HISTORY OF BANAUE

The name Banaue derives from the call of the local bird, which
sounded like "Bannawor". The pronunciation evolved into "Banaue"
after tears of successive Spanish, American, and Japanese
occupation. Banaue was designated a municipality in 1963 and has
since become one of Luzon's prime destinations.

Banaue is a town in the Central Cordillera Mountain


Range. This province is famous for the Rice Terraces of
the Philippine Cordilleras that were inscribed on the
UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995, the first-ever
property to be included in the cultural landscape
category of the World Heritage List.

TRIBE OF BANAUE
The Ifugao people are an indigenous ethnic group
living in the mountainous northern part of Luzon, the
largest island in the Philippines. They are known for
their agricultural skills, particularly the construction of
the Banaue Rice Terraces, which were built over 2,000
years ago using stone and mud walls. The terraces are
a remarkable example of ancient engineering and
reflect the sustainable farming practices of the Ifugao
people.

CULTURE OF BANAUE
The Ifugao people have preserved many traditional practices,
including rituals and ceremonies that are closely tied to their
agricultural cycles. Rituals such as the Imbayah and the Hudhud
epic chants are performed during important occasions and
celebrations.
Ifugao society is organized around a kinship system,
with extended families forming the basic social unit.
Clans are significant, and social structures often
revolve around familial ties. Elders play a crucial role in
decision-making and are respected for their wisdom.

CLOTHES OF BANAUE
Tolge, the traditional attire of Ifugao women, embodies a
profound connection to culture and craftsmanship.
Comprising intricately woven garments sourced from local
materials, Tolge features a skirt, “lufid,” woven with geometric
patterns and secured by a belt. The accompanying blouse,
“ginuttung,” is adorned with delicate embroidery, reflecting
the skilled artistry of the Ifugao people.

The “wanno” or G-string holds cultural significance as a traditional


garment worn by Ifugao men, specifically within the Ifugao ethnic
group in the Philippines. This attire is characterized by a narrow
strip of fabric, often intricately woven, worn around the waist.
