I've seen several videos of the hanging coffins of Sagada. This is the first one that tells of the family beliefs and the history. Good job of connecting with the locals and giving us the story of these people.

[@fearlessandfar]

I'm so happy to have been connected with Chris. He really was the allstar of this series. So full of knowledge and he knew exactly what I wanted to capture.

True, i dont even know about the passing for gabay(guidance in tagalog).

This vlog is unique from other vlogs about Sagada I saw. Because, he interviewed locals a lot and brings historical perspective.

I know this video is 5 years old but I found your channel last week and have been hooked!! On this chilly gloomy day I’m binge watching and now can’t wait for the weather to clear up and start bringing my girls on hiking adventures like I did with my boys when they were younger. I love how you share the stories of so many different cultures.

[@AngryKittens]

Your guide (Andong?) saying "hello, baby, go to sleep" to the bird's nest was adorable. Haha

[@fearlessandfar]

I know right? I was a total surprise to me. I didn’t think he spoke any English. I gave him the GoPro and didn’t know he recorded that until I was watching all the video footage to make the edit. It made me laugh so much!

[@heidibugnosen3002]

Andong? Hahaha, didnt know that cris has another name andong.... He is our relative by affinity

Chris is the man! He knows his people and their story. And Andong with the nest is so cute. 😊

[@purpleheartoooo8020]

What a beautiful way to respect the dead. I have said for many years that I don’t want to be buried and treated the way that death is in western society. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

After exploring the world, and seeing how other cultures treat the dead, I can't say I'm too fond of our practices either.

[@aklanpinoy6717]

As a kid, I grew up surrounded with the Pacific Ocean in the Visayas, and mind you, in school our Social Studies class books with pictures where we learned about the Cordilleras Mountains, the Mountain Province, Banaue Rice Terraces, Baguio, the Ifugaos, even Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. This video reminds me of that time in class learning a lesson about Luzon where all these places are located. I remember those pictures showing lots of bright green leaves of trees, it looked cold and wet, and mysterious, that I may go there one day in the future. Thank you for sharing, it's an awesome video! The Filipino people sure appreciates this kind of thing, salamat! :)

Last week our company organized an outreach in buscalan, kalinga, without hesistation i volunteered. happy kid here, saw the beautiful mountains in mountain province and wow even the banawe rice terraces. Expectacular views. Sobrang ganda. Natupad pangarap ko.

By being respectful and asking permission to visit the ancestors of Lakay Wa-Ow, the Igorot spirits must have guided you to be safe. That seems dangerous walking barefoot in the cave. What an adventure! You're truly fearless! Thanks Mike. I've been waiting for this since you showed it in your Philippine adventures teaser. What a great end to your Sagada adventure. The spirits must be watching me too since I bought another shirt with the fearless logo! I feel very lucky!😀🐉

[@fearlessandfar]

Hoping it was worth the wait! I had to cut it down from 45 minutes. There was so much great video footage left over. Maybe I'll share it on Patreon? Send me a photo of you in the shirt when you get it! I don't even have one with the logo yet!

Superb!!! growing up in the cordillera region always remind me about this tradition with my grandparents and ancestors being Pagans. Majority of people practicing christianity now in the area but good to remind us also about the rituals and beliefs of our old folks. Living here in North America for many years, I was excited to show this to my kids to learn more about our culture. Thank you for sharing...

What do you think about the Pagan/Animist beliefs? Do you think that Christianity is better? Or should it be a mix of both?

[@m3cs4]

@@fearlessandfar I'm a christian myself and there is an advantages and benefits of Christianity when it was brought there such as establishment of hospitals/ clinics getting the scientific treatment and be healed. It did slow down / stopped tribal wars but also this fearless cordillerans helped prevented the Spanish era to take them until the Americans came. We take it more as a tradition that christianity and pagan practice are combined when there is occasion such as weddings where is being held in churches but the celebration involve some pagan practice in respect to our elders. There's a few elders remaining practicing this but the new generation is still doing it too like your friend Chris...Merry Christmas to you and God bless your travels.

[@samundoko]

I went to Sagada earlier this year and our guide mentioned about the pig pen and the old toilet practices in Sagada. Despite being assured that the story is true, I was a little skeptical. And here comes your legend of a guide, Chris - with the exact same story! I am now a believer! Chris is legit! Your adventure to search for the hanging coffins is epic! No wonder only a few people get to go where Chris took you - that is not for the usual traveller/tourist! I learned so much more from watching this. I think it was cool of Chris to pray and make an offering after your cave expedition to "Thank" and respect the spirits of his ancestors. Thanks for this vlog, Mike! Worth the wait. 👍😀🇵🇭🐉

[@fearlessandfar]

Hahaha what a funny story about the pig pen. I was a little skeptical too, but now we have more proof 😂 I'm already planning my trip back up north. Hoping I can meet up with Chris again too!

