[...] I hope our media feature more on the interesting traditions of our locals and indigenous people. Once such tradition that only a few people knew is the Festival of Lights celebrated high up in the mountains of Sagada.

Hi Bong: Yes, buti naman at maganda pa rin ang sagada after all these years maganda pa rin.

Yung mga tribes iba iba ang rituals nila after death. Yung isa they tie up their dead sa chair tas naka tapat sa door. And people still talk to this corpse as if they are living. They do these for a few days. Iba iba sila pero very interesting.

he ferdz,

i was in sagada three weeks ago and i must say it was a marvel, ang ganda ng lugar, malinis and the natives, they are so good..

ang alam ko sa Cordilleras, practice daw ng mga natives don na maglibing ng patay sa backyard ng bahay nila? some were even reported burying their dead inside their homes? totoo ba yon?

nice to be here again…
