CORDILLERA ADMINISTRATIVE REGION I.

Brief History Many theories have been postulated to account for the origin of the people inhabiting the mountain regions of the Philippines. The Land Bridge Theory claims that the Philippines was part of the Southern Asia Mainland and the Northern Luzon maintain tribes that came through these bridges during the last glacial period between 1200 and 1500 B.C. Contradictory to these assumptions is the Wave Migration Theory, which occurred thousands of years after the disappearance of the land bridges in 3,000-4,000 B.C. The theory states that groups of migrants came by boat from the neighboring lands during the Neolithic period. The Neolithic culture, which they brought with them, is still evident in the rice terraces, cloth weaving and the use of iron implements. Scholars differ in their contentions of the mountain peoples ancestors, however, a prominent number supports the contention that the ancestors of the mountain people came from the South East Asia Mainland. In the process of settling down, the early inhabitants became geographically isolated from one another. The long period of isolation and adaptation to the environment gave rise to variations of culture. When the Spaniards came to the Philippines, they were able to set foot in the Cordilleras as early as 1608 but with minimal influence. They were able to establish commandancias in Benguet, Ifugao and KalingaApayao but their stay did not last long enough to pacify the people of the hinterlands when the Americans came. When the American regime dawned upon the Cordillera wild lands, the new colonial government found the people still not pacified. The government decided to establish a separate political history for them under Act. No. 1876 of the Philippine Commission, the Mountain Province was divided into seven (7) sub provinces namely: Amburayan, Apayao, Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao Kalinga, and Lepanto. Eight years later, and under Act No. 2772 promulgated on February 4,1920, Mountain Province was reconstituted into five provinces- Benguet, Ifugao, Bontoc and Kalinga -Apayao. The movement for local autonomy and administrative decentralization before the authoritarian rule has preceded the establishment of the Cordillera Administrative Region. On September 3,1986, President Corazon C. Aquino met with the representatives of the Cordillera Bodong Administration (CBA) and the Cordillera Peoples Liberation Army (CPLA) and the Alasiw (cessation of hostilities) to acknowledge their aspiration for autonomy. However, pending the enactment of the organic act for the Cordillera Administrative Region, the President issued Executive Order No. 220 on July 15,1987 creating the Cordillera Administrative Region consisting of the provinces of Abra, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga - Apayao, Mountain Province and the chartered City of Baguio. II. Regional Vision "We the people of the Cordilleras, proud of our culture and heritage rooted in spirituality, shall have a truly autonomous region of united, enlightened and empowered citizenry who shall pursue sustainable development where responsibilities and benefits are equitably shared by all. The Regional Development Council is the primary institution to unify and coordinate efforts toward the development of the region as: A bastion of rich indigenous culture and knowledge; Champion of good governance;

Physically integrated and accessible; Watershed Cradle; Family-oriented eco-tourist destination Prime educational center; Food basket; and Agri- and light industry producer For an improved quality of life for the people of the Cordilleras. III. OVERVIEW OF THE REGION Climate The region's climate generally falls under types I and III. Type I is characterized by two (2) pronounced seasons dry season from December to May and wet from June to November. The provinces that fall under this type are Benguet including Baguio City; eastern part of Abra, Ifugao and Mt. Province. Type III has no pronounced maximum rain period with a short dry season lasting only from one to three months. The provinces of Kalinga and Apayao including the western part of Abra, Ifugao and Mountain Province fall under this type. Land Resources The Cordillera is endowed with abundant mineral reserves. These are metallic ores such as gold, copper, silver, zinc and non - metallic reserves found in Abra, Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao and Mountain Province. However, mining operations are still concentrated in Benguet where almost 100 percent of the region's mineral production in 1988 were registered. In addition, the region has untapped geothermal energy resources and underdeveloped hydroelectric power resources. Population and Economy The region is the least populated region in the country despite its vast land area. The total population in 1995 was 1,254,838 and grew to 1,365,220 in 2000 reflecting an average annual growth rate of 1.82% percent during the period 1995-2000. Consistently, it has bested the other regions in terms of positive employment rates indicating a vibrant and potential-laden economy. Agriculture remains to be the primary pre-occupation, which employs more than one-half of the region's work force. Affirming its location as the geographic pinnacle of the Philippines, the budding Cordillera Administrative Region truly stands out as the incomparable frontier for development.