[@jaibay5877]

Me and my cousins was send to live with our grandfather for 2years when i was a teen, and its true about the pig pen he always joke about it when we do campfires. My ancestors are from next 2 village 20 minuites near sagada.

[@artz922]

About the pig pen is true, that was a common practice in our place because in early days there was no toilet so they just poof in the pig pen, so the pig eat your shit....hahaha, its awkward but it is true because i tried it when i was a little..

[@Hildegardenn]

This really touched my heart and made me proud of my Igorot roots. Oh how I miss my lolo (grandfather). He speaks in english when he's mad, and always tells us in his Igorot-English accent, "Use your initiative!" 😊 I'm happy that the world is seeing the beauty in our culture and traditions. P.S. Etag is actually really good when stir-fried with vegetables. 😊

[@kevin080592]

I miss my hometown in northern luzon.. the way the locals spoke my native dialect - ilocano is just music to my ears.. northern luzon is probably the underrated tourist area of the philippines as most tourists prefer to go to the visayas region for beach culture and island hopping! which is not a bad thing of course but northern luzon also has alot of hidden gems to explore such as this.. philippines is not just islands and beach culture though...we do have mountain culture too

Just in case anyone sees this, the native language in Sagada is not Ilocano, it is Kankana-ey. That's the language used by the guides in the video. However, people do use ilokano and a lot of words are similar.

[@moralesrdh]

My mom is indigenous from the jungles of the Philippines. My Lolo, her father was the medicine man. Good video, but please people do not do this on your own without blessings and guides. Trampling thru sacred resting spots without permission can give you bad fortune and karma. There are many entities and interdimensional beings in the PI jungle that can harm you even after you go home. And that's a whole other can of worms to remove those spirits or misfortune. I have seen this happen, even to locals! At least he got permission, did the prayers and gave offerings. This is a must.

[@brandonmoore2237]

I'm so glad you finally posted this video! I've been looking forward to it ever since you first teased this adventure back in the summer. Haha, Chris' story about the toilet in the pig pen was not exactly how I thought your journey to the cliffs would start, but I guess when you're on your way to do something wild and unexpected like visit the hanging coffins of people's ancestors, it's the perfect way to start out! And the way he talked about the passing the body back and forth truly blew my mind. It may sound corny, but I LOVE the world we live in. It may be far from perfect, but it's hard to not see the beauty in experiencing new things, new people, and new, unseen wonders, no matter how strange they may seem at first glance. The silence around the 14-minute mark is SO powerful. Wow. Love the shot of the burning cigarette in front of the coffin. Even the trek to get to the caves and back seems like quite the experience! I honestly could have watched an hour of this, Mike. Such a cool, and oddly beautiful adventure. It's content like this, and the way you handle it all so respectfully, that makes Fearless & Far stand out among the rest. You are a one of a kind, sir. Incredible, man!

[@fearlessandfar]

I almost cut the pigpen scene actually. When I first took all the best clips, this video was 60 minutes long. I had to cut and cut anc cut to get it down to 20. There's easily another good 15 minutes of content. I think I'll have to cut an Extras video for here or for Patreon. Happy I kept the pigs though, it made me laugh too hard 😂

The last time that i visited my village in 2012 after i left in 1979 is totally different, people no longer live in houses roofed with grass but made of Galvanized Iron sheets, wood or concrete, now with electricity and flushed toilets too.

I've noticed this about the Ifugao people. They're so laidback and soft-spoken (in contrast to most of us other Filipino ethnic groups who are talkative and loud). They have an almost surfer dude vibe to them. But then you remember that less than a century ago, these people were literal headhunters. 😆 Although now that I think of it, the animist Lumad people of the highlands of Mindanao have the same vibe. Maybe it's the cooler climate in the mountains, I guess.

If the Igorots in Sagada hanged the dead bodies of their ancestors in cliffs, Ibalois of Kabayan perform mummification by means of fire to their ancestors before putting them inside the caves.

The original plan was to go there actually! Then I changed it last minute to see Whang Od, and Sagada. When I go back, I will 100% see the mummies there. So many unbelievable things to see in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@jovytengay4869]

@@fearlessandfar Wooohhh!...I knew it!...that u know those fire mummies.

[@angelagayaso4731]

I never watch any foreign KZbinr who visit KABAYAN CAVE and feature the mummy... if in case you will go there you're the first I think☺

[@PTCannonFodder]

That was one heck of an adventure you had there! Extremely cool! I was at first apprehensive of seeing another hanging coffin video since it's a little too common after a while. But dude, you've proven me wrong! That was an extremely epic and informative video dedicated not only to the hanging coffins' history itself but also the culture and tradition that had been skimmed over a lot in the past. Those overgrown and tricky paths were indeed left to nature for so long and you've given us a glimpse of that hidden part of history. I wonder for how long had it been preserved from the current world? If it had been visited before in the past years, obviously it hadn't been by outsiders of that community. I've been spellbound by the whole series, specially this one! That trekking and spelunking got me giddy for an adventure! Truly never before seen!

