Stairways to Heaven, the rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras.

The Cordillera Mountains are located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
00:00:05
The mountains are over 2,000 meters above sea level
00:00:11
and are the backdrop for a local myth passed down from generation to generation.
00:00:14
Ugan and Wigan were the first Ifugao.
00:00:20
God gave them rice and something that enabled them to grow rice in the harsh mountains,
00:00:23
the rice terraces.
00:00:28
This is the Ifugao village of Bangan.
00:00:31
The Ifugao tribe have cultivated and protected these 20,000 hectares of rice terraces
00:00:35
for over 2,000 years, preserving traditions described in their local myth.
00:00:40
The people of the Ifugao live in stilt houses.
00:00:47
Harvested rice is stored in the attic.
00:00:51
The smoke rises from below and keeps mice away.
00:00:54
Bulul is the god protecting the rice.
00:00:58
These beautiful rice terraces, often referred to as stairways to heaven,
00:01:05
were inscribed on the list of world heritage in 1995.
00:01:10
Indigenous chants sung during the planting and harvesting are called hut-hut.
00:01:15
The hut-hut's 40 epic tales were proclaimed a masterpiece
00:01:20
of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity.
00:01:23
In the 16th century, the Philippines became a Spanish colony.
00:01:33
The Ifugao refused to convert to Catholicism and kept their tribal pride.
00:01:37
However, the impact of modernization is now affecting this village.
00:01:42
In the village, many young people moved to the city
00:01:46
and 30% of the rice terraces are abandoned and left fallow.
00:01:49
Given the situation, the site was inscribed in the world heritage in danger list.
00:01:55
Some young people have stayed in the village to try and protect the rice terraces
00:02:03
handed down from their ancestors.
00:02:07
This young Ifugao man is one of them.
00:02:10
He is helping elders without successors to repair the collapsed rice terrace walls.
00:02:13
It is hoped that these rice terraces, given by God and valued as world heritage,
00:02:19
will be passed on to future generations.
00:02:24
Chants calling for the people who left the village echo in the stairways to heaven.
