  Cordillera Online - Ifugao Province   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Ifugao, located at the foot of the Cordillera mountain ranges, is a home to thriving culture and host to the famous rice terraces carved from the base of the mountainsides to the top, which appear to be massive green stairways reaching to the sky.
Ifugao is derived from the word "Ipugo" meaning "from the hill." "Pugo" means "hill" while the prefix "I" means "from." The Spaniards changed "Ipugo" to "Ipugaw" and later on changed to "Ifugao" by the Americans.
Ifugao was separated from Nueva Viscaya in 1905 and became a sub-province of Mt. Province in 1908.

It was the seat of military and political authorities during the Spanish and American colonial periods and the seat of the civil government of the sub-province of Ifugao during the Commonwealth era from 1935 to 1946 and the early post-Liberation years until 1949.

 :. leonard aguinaldo's gift to folk art : hiraya.com
With their allusion to the mumbaki of the Ifugao, the mambunong of the Mountain Province, and the shaman of indigenous Western society, the works depict the rites and rituals of healing and religious offering, evoking, as it were, the spiritual beliefs and the ways of life of the Cordillera folk in Northern Philippines.
Using the storytelling mode to probe the rich lore of their healing arts, Aguinaldo combines the manifold imagery of East and West, the traditional and the contemporary, the mystical as well as the sensual, in his bold attempt to create a colorful tapestry of signs, symbols and sentiments.
The device of reconstructing old documents--such as codes, penmanship and inscriptions--has imbued Aguinaldo’s storytelling approach with a sense of documented remembrance in the archive of his people’s memory.