[@fearlessandfar]

Thanks so much, and I'm happy you appreciated the adventure! I saw so many videos of the coffins already, and really thought there must be a bigger story, and a better experience. I was so happy to meet Chris, he really unlocked this special experience for me. I asked him if he knew of any more sites, and he went to ask villages elders for me. It turned out great. Some of those places people haven't been in 10 years I swear. I was very powerful being there. I appreciate this beautiful comment, thanks again!

[@kitscodod6272]

The pig pen is really true! Thanks for featuring our very own Cordillera. I am from the Mountain Province, so I could really relate to this vlog! I just so miss my village! seeing this makes me miss it more!

[@primapauline7897]

The cooolest guide!! Welcome to sagada indeed! The way to the coffins was out of this world - there wasnt even a trail! It is a normal thing among the cordillerans to greet the spirits and invite them for something (eat, drink or for your case, have a smoke) and ask permission to stay and roam around the place Even now when we visit our departed loved ones, we bring gin and cigars - my grandparents loved to drink and smoke 😀

[@fearlessandfar]

Hahah we had to make the trail 😂 No one had been there in a long time! Chris was a legend. He really made this series special.

[@tinmiles1285]

A vlog and with a documentary feels... Ang galing!

[@TheTweetkiss]

Nice ! Just like watching a travel documentary on TV. The sexy "Shower in the Jungle" video is yet to be released, can't wait !

[@fearlessandfar]

Hahaha SHHHHH ROXY! That was a secret mistake blooper. I don't think I can post it again 😂

[@TheRavenhairedbeauty]

This is awesome, I would rather go where no one goes, feels special

[@fearlessandfar]

If you go where no one else does, you get a real appreciation for being there.

[@kristinbig4415]

Oh men you got me homesick. I’m from Sagada so coming across this content really got me excited. Btw Chris’ story about using rocks as wipes is definitely true. My dad told me a story of how one of his cousins mischievously smudged chilies on one of the elders’ rock😂

[@wahleedtaula2097]

This is really something interesting like any of your PH vlogs as always.

[@fearlessandfar]

Thank you 🙌🏻Always trying to show you all something new

[@rutchielabaro7184]

Im from South Cotabato, Mindanao and never had the chance to visit this place. I heard stories about hanging coffins and seen photos of it, but through your videos I felt like I had been there, it was so nice and very informative and bravo to your guide. ☺️ New subscriber here and I've been watching your videos since yesterday,its all awesome. You are truely fearless. Amping mikmik💕

Thanks so much Cita!

[@vincecruz3415]

Wow! Never heard that story behind the hanging coffins! It's really interesting to know the cultures of other people. Something that's out of your belief.

[@fearlessandfar]

The story of the mummies is pretty crazy right?

[@vincecruz3415]

Fearless & Far yup, and I hope they continue to pass on the story to younger generations so it will not be forgotten

[@tikbuoybarmaria3218]

Scary but very unique and interesting culture indeed!!

[@fearlessandfar]

So unique! That mummy story is so incredible

[@felizacamba7252]

Fearless & Far yes! You must go and see the mummies in Kabayan, Benguet, you will have 2 adventures at a time climbing also Mount Pulag, the second highest mountain in the Philippines

[@noblewarrior1887]

Just watch this video today and found it very interesting and educational. Almost like a nat geo documentary. Congrats for this great content mike. Your sagada "series" including this one is very good. No wonder it got a lot of views.

[@fearlessandfar]

Not yet! Should I go?

[@igorotak4524]

@@fearlessandfar you should😊, Bontoc is like the city of that province. But there is also a lot of hidden gems within the Cordillera Region. Plus you should also learn about the headhunters...😶😊

..wow! i remembered my childhood days watching this! done the climbing, roping, caving, jumping, hiking, etc..growing up in eastern visayas..and i also saw those hanging coffins in Northern luzon!

You're always amazing how you present your video. Very informative and interesting. How you interact with people, your openness how you want to learn different cultures. Looking foward on your next feature.

Thank you so much Jenny. I try to show a pure version of what I experience for you all here on Fearless & Far

[@jasminmarcos5222]

That bartering between Chris and the auntie puts a huge smile on my face😊. Reminds me of my younger days back home.

[@AngryKittens]

I'm glad this isn't part of the regular tourist trail, and how the locals are protecting it. That coffin from 1939 is just mind-blowing.

[@fearlessandfar]

I didn't realize until I was reading it on camera. It's powerful being there with all those old bones 💀
