Home of the Banaue Rice Terraces, Ifugao is also known as the landlocked province of the Philippines and wonderful, “photography-worthy” places can be seen here, since most of the land forms are etched like perfect sculptures. The name of province is derived from the word, “i-pugo“. The word Pugo means “hills”, while the letter i simply means, “from”. The Ilocanos, Ikalahan, Ayungon, and Kankana-ey also live in Ifugao, and the people of Ifugao definitely value the knowledge of their ancestors. So it is not surprising if their customs and beliefs may seem peculiar to many outsiders. Not only that, rice is part of a huge chunk in their culture. They have cultural feasts involving rice, as well as elaborate rituals.
