There were some interesting things to see along the way, while I tried not to fall off the rice terraces (I don't doing the mud bath). Kids were playing and running around I marvel at how easy they did it on the terraces. Small local communities almost barely touched by modern technology.
We passed by this guy while he was busy with his woodcarving. He didn't even stop from his work as I took his photo and asked him what he was carving. His hands were fast and sure, evidence that he has done it innumerable times. If only he had the available finished product. I would've bought one. He was carving a male hunter which was the perfect partner of a wood carving I already have. An Ifugao female carrying her baby on her native backpack.
A lot of Ifugao people turn to woodcarving during lull season in their farming activities. Woodcarving is also a source of income for them.