IV. TOURISM THRUST AND VISION The Cordillera Tourism Master Plan adopts "culture" and "nature" as its main thrust and vision for development. This thrust is sufficiently embodied and summed up in what is popularly known today as "eco-tourism." The overriding goal is to preserve, conserve and enhance the area's natural environment and its rich tribal culture for people and visitors to appreciate, enjoy and learn from. PROGRAM INTERVENTIONS: Physical Infrastructure Program - to address accessibility problems, communications and other basic infrastructures such as water supply, electrification, sanitation and waste management. Site Facilities Development Program - to address specific cluster/site development requirement for tourism development such as the array of accommodation facilities and support infrastructure, site enhancement projects and other tourism products to be established in each cluster/site identified. Land use planning is a critical component of site development.

Socio-cultural and Livelihood Program - includes community based schemes to enhance participation and expression of local culture by the host communities, on one hand, and tourists' appreciation of cultural values and learning experiences on the other. It also provides for opportunities to the local communities to generate livelihood and income from tourism activities. Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program - provides appropriate interventions for ensuring environmentally friendly tourism activities including restoration and enhancement of natural assets. Tourism Promotion and Marketing Program - to embark on a sustained tourism information development for promoting CAR tourism particularly ecotourism in the local and international markets. Institutional/Policy Development Program - to create a conducive policy environment and acquire capabilities and resources to implement and manage a coordinated multi-sectoral effort for tourism development in CAR including encouraging private sector participation. Investment in identified programs and projects. TOURISM STATISTICS Tourist arrivals in the Cordillera Administrative Region registered a volume of 844,765 for the period January to December 2004. This shows a decrease of 12.09% compared to the same period last year with a volume of 960,945. The figure represents 92.94% Domestic travellers, 6.79% Foreign travellers and only .27% overseas travellers.

Source of Data: National Economic Development Authority - CAR Department of Tourism CAR CITY OF BAGUIO BRIEF HISTORY During the Spanish Era, Benguet was not a remote area for the Spaniards to explore. The vastness and promising economic potential of the place lured the Spaniards to conduct series of expeditions. Early explorers included Juan Salcedo in 1572 and Don Q.M. Quirante in 1664. Series of attempts were made to subjugate the Igorots but failed. Finally in 1864, Commandante de Galvey established his Commandancia at La Trinidad, Benguet (named after his wife). Galvey went to establish the province of Benguet with 31 rancherias. The first Kapitan of Benguet was Pulito of Kafagway, now Baguio, a minor rancheria of about 20 houses. The presidentia of Baguio was first established in the house of the Campulet at the top of the Tabacalera road at the lower end of Guisad Valley. Later, the presidentia of Baguio was moved to the present site of the Baguio City Hall. The Spaniards established order, built churches and schools, made trails and introduced coffee during their long occupation of the area. The Americans came early in 1900 and established their government with H. Whitmarsh as the appointed Governor of Benguet and Baguio as the capital. This was the first provincial government to be established in the Philippines and this happened a year prior to the inauguration of the civil government of the Philippines. Their best administrators and teachers were fervent boosters and promoters: Worcester, Wright, Forbes, Pack, Barrows, Eckman and others who together with Filipinos committed to make the place a haven. Several mines near Baguio within Benguet were developed and were very productive. Business in the city also flourished with the establishment of commercial centers. Recreational facilities were also installed. Then, the city grew before the outbreak of World War II. Baguio was bombed on December 8,1941 by the Japanese and they occupied it on December 27 of the same year. When the war ended, rehabilitation was immediately done with the supervision of the Americans based at Camp John Hay. Since then, the city became a favorite for vacationists. The July 16, 1990 earthquake devastated the entire city with its infrastructure, buildings and its populace but it did not end here. Four years after the great earthquake, Baguio City has recovered and is standing firm and proud for its restored heritage. Until today, Baguio City as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, is the most frequented destination in Northern Luzon by local and foreign tourists alike. I. OVERVIEW OF THE CITY Geography and land area

