    The Ifugao call themselves as i-pugao or "inhabitants of the known earth"; other variations of the name are

    Ifugaw, Ipugao, and Yfugao. They live primarily in the province of Ifugao in Central Cordillera, in Northern
    Luzon. The name is supposed to have come from ipugo which means "from the hill." their name is
    synonymous with the famous man-made Banaue Rice Terraces in northern Luzon, which had once been
    hailed the "eighth wonder of the world", and attributed to their engineering knowledge and agricultural
    terracing. Historically, Ifugao was one of the places in the Archipelago least influenced by the Spaniards, even
    though they did venture into Ifugao territory; the Spaniards were unable to transform their culture and
    values. Untouched by the influences of Spanish colonialism, Ifugao culture value kinship, family ties, religious
    and cultural beliefs. (Bigornia, 2019)
