Native Apache Indians also wear the loin cloth (bahag) if you look at Native Americans costumes.

[Bwahahahahahakangina]

When you look at the costumes and the dance rituals, it resembles native american indians particularly The Navajo indians. Try researching on the costumes of Native Navajo Indians (Southwestern part of the US like Arizona, New Mexico, etc). There are some Navajo Indian tribes in the Northwestern part of North America where they originally came from and migrated south. I remember buying a poncho in Baguio and even the woven blankets that resemble Navajo clothes in the US.

How can i keep the pot on my head while i am dancing? I wanted to do this dance here in the US. . . oh my, i need to learn all of these. I am an Igorot in blood but grew up in the south. I love my heritage. I have to learn more on this dance. I love it.

[paologwapoako]

thoroughly enjoyed this performance.. i give you folks two thumbs up for such fantastic display of culture. i think it is important to keep ones heritage alive and not get diluted as to some of the mentality of some people out there and loose on what they really come from...

[viarboleda]

mayat. ang galing talaga ng mga taga-Lubuagan. I miss this place already.

@leeroi1: they celebrate their foundation day every August 18th.

fabulous. I wanna see this festival!

[aznpnoiboiperson]

J Stalin is a biter. Filipinos were widdit ages ago. My great great great lolo was doing this waay before the hyphy movement.

[vic2rlntin]

such a splendid thing to see real villagers performing the dance unaltered , a showcase of true culture on its grassroots. many of this dances were bastardize because they are ignorant of the implications it creates if these cultures were presented in ill and unbecoming manner. kudos to the organizers of the festival and thanx for upLOADING.

[jeanetteluv]

wow..wow... finally i saw u on the video...i am proud to be from this place..lubuagan....long live...

[OfficialWhyRock722]

nice. ei anyone knows where I can get folk music somewhat for this? I mean kasi we'll be performing this dance too. Any suggestions of where I can get a kind of instrumental for this?

[chumasi]

if you are in baguio you can visit Lin-awa center for Culture and Arts at C-203 Lopez Building, Session Road, Baguio City

[OfficialWhyRock722]

amazing\

[YamiChan31]

i noticed, how many video cams were set?

[igorotna]

4 but I must admit the videographers were naive about getting near. A costly mistake. Intimate shots are far better.

[YamiChan31]

agree :DD hehe

[mdub2000]

but sometimes its nice to see the footwork too so i dont mind the far shots

[talkshitcated]

i been to lubuagan and i love the place and the people there most specialy the family SACLAG. Knowing one of the national living treasure is a fulfillment to me!!! Go on LUBUAGAN!

[igorotna]

I was perplexed too. I guess it was an honest mistake. Kadangyan siguro, mabalin pay.

[sicilianme]

Really? There are ROYALTIES IN LUBUAGAN? That's news. Royal blood in Lubuagan...hmmmnnn...

[sicilianme]

superb performance.