Baguio City, approximately 250 kilometers north of Manila is, situated in the heart of the Province of Benguet. The area of the city is 49 square kilometers enclosed in a perimeter of 30.6 kilometers. The developed portion of the city is a plateau that rises to an elevation of 1,400 meters. Most of it lies on the northern half of the city. There are two great valleys found in the south and the north of the city. The more famous Guisad - Lucban Valley has an elevation that ranges from 1,300 to 1,400 meters and is centrally located towards the north. The southern valley is composed of long and narrow vales surrounded by low hills and transected by a network of hills. Some of the more important valleys are Camp 7, Loakan, Bakakeng and Crystal Cave, These valleys are arable as they are rich with alluvial deposits. The summits on the plateau offer panoramic views. The summits that face the west: Quezon Hill, Mirador -Dominican Hill and the Bureau of Animal Industry Stock Farm which offers splendid view of the Ilocos Coastal Plain, Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea during cloudless days. Another famous promontory is Mines View Park, which overlooks the mining town of Itogon and offers a glimpse of the Amburayan Valley. All over the city, however are sporadically scattered steep side hills and mountains. About half the area of the city has a slope of 25% or more. Government A popularly elected Mayor heads the city government of Baguio. He is assisted by the Vice-mayor and a 12 - man legislative council called the Sangguniang Panglunsod. The last election was conducted in May 2001. Citizens participate actively in government affairs and public issues. Baguio enjoys a especially informal atmosphere, so that even the officials are not detached and removed from the populace. Congressman: Mayor: Vice-Mayor: Climate Baguio is 8 degrees cooler on any month on the average than any place in the lowlands. When Manila sweats at 35 degrees centigrade of above, Baguio seldom exceeds 26 degrees centigrade at its warmest. The lowest temperature reading made by the local weather bureau was 6.3 degrees centigrade, recorded in January 18, 1961. Baguio is very wet during the Philippine rainy season, which is from June to October. The recorded heaviest volume of rainfall in Baguio City was in 1911 when it measured 9,038.3 mm. However from November to May, Baguio becomes a tropical paradise, a refreshing break from the hot and humid Philippine climate. Christmas season is when Baguio glows with the nippy winter air. Nights are good for bonfires. In the summer months of March, April, and May, Baguio lives up to its title as the Summer Capital of the Philippines when thousands of visitors from the lowlands and Manila take their annual exodus to the city to cool off. Casual clothing is recommended worn with jackets or sweaters especially in the late afternoon or evenings. Population The population of the city as of 2000 is 252,386. The youth constitute nearly half of the population. There is a trace of longevity among the people, of who are aged over 60. The middle aged group numbers 70,511. Atty. Mauricio Domogan Atty. Braulio Yaranon Reynaldo Bautista Jr.

