 05:19:00 We seem to forget there is a delicate balance between man and nature that needs to be preserved. Such a balance was close to perfect in the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras until neglect came into the picture. I've always lamented the fact that the Banaue Rice Terraces are now the Banaue House Terraces with so many unsightly structures built on them. I understand the need for more homes in the area to shelter the growing population. But can't they be built the traditional way so as not to destroy the landscape, the very cultural landscape which gives them funds to build their new structures in the first place?The UNESCO has spoken: restore the Ifugao Rice Terraces or it's out of the UNESCO World Heritage List! Those shanties and other unsightly buildings must go! If new structures must be built, let them mimic the traditional Ifugao homes with cogon roofs and wooden walls. In fact, although it may be artificial, I feel covering all those structures with cogon would mak...
