- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- In this video we spend 3 days in Banaue and explore the beautiful Rice Terraces of North Luzon in The Philippines. Even when it is raining this place is an exciting place to travel to meet the people, try the food and enjoy the scenery. We hike through traditional Ifugao villages to waterfalls amongst the rice fields and visit the viewpoints to see the splendid Banaue Rice Terraces.

Brilliant video and great scenery!! Thank you so much for your hints and tips with the positive mindset. After having treatment on and off over the past couple of weeks at moorfields eye hospital, a few things are improving but still taking every day as it comes.
Hope all is well, take care
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Peter. A positive mindset is everything, especially coupled with exercise to get those feel-good hormones pumping. Sending you a big hug and all the very best wishes for your recovery and health 🤗♥️ ~ Mandy
The first rice terraces that became popular before but now there are a lot rice terraces that are also worth visiting like Batad, Bangaan, Mayoyao, Hungduan, Hapao , and Maligcong in mt. Province .
Batad was truly spectacular 🙌. I hadn't heard of the others, and will put them on the list for next time. Thank you for sharing this information.
They rebuilt the hanging bridge since my wife and I where there. it was P.S.P. decking when we where there. thats left over from WWII runway matting.
That's so cool. It's a great bridge. It freaked Mandy out a little but I loved it. 👍
Subscribed! I enjoyed watching you guys. Thank you for loving the Philippines. ❤️🇵🇭
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ We hope you enjoy our next Philippines videos. ❤️🇵🇭
Cool video guys, bit of rain never hurt. Lol. Amazing scenery! I remember that viewpoint.😊
I'm glad it took you back to your experience there. 🙏. It's impossible to avoid rain forever. It'll catch you up somewhere. 😂 We were pretty fortunate overall there considering. Awesome place. 🙏😍
Amazing place, stunning scenery. ❤ xx
Isn't it spectacular! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Susan 🙏😍
in baguio, batad,banaue and other parts of the mountain regions in and around the cordileras, people eat dogs...it's a delicacy for them.
Not only cordillerans eat dogs, kaya wag ka magturo and it's not their delicacy. It's the lowlanders who introduced this meat to them.
Thank you for sharing this information. I was trying to stick to a vegan or at least a vegetarian diet during our 28 days in the Philippines, following surgery.
Who told you that dog is a delicacy of the cordillerans? Do you think only cordillerans eat dogs?
dont spread fake news idiot!!!!!!!!
@@eagleofthenorthmacroexcell6843 The point is...they eat dogs, regardless of who or where...
excellent video, the 18 minutes play time is just right..
Thank you for the feedback, Robert. TH-cam seems to be pushing long form videos but we definitely aren't looking at making videos that are 40 minutes or more! We aim to get vlogs under 20 minutes, but will stretch to 25 minutes if we feel the information is interesting and entertaining 😁🤗 We're so pleased you enjoyed this one.
0:09 the boys splitting woods must have been in preparation for a wedding😊
@@UnknownownknU That's so interesting. Thank you for sharing this local knowledge.
It looks amazing, even in the rain! The pulley system is an invention that has no doubt saved a lot of "backs" imagine humping materials up & down those hills!
Take care and stay safe x 🙏🇬🇧
Hi Steve 👋. It certainly is pretty impressive how they set up those pulley systems. The ironic thing was I did my back in lifting up the rocks to help the guys out there. 😏. The moral of that story is.... Leave the hard labour to the young ones. 😊
@@FrugalTravellers 😂😂
Did you travel to any caves in the Mountain?
No, we didn't know there were any caves there. Thank you for sharing this information 🙏
@@FrugalTravellers , I am not sure about Banawe but Sagada have a lots of cave.
They even caves that is good enough for kids and fat person like me. And its a burial cave even. And you literally see carved coffins with actual bones while trekking the inside of the caves
😍😍😍
Thank you for the love 🤗😍♥️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@elmerdelgado5835 Thank you! You're so lovely ♥️😍
Thanks to you both now I know there are 2 rice terraces. I didn’t know and never heard of Batad until your previous video. I think Batad looks better than Banaue. They both look amazing though 💚. The furthest north I’ve been to is Baguio.
Fyi...the eggplant (torta) you ate is not vegetarian. They dip the eggplant in an egg mixture. The turon (fried banana) you had is one of Filipinos fav snack. You can buy turon with langka (jackfruit), ube (purple yam), and chocolate inside.
Lee and Mandy take care always and happy travels.
Hello Amalia, and thank you so much for your lovely comment and for the great information. Just so you know, I am now craving turon with jackfruit 😋😁
I was so excited thinking I'd finally found a vegan dish, so I appreciate knowing it was made with egg.
Batad, in my opinion, is way more beautiful and unspoiled that Banaue, which unfortunately has become a victim of its own popularity. It looks as they're building a road to Batad so I hate to think of what it will look like in 10 years. Now's the time to go, when it is still lovely and unspoilt.
Sending you best wishes and a big hug, from Lee and I 😍🤗
If you have a 20 peso bill, you can see the banaue rice terraces is on the design 😊
0:41 also, it is simply called a tricycle, the locals might get confused if you call it a "tuktuk" because that's a term mostly used in Thailand
That's so amazing. Thank you 🙏❤️
Good to know about the tricycle. 👍

