Ancestral hut and rice fields






An ancestral hut.  Families actually lived in such dwellings.  They are built on stilts to ward off the creepy, crawly things.  There is a block on top of each stilt that prevents rats from entering.  Food was cooked over a fire underneath the hut.  This is Sister Campbell with me.

 The terraced rice fields of Banaue.  These were created by hand labor and are still maintained by hand.  Each terrace is carefully built in layers.
