14 Interesting Facts About The Igorot ♥️👦

1. The Igorot inhabit the Cordillera mountain range in northern Luzon, Philippines.

2. They are not a single, unified group but rather a collection of diverse ethnolinguistic groups, each with its own distinct language, customs, and traditions.

3. Major groups include the Ifugao, Bontoc, Kalinga, Ifugao, Kankanaey, and Ibaloi.

4. The Igorot are renowned for their ingenious rice terraces carved into the mountainsides, particularly those built by the Ifugao.

5. Traditionally, the Igorot practice a native religion often referred to as animism, where they believe that spirits inhabit the natural world and play a role in their lives.

6. They have a rich tradition of weaving and metalworking, including the crafting of intricate textiles and metal implements.

7. They hold complex rituals and ceremonies, often led by tribal leaders, to appease spirits and celebrate important life events.

8. The Igorot traditionally have a communal system of labor sharing and social support.

9. The term "Igorot" is derived from the Tagalog word "golot," meaning "mountain range," and was used by the Spanish to refer to the various mountain tribes.

10. During the Spanish colonial period, the Igorot resisted Spanish attempts at conquest and conversion, maintaining their traditional way of life.

11. The term "Igorot" was sometimes used negatively during the colonial era, but today it is more widely recognized as a term for the indigenous people of the Cordilleras.

12. The Igorot are known for their strong sense of community and their determination to protect their ancestral lands and culture.

13. Among the Igorot foods is the delicious pinikpikan. Pinikpikan is one way of cooking native or cultured chicken added with spices and vegetables such as sayote and pechay. The chicken is battered on its wings, neck and head. In this way, the meat will be thickened by the blood and will become tasty.

14. Their languages belong to the northern Luzon subgroup of Philippine languages, which in turn belongs to the Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) family. A 2014 genetic study has found that the Kankanaey (an Igorot subgroup from Mountain Province), and by extension other indigenous Cordillera groups, descend almost entirely from the ancient Austronesian expansion originating in Taiwan around 3000-2000 BCE.

Want to Bury a Container? Don't Skip These CRITICAL Steps.

Many people ask if you can just bury a shipping container. The answer is no, and these photos show why proper preparation is everything. Before any dirt goes back in the hole, the container must be protected.

Here, you see the crucial step of applying rigid foam insulation panels to the entire exterior. Steel is an excellent thermal conductor, so without this insulation layer, the cold earth would turn the interior into a damp, freezing condensation pit. This thermal break is what makes the space habitable and energy-efficient. Proper engineering like this is the difference between a successful long-term shelter and a failed, rusty box.

JACK MA, one of the richest man in China said 👇👇👇

"If you put bananas and money in front of monkeys, the monkeys will choose the bananas because they don’t know that money can buy many bananas.

In fact, if you offer WORK and BUSINESS to people, they will choose to WORK because most people don’t know that a BUSINESS can generate more MONEY than a salary.

One of the reasons why the poor are poor is because...👇

🤷‍♂️-- They spend a lot of time in school, and what they learn in school is to work for a salary instead of working for themselves.

🤷‍♂️ -- They are not trained to recognize business opportunities.

🤷‍♂️-- Profits are better than salaries because salaries can allow you to make a living, but profits can generate you a fortune."

This image shows the path of the Sun across the sky during three key times of the year: the summer solstice, equinox, and winter solstice. The Sun’s position is marked at solar noon for each event, reaching different heights—highest in summer, mid-level at the equinox, and lowest in winter. It also illustrates where the Sun sets on each of these days, with azimuth angles shifting from about 300° (WNW) in summer to 270° (W) at the equinox and 240° (WSW) in winter. The graphic highlights how both the Sun’s arc and its setting point change with the seasons.

“Never Paint a Turtle's Shell”

Painting a turtle's shell isn't harmless; it's a silent form of cruelty. Its shell is alive, full of nerves and blood vessels. Through it, it breathes, regulates its temperature, and senses. Covering it with paint blocks its ability to absorb sunlight, essential for its metabolism and bone development. It also prevents it from naturally eliminating bacteria and fungi. Many die slowly from infections or poisoning. It's not art. It's suffering. And often, a torture that ends in silence.

In Japan, it’s perfectly ordinary to see people asleep on the train — heads gently nodding, bags resting untouched in their laps, eyes closed not out of carelessness, but quiet trust.

It’s not just about catching a moment of rest after long hours of work. It speaks to something deeper — the comfort of living in a place where crime is rare, where you can drift off surrounded by strangers… and still wake up with your belongings, your dignity, your peace intact.

In many places, falling asleep in public feels risky — a small act of vulnerability you can’t afford. But here, it’s different. Here, even the crowded trains hum with a kind of unspoken safety.

Because when people feel safe… they relax. Their guard softens. And sometimes, that trust looks as simple — and as beautiful — as a nap on a train.