During the peak of the annual tourist influx, particularly during the Lenten period, transients triple the population. Language Spoken English is widely spoken and understood. It is the medium of instruction in all public and private schools. Most newspapers and magazines are printed in English, hence, an English speaking traveler would not find communication problems. The national language, Filipino, is of course spoken by everyone. Ilocano is also spoken by almost everybody. Major Industries The three dominant industries in the city are tourism, education and integrated circuits. Tourism remains to be a dominant industry, especially with the improved access roads. Lowlanders come to the city during the hot summer months. Baguio has about 50, 000 college and vocational students. Texas Instruments initiated the Export Processing Zone now Philippine Export Zone Authority (PEZA). Today, they export six hundred million dollars of products annually. II. TOURIST ATTRACTIONS Baguio is the gateway to the wonders of Northern Luzon. The calm beaches of La Union; the fabled Hundred Islands of Pangasinan; the world famous Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao; the ancient churches, Spanish influenced houses, historical and cultural relics of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte, the Kabayan of the tribes of Benguet, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Kalinga, Apayao and Abra. HISTORICAL 1. Marker of the Philippine Commissions First Session in Baguio This is the site of the building where the members of the Philippine Commission met from April 22 to June 11, 1904 and officially initiated the use of Baguio as the Philippine Summer Capital. The Commission was composed of Governor General Luke Wright, president, and Commissioners Henry Ide, Dean C. Worcester, T Padre Tavera, Benito Legarda, Jose de Luzuriaga, James Smith and Cameron Forbes. To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Baguio a project was done to locate, clean and spruce up all historical markers. 2. Kennon Road and its Builder Named after Col. Lyman W. Kennon, who was the final builder of the famous Benguet road, with the help of the industrious Cordillerans and foreign workers. Kennon road is the shortest and the most scenic highway linking Baguio and the lowlands. The lions head can be found along the way. Final construction of this road was finished in 1903. Col. L. Kennon first ascended to Baguio in 1905. Of the original workers, the Igorots and Japanese were admired for their trustworthiness and willingness to work. Kennon was closed to traffic after the July 16, 1990 earthquake. It is now open to light vehicles only. 3. Diplomat Hotel on Dominican Hill

In May 1911, the councils of the Province of the Dominican Order voted to construct a vacation house in Baguio on a 17-hectare property they had acquired when the American authorities were encouraging people to come here. Actual work started in 1913 under Fr. Roque Ruano and the building was inaugurated on May 23, 1925. To take advantage of the tax exemptions a school called Collegio del Santissimo Rosario was opened in June 1915 but due to the very small enrollment the school closed in 1917, reverting the building to the original vacation house. During WWII refugees first occupied it. Later the Japanese Army Liberation Forces had to bomb out the refugees from the buildings. The five hits left very extensive damage and for a time it was left unrepaired. Reconstruction was started in 1947 and completed in 1948 with most of its pre-war grandeur and beauty restored. In 1973, Diplomat Hotels, Inc. acquired ownership, remodeled the interior into a 33-bedroom hotel with modern facilities, but retained the unique and distinct personality of the Dominican Hill. In the 80s the hotel ceased operations due to the death of one of its majority stockholders. Plans are underway to develop this historical religious landmark into a tourist resort. 4. Philippine Military Academy The Philippine Commission promulgated Act No. 175, which became the basis for the creation of the Philippine Constabulary in August 8, 1905. The school for the officers of the constabulary was first located in Sta. Lucia Barracks in Manila. Later in 1908, it was relocated in Baguio on the site known as Constabulary Hill later renamed Camp Henry T. Allen, in honor of the first chief of the Philippine Constabulary. With the passage of the Jones Law, the school was later changed to Academy for Officers of the Philippine Constabulary with a two-year curriculum. In 1908, the course was raised to collegiate level and later lengthened to three years with class 1938 as having the last graduates of that course. When the commonwealth government was established in 1935, the Philippine Military Academy was created in place of the Philippine Constabulary Academy. Under the National Defense Act, the PMA was authorized to maintain cadet strength of 350. Because of increased population, the academy transferred to Teachers Camp in June 1936 where it remained until WWII broke out. After the war the PMA headquarters was temporarily relocated at Camp Murphy and later at Alabang, while Camp Allen was being rehabilitated. Since May 1950 the Philippine Military Academy has found its permanent home at Fort del Pilar, Loakan, Baguio City. 5. The Mansion This imposing and majestic mansion has a long list of Filipino Presidents and American governor-generals. It has elegantly structured building and guesthouse. Its gate is patterned after that of Londons Buckingham Palace. The Mansion has also been the site of several international conferences and a working office of the President of the Philippines during his visits to the City. 6. Camp John Hay This former American recreational facility is currently undergoing development as a world class resort. As of March 27, 1999, the golf course was completed and is now open, The skating rink, picnic area, and the mini golf course at the Scout Hill area are likewise open. 7. Teachers Camp It was through the vacation normal school, which began in 1908 teachers from all over, the islands were able to have a respite and some time for studies. In a letter to the Secretary of Public Instruction, Governor William Pack outlined his plan to set up a camp in Baguio where teachers can be accommodated. The plan was approved on January 8, 1908 and the camp was opened on April 6, 1908.

