Hi Sidney. Great Ifugao/Mayoyao series! Thanks for featuring the highlanders. Seeing this made me a prouder IGOROTA! My fave - the boy and the bogger, hahaha.
lovely pictures. hmm, looks like the rule is 'no hands allowed'. I'm an Igorot from another province, but I havent known of this practice by the Ifugaos. Very intriguing though.
These games look like fun to watch ... one can tell by the look of all those spectators! lol Wish I was there to watch the whole thing and see who won! ;)
Great shots Sidney!
