Introducing to you my hometown—MAYOYAO, IFUGAO
June 19, 2010Many times people ask me the question “tagaanu ka?” (From where are you?) And everytime I am asked with this question, I always feel hestitant to say I am from Mayoyao, Ifugao. Don’t get me wrong— I am not ashamed of my hometown. I AM PROUD TO BE AN E-majawjaw. I am just ashamed to say that I am from there because when questions follow about our culture, I cannot give a good description. I was only eight when I left our place. Then we just go home when there are special family gathering. With my limited background about my hometown, I can hardly make a description verbally. But maybe I can make a try with my blog.
The photographs below were taken in our place.I wish I can describe each photo properly, but in case there are corrections, please notify me right away.
This, the pyramid-shaped, is our very own native house. It has four posts that elevated the house with about 4 ft above the gound. My mother once told me that the reason why it was designed that way was to secure the house from wild animals that may attack them.

While the meat is being cooked, some folks are working with the stick that we use in preparing theshare of each individual present in the gathering. The right photo is the meat we distribute to the people. together with rice. This set-up is usually done during wake or burial. The meat is cooked with just plain salt.