It’s okay Mandy, I’m not fond of heights either!!😂 I love hillwalking but if there’s a dodgy cliff edge to manoeuvre I ain’t a happy camper🤣🤦🏼♀️ not to mind a shaky bridge🫢😂
@@michellel3348 Phew, I'm so pleased I'm not the only one, Michelle 🤗🤣 I'm working through my fears though as there's just so much I want to do that involves being up high... such as travelling by bus over mountain ranges in South America, and I'm determined to not let my mind get in the way xx😍🤗
@ Yeah I hear you on driving mountain ranges, we have a typical Irish one over the road from where I live, on the Cork and Kerry border called the Caha pass or the Conor pass, and I tell you, only for the little wall on the edge of the road, I wouldn’t drive it 🤣🤣 The views are amazing though🥰 You’ll be fine, and when you are travelling with someone like Lee who doesnt seem to mind it, that’ll boost your confidence 😊
@michellel3348 Wow... that road sounds both awesome and scary! I know what you mean... I look over at Lee, and if he was to look concerned I'd be absolutely bricking it 🤣
@ Haha I hear you😂
@michellel3348 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the people that live there since ancient times are head hunters. the igorots, the ifgugaos, the itnegs....the kalingas...
don't talk about cordillerans if you don't know nothing about them.
@@eagleofthenorthmacroexcell6843 The ritualistic sacrifice of what is universally referred to
as people’s “best friend” has been part of countless ethnic
rites since time immemorial. As an animal that has been
culturally understood as being the guardian to the gateways
of the land of the living and the dead, the dog in ritualistic
slaughter plays a crucial role in the spiritual interpretations
of the interplay between life and death.
As notions of influence move from colonial to more modern
cultural understandings, the ritual sacrifice of dogs has
moved also from areas of ceremonial worth to back-alley
Igorot eateries, as dog meat found itself being incorporated
into the Cordillera highland menu. Driven even more so
by influences of touristic consumption, the exoticization of
the Igorot has also seen the same treatment of their rituals,
which have now been redesigned to cater to the outsider’s
unknowing gaze. The Igorot in modern conventions become
privy to the creation of identifying tropes that further
distinguish them as the savage devourer of a friendly animal.
This paper focuses on describing how the rituality and
culture of dog sacrifice and consumption tend to shift in
meaning, purpose, and representations from the past to
present. The paper also explores how rituals involving
dogs and their sacrifice have been interpreted over time
and have become part of a modern consensus towards
trope and identity construction. Although discussing Igorot
traditions and rituals involving dogs, I do not go deep into
the technicalities and specificities of ritual dog sacrifice as
exhibited individually by varying ethnolinguistic groups
in the Cordillera. Instead, I discuss how such ritualistic
traits have converged and would eventually obtain varying
interpretations, leading to more modern apprehensions.

most of the rice terraces there have erroded and are neglected because the newer generations prefer to go to the big cities to find work rather than continue with the trtadition of planting rice on the terraces.
Yes, we'd read about the erosion with many of the rice terracesin Banaue, which is why it was so wonderful to see the Batad Rice terraces in such good condition, and still being worked by local families.
dont believe this eejit. it is only some of and not most
I’m with you Mandy! I hate bridges that sway and bounce. 🤢
Oh, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, Carolina 🤗😍
The viewpoint with I Love Banaue used to be nice with all the terraces seen when I went there in the 1990s. But the children preferred working in offices who have became educated so there's no one to maintain farming the lands of their families
Hello Victoria, and thank you so much for your comment. I am sure Banaue looked very different when my sister and I went there in 2014... I was surprised at the fact there were houses and shops all along the road. Batad was so quiet and beautiful in comparison, with local families still tending the rice terraces, but that might all change when the road goes in.
