The Green Reunion: Healing Bonds With Plant Power:

I never anticipated that the grand residence just a stone’s throw from our apartment would become the setting for a heartfelt reunion of two best friends and classmates who had lost touch.

It fills me with joy to facilitate their reconnection as I pursue my own purpose: to nurture and reveal the restorative and aesthetic powers of plants for our well-being.

I love plants and their stem cells, I share how they can heal and beautify our body.Miira Cell Plus ( Green Apple Stem Cell Therapy)

So, I did a thing; basically, I took most of the Rangers who were played by Filipino actors ( and extra Rangers who weren't played by Filipino actors but I also wanted to include ) and basically designated which ethnolinguistic backgrounds and provinces would they be from if they were Filipino in canon ( and if they were born there or not ). Seven of the Rangers in this edit were played by actors of Filipino descent [ Alyssa, Madison, Rose, Theo, Emma, Brody, and Ollie ( the actors of Emma, Brody, and Ollie are mixed-race ) ]; the ethnicities I gave them are not based off the ethnolinguistic backgrounds of the actors' families, for I did not want to pry on their backgrounds because that's private information, so these are my own ideas. Two of them aren't played by Filipino actors, however, their characters are siblings of the characters who were played by Filipino actors [ Vida and Aiden/Levi ]. As for Kendall? Honestly, that's just pure projection; Kendall isn't played by a Filipino actress but I wanted to make Kendall be from the same ethnolinguistic backgrounds as I am because..... look, she's my favorite— I'm legitimately her IRL— and I have the power to, okay?!

List of my headcanoned ethnolinguistic backgrounds + provinces under the cut if you need them. Again, these are not canon and are just the result of projections.

A Whole New Chapter

Road Trip!

Day 10, Banaue, Ifugao Province

It's a 211 km, 6-hour drive from Tuguegarao to Banaue. The first half of the drive was fine, a pretty straight but rather bumpy road through the Cagayan valley into the foothills. The last half was the curviest road ever. Nonstop turns as we ascended into the highest mountains on Luzon. And I mean nonstop. I think if you put all the straight sections in the last 100 km together you’d have maybe 1 km total of straight road. Think Lombard Street. 100 km of Lombard Street. To make things worse, we were confronted at least once every kilometer with earth and rock slides, and possibly cleanup crews trying to keep ahead of the mess. Constantly down to one lane. Waterfalls coming down the sides of the mountains, onto or under the roadway, sometimes washing out a lane.

The 2-lane road clings to the mountainsides, with one side going vertically upwards, and the other, well you just don’t want to look. Numerous villages, people, and animals also cling to the steep mountains, making the drive even more exciting. With no place to park other than the shoulder-less roadway, it’s pretty much down to taking turns at uncontrolled one-way traffic through the villages. Somehow you make it through. By the time we got here my arms hurt from all the turns. Oh wait… I wasn’t even driving. I pity our driver!

Farmers utilize the land as they can. Can you imagine working this field?

Why make this arduous trek to Banaue? Banaue is considered a must-see heritage site in the Philippines, for its ancient rice terraces. As much as 2000 years ago, the ancestors of the indigenous Igorot people began carving terraces into the steep hillsides to grow rice; they also built an elaborate irrigation system to collect water coming from the mountains and distribute it among the terraces. The terraces are still maintained and used for rice and vegetable cultivation today. Below are views from our hotel room.

An aside - Road Hazards

Spending so much time on the rural roads you see some interesting (i.e., dangerous) sights. Here are a few of my favorite road hazards from this trip.

Two in one. Trikes are a hazard in themselves, turning in front of you with no warning, driving at night with no lights, going 20 km/h and never pulling over. That’s compounded in a rice-growing region. Newly-harvested rice needs to be dried, right? What better place to do that than right on the highway!

Landslides. These were frequent on the road to Banaue. Not sure if these, or the crews trying to clean them up, posed more of a hazard.

And just not sure what to say about this jeepney...

