The Fashion of Ifugaos

We can compare how the ifugaos dress from other tribes. They have also a different sense of fashion. The ifugaos dress simply due to the temperate climate, but also decorate themselves ornately. The men wear clouts and carry spears with them most of the time while the women wear loin cloths resembling short skirts that extend from their waist to their knees. Both men and women decorate themselves with various jewelry, such as pieces made of gold, brass, beads, pearl, etc.

“Baki”– A Traditional Ritual of Ifugaos

I introduced about the ifugaos on my first post. They are the people that have different cultures and traditions. They follow some teachings that passed from generation to genertion. Some of their cultures and traditions are not acceptable to others. Anyway, each of us follows certain teachings from our forefathers. In the case of ifugaos, one of their cultures and traditions is the baki. “Baki” is a traditional ritual performed by a munbaki which is mostly male. The munbaki does not accept payment for his performance but if you want to give compensation, its up to him if he accepts.

The purpose of this ritual is to appease the aamod or the ancestral spirits, the gods and deities. They also believe in Maknongan, a supreme supernatural being in the skyworld. They believe that it has the power to bless and protect the people and drive the evil from inflicting diseases and evil curses or wishes from an enemy.

About Ifugaos

Hello! Here’s a blog about ifugaos. Do you have any knowledge about them? Maybe you’re wondering what are these or who are they, where they come from and other questions that you may ask.

The ifugaos’ origin is derived from the word “Ipugo” which means “from the hill”. The name “Ipugo” refers to the rice given to the ifugaos by their god Matungalan. This is according to Ifugao mythology. Until now, the ifugaos are still cultivating this kind of rice grain.

Anyway Ifugao is also the name of the place of the ifugaos. Ifugao is a landlocked province of the Philippines in the Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon. Its capital is Lagawe and borders Benguet to the west, Mountain Province to the north, Isabela to the east, and Nueva Vizcaya to the south.

You’ll know more about them on my next posts. I’ll end temporarily here coz I’ll do some works on inspirational pages and enewsfinder, sites for news and information.