For a start, four assembly tents were put up for kitchen, dining and storage purposes and two other large tents were set aside for class purposes. Later on, the KURSAAK" was constructed in 1909 as a permanent structure and took over the functions of the mess tent, aside from being the social center for assemblies. The next year, other buildings were added, the road traversing the vast hectare leveled and the athletic field out in its hollow. It now caters to conferences, meetings, seminars and social functions sponsored by the government sector. CULTURAL/HISTORICAL 1. Easter Weaving Room This school was built in 1905 under Samuel Drury with funds donated by Bishop Brent of the Episcopalian Church of the Philippines. It opened in 1906 as a church school. Dr. Benjamin Platt introduced the Easter School Weaving Room as an industrial work in the curriculum. By 1924 there were five buildings and in 1928 they inaugurated the Chapel of the Holy Innocents. Before World War II, the Easter School Compound, which had nine buildings, were raised to the ground by the American Liberation Forces. With only the Headquarters and the Nurses' Cottage standing then, rehabilitation started to complete the compound as it is now. It is the right place to visit for those who are interested in native fabrics and other handicrafts. Here one can witness the actual process of cloth weaving as practiced by the natives of the Mountain Provinces for ages. 2. Saint Louis Filigree Shop This is a handicraft shop specializing in silver jewelry and other filigree products. Some of the craftsmen are only high school students. This shop is in the center of the city and was established in 1916. 3. Baguio Tourism Complex Within the complex along Gov. Pack Road are the Baguio Sunshine Park, the Regional Office of the Department of Tourism and Secretarys Cottage. The Sunshine Park features flowering garden and a covered stage with ethnic design, which is often used, for cultural presentation. The park itself is designed after a shield. 4. Baguio - Mountain Provinces Museum This museum is temporarily located at the Baguio Convention Center. It has on display a variety of artifacts and relics showcases the cultural heritage, customs and traditions of the mountain provinces. The cluster of buildings within the complex depicts the architectural features of the native houses of the mountain provinces. The Department of Tourism and the City government of Baguio are undertaking a reconstruction of the Baguio -Mountain Provinces Museum. 5. Baguio Convention Center (BCC) Situated across the University of the Philippines College Baguio exudes an ethnic flavor considered the most spacious edifice North of Manila. The BCC initially gained prominence when it became the site of the 1978 internationally renowned chess championship series between Anatoly Karpov and Victor Korchnoi. It was inaugurated by former Pres. Ferdinand Marcos on July 17, 1978 during the opening of the series. It continues to cater to conferences, conventions, meetings and other social functions in the City. It now temporarily houses the Baguio Mt.-Provinces Museum Foundation, Inc. 6. Educational Institutions There are six (6) colleges and universities in Baguio. These are the University of the Philippine College, Philippine Military Academy, University of Baguio, Saint Louis University, Baguio Colleges Foundation, Baguio Central University, Pines City Colleges and the international school in the city, Brent International School. 7. SLU Museum Located in the premise of the school (SLU), it showcases the different culture heritages of the Cordilleras and some lowland amenities. Artifacts and relics including an ancient coffin can be seen on display. A curator is always stationed for the convenience of visitors to explain the artifacts and the culture of the Cordilleras. 8. Ifugao Woodcarvers Village

