  Ifugao Rice Terraces Video

  A very helpful video about the Ifugao Rice Terraces.
  Paste this link in your browser: <http://www.youtube.com/user/WOWPHILIPPINESUK#play/uploads/1/FstpKez2o1c>

  Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 and dubbed as the "Eight Wonder of the World," the 2,000-year-old terraces manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugao people, who with bare hands carved this stair-like monument out of the Cordillera mountainside.

  September Philippine Festival Schedule

  SARAKIKI-HADANG FESTIVAL_
  September 1 8 | Calbayog City, Western Samar
  SARAKIKI is a local term apparently referring to premeditated or frenzied movements which means to allure, to draw with, to attract or exercise attraction, to entice or to win. By its pre-colonial denotation, it means to praise, extol or eulogize spirits of gods. The word does not only ascribe to the ritual or hadang as an activity to gratify the gods, but likewise hadang as the offering or the sacrifice.

    atsii I definitely agree. My family and I lived in Mactan for two years (near Bigfoot and Lapulapu Shrine) and it was practically summer weather all year long.

    If you love sunshine (28-32C), clear blue skies, gorgeous beaches, mouth-watering seafood and unbelievably low priced buffets (which includes Japanese food), Mactan and Cebu are the places you have to go! As the Cebuanos say, 'Nindot kaayo diri!'
