farming of camote. They are famous for their Banaue Rice Terraces, which became one
of the main tourist attractions in the country.For the local population, rice is the primary
subsistence crop and the cornerstone of daily life. These elaborate rice terraces are
cultivated by the Ifugao people in the mountains of northern Luzon, in the Philippines

among all ethnic groups in the mountain province for their narrative literature such as the
hudhud, an epic dealing with hero ancestors sung in a poetic manner.

terraces that were carved into the mountains of Banaue, Ifugao, in the

called the "Eighth Wonder of the World".