Along the way to Asin, about 5 kilometers from the city, is an Ifugao wood carving village, which produces and sells beautiful hand-carved curio items at very low prices. NATURAL 1. Asin Hot Spring Located 16 kilometers northwest of Baguio, the resorts main feature is a swimming pool surrounded by thermal springs, lush vegetation and several hanging bridges. It is an ideal respite. This is now eyed to be redeveloped into a tourism resort along with the adjoining tourist attractions of Tuba and Baguio. 2. Mt. Sto. Tomas A trek up to the Mount Sto. Tomas is a hiker delight. The peak is 7,500 feet high and commands a majestic view of mountains, sea and valley. The mountain can be reached by foot or by vehicle. RELIGIOUS 1. Lourdes Grotto This is a religious shrine housing the image of the Lady of Lourdes. About 252 steps lead to this shrine where pilgrims brave the steep climb to offer sacrifices, devotion and prayers. One is also regarded with a beautiful panoramic view of the city. 2. Baguio Cathedral One of the familiar landmarks in Baguio, the structure with its twin spires and one hundred steps sits on top of a hill in the heart of the city, offering church goers and visitors a chance to get a bird's eye view of the entire commercial hub. 3. Bell Church This cluster of temples is located on the border of Baguio City and Trinidad Valley. Its exotic oriental architecture, pagodas roof, ornate gateway, dragon ornaments and Buddha - guarded windows gaze from atop a hill. The Bell Temple priest practices a mixture of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity. One may even try having his fortune told. 4. Churches, Seminars and Convents Baguio is an ideal location for meditation, contemplation and spiritual renewal hence the existence of no less religious denominations that run churches, seminaries, convents and other institutions such as hospitals and schools. MAN - MADE 1. Burnham Park It is the oldest of all Baguio parks. One can unwind from the tension of the day-to-day bustle by biking, skating or simply reflecting on the days experiences amid a soothing garden backdrop of colorful flowers. It is thickly wooded and is a great place to have picnics and concerts. There are tennis and basketball courts, a football field, athletic oval and an orchidarium. 2. Botanical Garden It is also called the Igorot village, which features native huts typical of the Cordillera architecture. This village within a village captures the ethnic spirit and cultural legacy of the Igorot dweller. The garden is also a site of cultural presentations and other tribal meetings. 3. Mines View Park Appropriately named for its breathtaking view of Benguet's mountain ranges where gold, silver and other ores were once quarried. There are souvenir shops around the park offering such items as woodcarvings, woven cloth, ashtrays, shell products and other curio items. 4. Wright Park

It is sometimes mistakenly called Ride Park by some that identify this pine tree park reserve for kiddy horse rides. A long stairway leads to the Pool of the Pines, a 100 meter long pool of water lined on both sides by the famous Baguio towering pine. 5. Baguio Country Club This club was organized with funds, which were privately contributed. They built tennis courts and cottages. Today Baguio Country Club has 200 guestrooms and suites in a new building. It also boasts a beautiful 18hole, 61-par golf course for its members and guests. 6. Session Road / Market During the early years of Baguio, buildings only on the left side opposite the hill on which the church was built occupied Session Road. A big stream spanned by wooden bridge crossed the lowest portion of the road. Beyond this bridge was the swampland where bull carts parked and congregated thereby starting what is now called the market. Many of the open-air stalls spread out towards Lucban following the banks of the steam and thus determined the direction of the market expansion. III. FESTIVALS AND EVENTS 1. Baguio Ecumenical Holy Week (Holy Week) - focuses on Baguio as a spiritual center. The first commemoration initiated by the religious sector of the Non-Government Organizations started last March 1991 with the theme Baguio, a journey to spiritual renewal. 2.

