as a direct discendant of the ifugaos also known as igorots that built this. its amazing how our tradition of being in hamony with nature still carries on. i used to remember my great grandfather tells of the techniques of how to control nature for the benefit of all by using innovation, told us an ancient principles of retaining walls, water hydralics over night fires after dinner. i guess to this day that would be our class room on our course lessons in ancient engineering being handed down to us orally. which i understand now was the case for miliniums past. during the day we have our practical instruction how to create a retaining wall made from stones that could withstand floods and earthquakes. called kabite how we used hallowed bamboos to make water pipes and how it is used for pumping water from one mountain to another the same hydarulic principle the romans used on thier aquaduct systems. grandpa alos taught us how to use water in a bamboo pipe as a leveler, very accurate in leveling those tarraces against an un-even terrain. i guess an ancinet from of laser leveler. as afforsaid mentioned our igorot tradition of using nature to better our fellow man i have carried on the tradition more to the 20th century nature, by innovation on solar and wind energy. interestingly enough when my brother and i built our first 100mw solar farm in canada there was an incident where we lost of laser level so we relied on grand fathers lessons in using a garden hose filled with water to level the solar panels over a 1000m distance. we were off by 1mm of an inch. ima now retired from my solar factory and devote my time on my research on renewbale energy plus my research about how the igorots origins and and how we maintained this eco-system and global wonder for so long.

I visit Batad at least twice a year since I decided to be home for good here in Ifugao. Batad provides me a breather from my work at the capital town of Ifugao. If you love trekking or tramping, you might want to try the Awan Igid - Pula - Cambulo - Batad route. The scenery at every turn is awesome. You may also proceed to Bangaan from Batad via Anaba. There are efficient tour guides that you can request at the Tourism Office at the central district in Banaue.

I used to hike these mountains when i was a child. Even at night time we sometimes had to walk those narrow pathways using torched chopped pine trees as our light along the way. Watching this brought tears to my eyes and a longing that can't be satisfied because much has been changed. I hope our politicians will always preserve its natural state as natural as it was since its discovery. It fell down as the 8th wonder of the world because of so many sad factors.

From our point of view, it seems paradisiacal; but for them, in addition, how much effort means to till those lands It gives the impression that they join in cooperatives because everything is well used.
