Punnuk Festival（続き）

　Magangdang araw po!

　前回、イフガオ・フンドゥアンで行われたPunnuk Festivalの前夜祭について書きました。

　今回はいよいよ祭り当日の様子について書きたいと思います^^♪

　午前９時ごろ、ハパオ村の中心に、村の人々が集まってきました。

　多くの人はイフガオの伝統衣装を身にまとっています。

　私もガイドさんにお借りした伝統衣装を着させてもらいました♡♡

　上の服もほんとはあるんですが、用意が間に合わなかったらしく今回はお預けでした💦

　スカート、頭に着けているビーズ、ネックレスが、実際にこの地域で使われているものです。

　衣装に着替えたら、村の皆で男女別の列に並び、歩いて１時間ほどかけて、祭りが行われる川まで向かいます。

　「Punnuk！」と掛け声を上げ、右手に持っている赤い葉を上下に振りながら歩きます。私も見よう見まねで一緒に歩きました💦

　Punnuk Festivalは、フンドゥアン内の３つの村が中心にある川に集まってきて行われます。

　手前に見えている列はハパオ村から一緒に歩いてきた列で、奥に小さく見える列は別の村から来ている列です。

　奥には世界遺産の棚田が見えていてとてもきれいですね✨

　しかし列はどんどん進むので、ゆっくり見ている暇はほとんどありません（笑）

　気温は山岳地域にしては少し暑く、汗だくになりながら１時間ほど歩いて、ようやく祭りの会場となる場所に到着しました。

　祭りでは、３つの村が対抗して、大きな木を使った綱引きのような競技が行われ、この戦いに勝った村が来年の豊作を約束されるという意味合いを持つのだそう。しかしそれ以上に、今年の収穫期の出来を喜び、次の田植えの時期までは大きな仕事がないという喜びを表す楽しいお祭りでもあります。

　祭りの様子。

　手前側はHapao、奥の左側はBa-an、右側はNungulunanという村から来た人々。

　とんでもない人手でごった返していて、とても肉眼で試合の様子を見れるものではありませんでした（笑）

　試合は各村が２回ずつくらい対戦するように構成され、全体で１時間ほど続きました。

　ハパオはほぼ全敗していました、、が、そんなことは関係なくて、運動会のようなお祭りの雰囲気がとにかく楽しかったです。

　幸運にも収穫期のお祭りを見ることができ、収穫期がこの地域の人々にとって１年で１万幸せな時期であること、またそれほど稲作がこの地域にとって重要な生活の一部であることがよくわかり、イフガオの文化についてより理解を深めることができました。😊

Hapao Philippines

[elfilibusterismo]

Commercial interests have spurred the growth of local crafts. When Philippine baskets came into vogue two decades ago, basket-makers in the region were inspired to double their production and many, like the basket-makers of Abra, eventually developed new designs and weaving techniques. Textile production also increased, this we can see in the thriving textile industries of Paoay in Ilocos Norte, Narvacan in Ilocos Sur, and Bangar in La Union. The increasing popularity of Vigan jars (burnay) has also spurred the development of new forms. On the other hand, the commercialization of crafts has its own damaging effects on the tradition. This is dramatically seen, for example, in the village of Hapao where one can find the best woodcarvers in Ifugao. Hapao carvers used to produce many of the finest specimens of traditional sculpture. Now many of them are preoccupied with the production of carvings for export and tourism — carvings of Buddhas, lions, and the like, which have no connection whatsoever to the requirements of their culture.

Hier ein Blick auf die Reisterassen von Hapao. In diese Tal mussten wir.

P.S. Eigentlich hatte ich bei Beginn meiner Reise gedacht, ich packe die Jacke erst in Frankfurt wieder aus. Aber in den Bergen war es dann doch recht kühl.

The Majestic Mountain

Mt. Napulauan Back Trail "Million-Dollar Mountain"

Hungduan, Ifugao

Major jump-offs: Poblacion and Brgy. Hapao, Hungduan

Specs: Major climb, Difficulty 7/9,

Features : Mossy Forest

Limatik is always present here.

Mt. Napulauan located in the municipality of Hungduan, and towering at 2,642 MASL, Mt. Napulauan, or Napulawan as the locals spell it (either way is correct), is the country’s 15th highest mountain in the Philippines.

The Mt. Napaluauan was trail the combination of all assault trails I hike so far this is one the most unpredictable mountain so far. It was 12 pm in the afternoon the Sun was so bright and clear but unfortunately rain pours. The trail going to the campsite literally cardiac assault. “ Keep on asking myself hanggang kelan to assault na to “

It also well-known mountain in Hungduan, Ifugao is also shrouded in a mystique that makes it more enticing for adventurous tourists. The locals believe that the summit of the mountain is enchanted and protected by fairies. According to the one website I read Mt. Napulauan peak has served as refuge for both defenders of Philippine soil and invaders from the imperial Japanese army. General Emilio Aguinaldo, who fought to free the Philippines from Spanish and American colonizers, sheltered his troops in the mountain's mossy forest. The hidden valleys of this majestic mountain were also used by General Tomoyuki Yamashita, a Japanese General who was infamous as the "Tiger of Malaya." General Yamashita used the region for the last stand against the Filipino and American forces. Rumors also suggest that the Japanese general buried vast amounts of plunder treasure in the surrounding area.

It was called as Million dollar Mountain dahil sa bundok daw na ito ang huling kuta ni Gen. Yamashita bago matapos ang gera at sinasabing dito din nakatago ang mga kayamanan nya. Madami ding butas sa trail.Malalalim daw iyon dahil doon nagtatago ang mga tao noon para hindi makita ng mga Sundalong Hapon.