Civil government was established in Abra on August 19,1901, but on February 1905 it was re-annexed to Ilocos Sur. Abra remained a sub-province for 12 years regaining its status as a province only after the passage of Act 2683 in March 1977. The main economic activity is agriculture. The Abra River used to be the way in and out of the province not to forget the horses used as mode of transportation during the Spanish period. The cultural heritage of the people is clearly manifested in their customs and practices especially the populace in the mountainous areas. Their collection of antique porcelains, jars and gongs speak of trade with the oriental countries directly or indirectly. It can be said that the cultural practices of the people are indigenous which can be substantiated by their ethnic music that people in the mountain play. There has also existed a kind of political order as evidenced by the kalon, a treaty practice. When the Spaniards came, missionary work was done in Abra by the Augustinian Orders who founded the town of Bangued in 1898. They also made extensive studies of the culture of the mountain people of Abra. The people of Abra actively participated in the national uprising in the eighteenth century. During the middle part of 1899, a revolutionary government was set up in Abra through the leadership of Don Blas Villamor. Leocadio Valera became Provincial Governor until Abra fell into the American Civil Government, which they established on August 19, 1909. During the Japanese Occupation, subversive guerilla organization was formed to resist the intruders. Like any other place, the province was heavily damaged during the Second World War. Industries and properties of people were adversely affected. When the Americans took over after the war, a new system of government was introduced and substantial change in the social, religious, political and economic life of the people.

They found the Mandayas later known as Isnegs already in their organized communities. It was also on this year that Father Geronimo Molina started his missionary work in the province. Towards the latter part of the 18th century, the Spaniards could only claim to have conquered the lower part of Apayao where they established their politico-militar commandancias. Evidence of this are the ruins of the Spanish churches at barangays Mataguisi and Emilia. On June 18,1966, Republic Act No. 4695 was enacted creating four separate independent provinces namely: Benguet, Ifugao, Mt. Province and Kalinga-Apayao from the original Mountain Province. When Executive Order No. 220 was signed and issued by Her Excellency President Corazon C. Aquino on July 15,1987, creating the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), the provinces of Ifugao and KalingaApayao of Region 2 and Abra of Region 1 were included in the territorial coverage of the CAR. In 1994, Congressman Elias K. Bulut filed a bill in congress for the possible separation of Kalinga and Apayao which on February 14, 1995, Republic Act No.7878 was signed into law. This Act provides for the conversion of the province of Kalinga-Apayao into regular province to be known as the provinces of Apayao and province of Kalinga, amending Republic Act No.4695. As a new province, the Apayao Provincial Government has no buildings to house its offices. Hence, these offices are temporarily housed in privately owned houses in the poblacion of Kabugao, the capital town of Apayao. Name Fred C.

Department of Tourism - CAR fn:carsit99-1/sgc PROVINCE OF BENGUET BRIEF HISTORY Early in the 19th century after the Spanish explorer Guillermo Galvey's report of his expedition, the Spanish government organized the mountain region into six (6) commandancias politico-militar namely: Benguet in 1846, Lepanto in 1852, Bontoc in 1859, Amburayan in 1889, and Kayapa and Kabugao in 1891. The province of Benguet, as now constituted, have portions of which were parts of the districts of Lepanto, Bontoc and Amburayan. Early commandancias were divided into rancherias. The commandancia of Benguet consisted of 41 rancherias with La Trinidad, named after Galvey's wife, as capital.

In 1899, the Katipunan came to Benguet and united the Igorots and established Benguet under the government of the Republic of the Philippines. Ora Juan Carino of Tublay was appointed Governor of Benguet and Chairman of the Board. In La Trinidad, Miguel Picarte was appointed as president but their terms were short-lived since the American colonizers came in the 1900's. Under the American rule, civil government was established under Act. No. 48 in the following townships of Benguet; Adaoay, Ambuklao, Ampusongan, Atok, Balakbak, Bokod, Buguias, Kabayan, Kapangan, Kibungan, Daclan, Gallano, Itogon, Palina, Sablan, and Tublay. The government of each township was vested in the president and council composed of one representative from each barrio of the township. When Act. No. 1876 was passed on August 13, 1908, Benguet province became a sub-province of the Mountain Province. Under this Act, the sub-province embraced by the Mountain Province were Amburayan, Apayao, Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kalinga and Lepanto. The original nineteen (19) townships of Benguet as embodied in Act No. 48 dated November 22, 1900 were reduced to thirteen (13) municipalities. The township of Baguio became a chartered city on September 1, 1909, creating in its place the township of Tuba. The townships of Ambuklao, Adaoay, Balakbak, Galiano, Palina and Loo were abolished under Executive Orders issued by the government of the Philippines. Today, the province of Benguet still hold claims as the "Salad Bowl of the Philippines" because of its huge production of upland vegetables. I.