Days 11-12, Baguio, Benguet Province

During Spanish rule, the area now known as Baguio was organized as a “rancheria” consisting of about 20 houses, populated by Ibaloi people. Their name for the area was “Bag-iw”, their term for the moss that grows abundantly in the cool climate. The Spanish corrupted the name into “Baguio”. Following the Spanish-American war, the area was ‘expropriated’ from the Ibaloi who were forced to move, when the American governor of the Philippines territory wanted a cooler place than Manila to locate the capital during the hot summer months. In 1903 President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive order setting aside the area as a military reservation, and by 1904 a master design for the city by architect Daniel Burnham was completed. The army “hill base” Camp John Hay was established, and soon features such as a mansion for the governor and a manor to be used for U.S. Army officer’s R&R were built. The mansion today is a museum; the Manor is still used as an upscale hotel (pulling up an old one, see “Mark and Georgia’s 2018 Philippines Trip”, days 20-22). Baguio is one of the most popular vacation spots in the Philippines for Filipinos and many international travelers. It’s just a 5-hour drive or a short flight from Manila so makes a feasible weekend escape from the heat – at over 1500 meters (5000 feet) elevation, we saw daytime highs of 22°C (72°F), pleasant indeed!

The drive from Banaue was another 7-hour, 200+ kilometers, pretty easy at first as we descended back into the Cagayan Valley (rice, rice, more rice, and lots of moo moo cows which Max liked). Rice is planted by hand here, one seedling at a time.

At the head of the valley we again drove on twisty 2-lane roads up into the misty pine-covered mountains, once again a 100 km Lombard Street. Did I say “pine-covered”? Have we been mysteriously transported back to California? No, the area around Baguio is noted for its pine trees (Pinus Kesiya, the most common pine species found in Asia). They are rather tall too, though not quite as tall as those around Graeagle.

We wanted a nice end to our road trip, so booked a couple days in a very nice and Max-friendly hotel. Within walking distance of our hotel is Mines View Park. There are no mines to view any more, but it does offer nice views of Baguio. Here’s Max and Georgia getting to know some elderly Igorot ladies in their colorful dress.

We took Max for a walk in Burnham park (remember the architect Burnham), a large mid-city park with a lake full of swan boats. The park was packed with holiday crowds; it was the Philippines Independence Day!

 With its cool climate, Baguio is known for growing cool-weather crops, including lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and strawberries. Nearby Burnham Park is the Baguio Public Market, a huge venue, easy to get lost in, with hundreds of stalls selling local produce. We bought various fresh veggies to bring back home with us, and Georgia also wanted to get some local red rice. Unless you’re Filipino you probably think there are maybe 3-4 kinds of rice… guess again. Even “Dog Rice”!

That wraps up our 2024 road trip, 13 days and a lot of miles. I haven’t added up how many miles – I’ll do that and also find a good map onto which I can plot our course.

Max (have Wubba will travel) is ready to hit the road again!

I always dreamed of becoming a college student in Manila. I would like to explore various things. The typical things that a college student usually does. Partying, traveling, drinking, smoking, and expending. I have always wanted to romanticize my stay there. To meet new people, whether it will become my friend, or an acquaintance or even an enemy. Perhaps, I can have the chance to go there someday. But to study there? Stay Tuguegarao. Because I won’t be leaving~

[arkipelagic]

Growing up in Tuguegarao, Jake would see the tattooed elders near his school and would often hear stories about Buscalan. It was not an easy trek to make, and at the time it was mostly foreigners who happened upon the village. Jake would spend three years completing his portrait series of the women elders of Kalinga. His iconic black-and white image of Whang-Od, which has been exhibited all over the world, can be found in various permutations all over Buscalan.

Whang-Od’s face is also plastered on all kinds of merch from t-shirts to coffee packaging, and that’s just in Buscalan. I don’t know if it’s because of her guilelessness and genuine desire to share her culture, but she has been at the center of several incidents that have been called out as exploitative, with a few requiring the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples to step in as the gatekeepers of indigenous intellectual property rights.