The mossy forest here can be also compared to the Harry Potter forbidden forest well it maybe not look like the mossy forest of Mt. Kamamasam but it's one of the most beautiful mossy forest so far.

Mt. Napulauan, as with other mountains in the Philippines, proved to have some unseen supernatural forces lurking within. I had a very uncanny feeling. Like what “ bakit parang kanina galing na kami dito tapos nandito na naman kami. I also saw a lady with a white dress I keep on pretending that I didn’t see her. I just ask my friend to keep going, but the trail like a never ending assault. When the rain pours we started feels the cold ambiance it was cold night not like my overnight in Mt. Pulag and Mt. kamamasam so far Mt. Napulauan was the coldest. It was nearing dark when we burst out of the forest and into the false campsite. Every time we saw something that has a ‘Liwanag” we always thought that it was the campsite. After 6 hours of trekking finally we reached the campsite with trembling due of cold weather. Me and kuya Kel decided to take a nap. But when we go outside to take the dinner, I saw her again the lady in white at first I thought it was my co- hiker because she wearing a white shirt that time. But I keep I got confused why the hell she is on the other side of out the tent when basically I was dead end and there no trail. I just keep on praying. After we ate, we decided to sleep. Then I think it was 2:45 am I heard a footstep outside our tent which is on the side where I saw the Lady in white. I just pray in silence so that I cannot disturb my co- hikers. It was an intense and scary experience.

The photogenic view paid off very well for the hardships of the day before. We may not see the sun rise, but Mt. Napuluan give us clearing which is rare. I’m going to use lesser words to describe the magnificent beauty we saw. It was "Magical".

At 10.15am we decided to go back to the jump off. So far hindi pa din tumigil yun ulan sobrang dulas ng daan. But thank you nakababa kami with my team ng 1.15pm. And waiting for the others na lang.

This mountain gives me a dose of unexplainable feeling. I really want to go back here witness the sunrise and the most beautiful clearing. See you soon Amica Mea 💕💕💕💕

Ang layunin ng blog na ito ay hikayatin ang mga mambabasa na magustuhan ang Ifugao. Alam nating lahat na dito matatagpuan ang Hagdan-hagdang Palayan o mas kilala bilang Banaue Rice Terraces. Ngunit ang hindi alam ng lahat ay marami pang rice terraces bukod dito. Halimbawa na rito ang Batad, Hapao, at Hungduan Rice Terraces.

Kung mayaman ang Ifugao sa lupa't taniman, ganoon din naman sila kayaman pagdating sa mga panitikan. Isang epiko rin ang sumikat mula sa probinsya na tinatawag na Hudhud: Ang Kuwento ni Aliguyon. Sinasabi nitong ang lahat ng tao ay magkakapatid sa kabila ng pagkakaiba sa wika, sa ugali, at sa pananampalataya. Ito'y nagsimula kay Aliguyon na isang mandirigmang Ipugaw, na anak ni Antalan. Ikinintal ni Antalan sa isip at damdamin ng anak ang katapangan at kagitingan ng loob. Talagang inihanda ng ama si Aliguyon upang maipaghiganti siya ng anak sa matagal na niyang kaaway, kay Pangaiwan ng kabilang nayon.

Subalit hindi si Pangaiwan ang natagpuan kundi si Dinoyagan, ang anak na lalaki nito. Mahusay din siyang mandirigma, at tulad ni Aliguyon, inihanda rin siya ng kanyang ama sa pakikipaglaban upang maipaghiganti siya ng anak sa kalaban niyang si Antalan.

Araw-araw ay nagpatuloy ang kanilang laban hanggang sa ito’y inabot ng linggo, ng buwan. Kung saan-saan sila nakarating. Nagpalipat-lipat ng pook, palundag-lundag, patalun-talon sa mga taniman.

Namumunga na ang mga palay na nagsisimula pa lamang sumibol nang simulan nila ang labanan. Inabot ng taon hanggang sa sila’y lubusang huminto ng pakuluan ng sibat. Walang nasugatan sa kanila. Walang natalo.

Naglapit ang dalawang mandirigma. Nagyakap at nagkamayan, tanda ng pagkakaibigan at pagkakapatiran. Dakila si Aliguyon. Dakila si Dinoyagan. Ipinangako nilang sa oras ding iyon na lilimutin na ang alitan ng kanilang ama. Nagdiwang ang lahat.

Lalong nagkalapit ang damdamin ng dalawang mandirigma nang mapangasawa si Aliguyon si Bugan, ang kapatid ni Dinoyagan at nang maging kabiyak ng dibdib ni Dinoyagan ang kapatid ni Aliguyon. Nanirahan sila sa kani-kanilang nayon. Doon sila namuhay nang maligaya. Doon lumaki ang kani-kanilang mga supling.

Sa kani-kanilang nayon, tinuruan nina Aliguyon at Dinoyagan ang mga tao tungkol sa marangal na pamumuhay, karangalan, at katapangan ng mga mandirigma, at pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit sa Inang Bayan. Kahit na sila’y pumanaw, binuhay ng mga Ipugaw ang kanilang kadakilaan. Inaawit ang kanilang katapangan. Hindi mawawala sa puso at kasaysayan ng mga Ipugaw ang kagitingan ng dalawang mandirigma. Nagpasalin-salin sa mga lahi ng Ipugaw, ng mga Pilipino ang dakilang pamana ng mga dakilang mandirigma.

Ito ay ang buod ng Hudhud, at sa pamamagitan ng isang epiko ay para na rin tayong nakapunta sa Ifugao. Sana sa blog na ito ay may natutunan kayo.
