    IFUGAO

    By Joanne Senia
    Inhabitants of the known earth
    Ipugao is what we call ourselves since birth
    191,078 in number
    Located in the Cordillera Region
    Big in size
    So divided into 6 we were
    Banaue, Bunhran, Mayayao,
    Halipan, Hapao and Kiangang
    Revive traditional rice planting:
    Harvesting, synchronized lot preparation
    To manage rice pests effectively
    These are our practices
    Numerous deities we have
    Yet Mahnongan is our supreme god
    The creator and destroyer of entities
    Filled with great glory and respect
    Showing love for the dead
    Is the affluent ritual called Bogwa
    Wherein bones are exhumed and cleaned
    And returned to lubuk afterwards
    Colonialism passed us by
    Yet still left untouched
    The practice of narrative literature
    And woodcarving is our proof
    See for yourselves the wonder
    Of the renowned Banaue Rice Terraces
    Molded by our bare hands
    Distinguished by UNESCO
    Amidst worlds modernization
    Strong and united we are
    Culture and tradition seem what they are yesterday
    Thus, for today and endless tomorrows