At a webinar that discussed these issues, social anthropologist Dr. Analyn Salvador-Amores noted that what was once a place-based ritual has been transformed into a commercialized practice. “Culture is an increasingly prized commodity, aggressively appropriated by other entities,” she said. “Instead of asking who owns culture, we should ask how we can promote respectful treatment of native culture and indigenous forms of self-expression within mass societies.”

Discovering the Beauty and Richness of Cagayan Valley (Region 2)

Introduction: Tucked away in the northeastern part of the Philippines lies Cagayan Valley, or Region 2. Known for its sprawling landscapes, vibrant agricultural production, and historical significance, Cagayan Valley offers a unique blend of natural wonders, cultural heritage, and warm-hearted people. This article explores the many facets of Cagayan Valley, inviting travelers and history enthusiasts to uncover its stories.

Geographical Beauty and Natural Wonders: Cagayan Valley is a region blessed with a wealth of natural beauty, from its lush valleys to its scenic coastlines. The region is home to the magnificent Cagayan River, the longest river in the Philippines, which flows across the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, and Batanes. This river has long been an important source of irrigation, transportation, and a crucial lifeline for the people in the valley.

One of the standout attractions in the region is Callao Cave in Peñablanca, Cagayan. This impressive limestone cave system features seven chambers, some of which contain stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Callao Cave is famous not just for its beauty but also for being an archaeological site where fossils of early humans and animals have been discovered.

Another must-see natural gem is the Palaui Island in Cagayan, which has earned the distinction of being one of the Most Beautiful Islands in the Philippines. The island is known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the historic Cape Engaño Lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.

Agricultural Richness: Cagayan Valley is one of the major agricultural regions in the Philippines, often referred to as the "rice granary" of Northern Luzon. Isabela and Cagayan are particularly known for their vast rice fields and abundant crops like corn, tobacco, and various fruits. The fertile land supported by the region’s rivers makes it one of the country's most important farming areas.

Local farmers, who have perfected their craft through generations, also grow tobacco—a significant industry in the area. Storytelling about life on these farms can bring attention to the agricultural practices that have sustained the people of the valley for centuries.

Historical Significance: Cagayan Valley holds a deep historical value in Philippine culture. The Piat Church in Piat, Cagayan is a renowned site, particularly the Nuestra Señora de Piat, a revered religious statue that is said to have miraculous powers. This church is a pilgrimage destination for thousands of Catholic devotees.

The province of Quirino is also historically notable as it was the home of Elpidio Quirino, the sixth President of the Philippines, and plays a key role in the development of Philippine independence.

Additionally, the region was a site of fierce battles during World War II. The remnants of these historical events can still be found in various places, making the region significant for those interested in the country’s wartime history.

Vibrant Culture and Festivals: Cagayan Valley is rich in cultural heritage, with each province showcasing unique traditions and festivals. One of the region’s most popular celebrations is the Pamuli Festival in Ilagan, Isabela, which honors the agricultural roots of the province, especially rice farming. The festival is a time for locals to showcase their colorful costumes, dance, and music, reflecting the deep connection between the people and the land.

In Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, the St. Hyacinth's Feast is celebrated with grandeur. Locals participate in religious parades, street dancing, and exhibitions of local crafts that demonstrate their devotion to their patron saint.

The People and Their Stories: The people of Cagayan Valley are as warm as the beautiful landscapes they inhabit. Known for their hospitality, the locals are always eager to share the rich history of their towns, the stories of their ancestors, and their agricultural heritage. Many stories from this region revolve around the deep connection between its people and the land they cultivate.

Conclusion: Cagayan Valley, or Region 2, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, agricultural wealth, rich history, and cultural traditions. From the mighty Cagayan River and stunning islands to its vibrant festivals and warm-hearted people, this region offers countless opportunities for exploration and storytelling. Whether you're an adventurer, a history buff, or a culture enthusiast, Cagayan Valley invites you to discover its charm and delve into its stories that have shaped the region for generations.
