Modern Igorot
23 Apr 2013 | Baguio City, Philippines
Summer of 2011 when I visited Baguio City with a company of a Saudi colleague, a close friend and a cousin, that trip was memorable because I never used to roam around the city a lot from the previous visits I had aside from just visiting the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes to perform my “panata” during my vacation.
It was good to see Igorot nowadays stamping with tourists as well as the local residents, and now, they are even using cellphones to communicate with their loved ones. See how technology brought digital access to their modern lifestyle farther from their conventional way of living years and years back. Groomed with an Isneg or their traditional attire, we found these natives in front of Botanical Garden’s stone gate entrance posing and mimicking the popular V-Sign or Peace Sign (or whatever they call it) with tourists for photographs in exchange of few peso bill.
Igorot is an ethnic group that lives in the Mountain Province or Cordillera Region of the Philippines.
