Having a unique cultural immersion at a community in Ballay, Kabayan, benguet and taking part in their everyday life is a memorable lifetime experience. After my dayhike at Mt. Tabayok and visiting the mystical lakes - friday morning - my first stop - a look - then experience the work with the farmers doing their job. We should be very thankful to them, they earn bare minimum from what they plant and yes they bless us with healthy vegetables in our plate. Exhibiting this intuitive skills gain so much respect, it made me realize how lucky we are to live without going into this. Late noon - I was invited to a thanksgiving party were all locals gather together. A tradition within the tribe - this includes the women singing in praise and prayers, and the men preparing the food for them. I was amazed at the resilience that this culture has built and it has been a powerful and enlightening experience for me. My special thanks to the family of Sir Santiago for welcoming me to their house, providing food and shelter during my stay.
