Album Info:

The Tagtag ritual is performed when the rice plant is knee-high tall. Purpose: to ward off rats, pests and capture evil vibrations and lock them in the red leaves that adorn their bodies. After the ritual, into the river the leaves are thrown along with the bad vibes caught during the ritual, thus, ensuring good harvest.

    • Mary Ann, Congratulations! Your photo instinct and artist's eye is a combination that enabled you to compose this wonderful shot. Indeed, the Philippine mountain province rice terraces is the 8th wonder of the world. The Ifugao tribes' culture has been intact for thousands of years and you have helped showcase their rites for the world to see. For that, the Philippines and the Filipinos owe you a debt of gratitude. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful album and the rest of the other tribes' album. God Bless my friend, Ding
