Life in the Mountains of the Philippines (The Cordilleras)

[@Mr_C_mlbb]

I am a naga tribe from northeast india. I found this video randomly and im surprised to see we share a lot of similarities. From landscapes to the facial structure. The tradition, and all those shawl, wine making process.. Much love to the people out there🫶🏻❤️

[@ramilodan]

yup we have similarities, definitely came from the same ancestry, we were headhunters also before 😊

[@sharoncumaldi5414]

We are brothers

[@SlimJim3082]

At the 00:30 mark, they're also eating something that looks like tamul 😅😅

[@deaypalangdao4654]

we have same dna same with the native of taiwan

[@AngryKittens]

It's kind of amazing how Cordillerans today are some of the chillest people on the planet. Considering their past as constantly-warring tribes less than a century ago. They have the serenity of continuity of culture. Unlike us lowlanders.

[@infjstardust4357]

my ancestors were great head hunters until Christianity arrived in our tribal land and peace was restored and people were civilized..

[@jethrosab-it7605]

It's because they had to find peace among themselves especially since they had a common enemy for hundreds of years and they could not have remained free to preserve the traditions, had they sought to kill each other. Tribal wars probably have started only when the common enemies have left. Some tribal wars were caused by sides between those who welcomed the Americans, those who didn't, those who have given refuge to criminals, and the conflict which the current generation know nothing of and just believe another is an enemy.

FEATR is improving overtime, this documentary showcases how this channel can be compared to an actual high production show. Kudos to the producers and the whole team! You guys deserve to be known worldwide. Thank you for showing the PH’s different cultures.

[@btstxt0705]

This made me cry. Bless these hardworking people who deserves all recognition and respect.

I appreciate this content SO much. I have never been to the motherland. My mom has not been since she left in 86. My dad has visited a few times solo but not since the early 2000s. These segments help me see the country that 75% of my family is from- even if it is not the same areas all the time and it makes me so happy 💜

Jealous ? Not a long ago in Baguio, before i started college , i made visits with my family relatives an old woman , i sat with outside a store while waiting for my aunt shopping, told me after asking where i am from that we should change from the old days of uncivilized ways , i didn't bother to reply just smiled , but then what she said was insulting , just because ifugaos were once are headhunters it doesn't mean we are still living in the past - buti na lang mas disciplinado kami dahil sa kung paano kami pinalaki ng may respeto at mahirap na trabaho habang lumalaki , di katulad ngayon ang mga bata ngayon dahil lahat meron na at mahal na magkaroon ng pera ,daming vices , iba na pag uugali lalo na sa mga dating walang wala , yumayaman ng konti dahil sa pera , nakatuntong na sa mataas na kalabaw

[@kliyow]

sobrang ganda nitong content na ito. the narration, the descriptive words used. nakakaenganyo makinig at manuod.

[@Tempe3]

you know that your guide is a northern local when they switch from Filipino "Tagalog" to English just to complete the translation 😉... it's been years since I last went home to Sagada and watching this makes me feel so nostalgic... it reminded me of the time where we got to actually enjoy childhood in the province. where we ran around the fields playing tag, took turns with the 'bayo' - pounding the unmilled rice to show of that even a tiny city girl can hold on to the heavy wood, and swam in the clean river... this documentary brings back too many memories and i'm truly grateful to FEATR for what you do...

[@athenstar10]

What does that mean? I think the guide was talking to another Filipino so it's pretty nonsense to speak in full English.

[@papajupri1070]

@@athenstar10 I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for but most of us highlanders were first taught to communicate in English and in our mother tongue. We only learned to speak Filipino in school.

[@Cooked-with-Love]

What a lovely community! Was surprised to see that they also consume betel leaf (what is popularly known as 'Paan' in India).. And the lovely old couple 💜

[@AngryKittens]

Fun fact: areca nuts and betel leaves were ORIGINALLY from the Philippines (where the areca nut is native). The oldest evidence of betel leaf and areca nut chewing is found in archaeological sites in the Philippines, dated to around 5,000 years ago. They spread with Austronesian migrations and maritime trade to New Guinea, other parts of Southeast Asia, southern China, and finally to Dravidian-speakers in Sri Lanka and southern India at around 3,500 years ago, which then spread to the rest of India less than 2000 years ago. It was formerly widespread in the Philippines. But started disappearing around a century ago when it was replaced with tobacco. It only survives among isolated highland groups like the Cordillerans, and among Muslim Filipinos in the southernmost island chains.

[@princemimiw1]

Cordilleran people has a lot similarities with the Nagaland people in India.

[@papajupri1070]

we call it "momma/mamah"

[@AlfredoCalawa]

The Cordillera region composed of 6 Provinces and one city, the City of Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines. We Cordillerans are known as Igorots. The natives of the Cordillera came from north India. The Nagas of Nagaland are the immediate brothers of the Cordillerans. And the Kalinggas came came from West Bengal, India.
