Livelihood
The Banaue Rice Terraces, often called the 8th
Wonder of the World, has been known to be a
product of handiwork, carved by the hand, by the
natives' ancestors around 2,000 years ago, and
they are planting rice for daily sustenance. But it
is not only by continuing to plant rice there, but
also by creating some wood carvings,
handicrafts, for sale to tourists, who come over to
appreciate the famed Banaue Rice Terraces.

Robert Duyugen rides his four-wheel

wooden scooter in a race, where he has
been a consistent champion. Duyugen and
his fellow Banaue Rice Terraces farmers
established the native scooter race in the
1990s as part of the town fiesta to promote
the handicraft among the locals of Ifugao
and visiting tourists.

Ifugao women do some woodcarving,

weaving, and other handicrafts while they
are not busy planting indigenous 'tinawon'
rice on the rice terraces on the mountains of
Banaue town. The handicrafts augment
their families' income while they continue to

plant rice at the terraces, which are part of their culture, and continue to awe thousands
of tourists from across the globe all year round.

“Traditionally, nagwe-weave lang ang Ifugao pag off season sa terraces. The same way
now sa karamihan, nag we-weave lang sila pag wala silang trabaho sa bukid (The
Ifugaos only do weaving during the rice planting off season and when they are done
with their work in the field),” Martin notes.