BRIEF HISTORY Ifugao was formerly a part of the old Mountain Province. It was created as an independent province on June 18,1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4695, otherwise known as the Division Law of Mountain Province. Under this law, Mountain Province was divided into four (4) provinces namely: Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga-Apayao and Mountain Province. The name is derived from the word IPUGO. Pugo means hill while the prefix I means from. The Spaniards changed "Ipugo" to "Ipugaw" and was finally changed by the Americans to Ifugao. The Ifugaos are one of the different tribes that inhabited the old Mountain Province. Their culture and tradition, being unique and striking, have made them subject of many studies by foreign scholars. For the Ifugaos, custom is the basis of all laws. But these customs would mean nothing if these were not supported by ancestry knowledge. Among the Ifugaos, extensive pedigrees exist. They are the graphic representation that puts in evidence one of the most basic principles of the Ifugao culture. We can not but do what our ancestors told us (Lambretch CICM 1964). During the Spanish regime, the Spaniards confined their activities in Kiangan (Quiangan at that time) but it was the cross not the sword that conquered the people. During their stay in Ifugao, the Spaniards were able to organize pueblos (towns) headed by the Alcalde Municipal and barangays (barrios) headed by the Cabesa de Barangay. In 1888, the Spanish rule and influence ended with the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. During the American regime, a significant accomplishment made was the setting of boundaries of the five (5) ethnic groups in the Mountain Province in 1920 namely: Benguet, Bontoc, Kalinga-Apayao and Ifugao. The main thrust of the American rule in the region was the development of the natural resources. Farming and industries were developed. The construction of schools and roads were also built all over the province. During the Japanese occupation, Ifugao became the center of warfare during the last stages of World War II. It was in Ifugao, particularly in Mt. Napulawan in Ifugao where Gen. Yamashita, the known Tiger of Malaya decided to put his last stand against the Filipino and American forces. He informally surrendered to Capt. Grisham of the 6th US Army in the Philippines based in Kiangan, Ifugao before he was flown to Camp John Hay where he formally surrendered.

In 1905, Ifugao was made a sub-province of the old Mountain Province. The sub-province was administered by a Lt. Governor, which was later changed to Deputy Governor. Captain Pedro Bulan was the first native and last official to assume the office of Deputy Governor. Hon. Luis Pawid of Kiangan became the first Deputy Governor during the regime. At the outbreak of the war in 1942, five (5) municipal districts were created in Ifugao namely: Burnay (later changed to Lagawe by virtue of R.A 3380 and the capital town of the province), Kiangan, Banaue, Hungduan, and Mayoyao. The municipalities of Potia, now Alfonso Lista, and Lamut were created after the war. Ifugao finally gained provincial status on June 18,1966 with the municipality of Lagawe as the capital town. The first provincial officials were: Gov. Gualberto Lumauig, Vice Gov. Manuel Tuguinay, and Board Members- Napoleon Hangdaan and Gaspar Ponchinlan. They were inducted into office on March 26, 1967.

Data Source: Provincial Government of Ifugao Department of Tourism PROVINCE OF KALINGA BRIEF HISTORY The name Kalinga is derived from the Ibang and Gaddang Kalinga, which means headhunters. In the past, headhunting was considered noble and it symbolizes bravery. Tattoos, a status symbol which men respect and which women admire are given to warriors as reward. Thus a mingol or warrior enjoys a high status in Kalinga society. The Bodong to the Kalingas or peace pact is an indigenous socio-political system that defines intertribal relationships. This was developed to minimize traditional warfare and headhunting and serves as an institutional renewal, maintenance and reinforcement of social ties. Recently, the Bodong was expanded into a multi-lateral peace pact providing a means of strengthening unity in some parts of the Cordilleras. The Spanish missionaries and politico-military forces successfully penetrated into the forbidding Apayao and Kalinga Tribal territories as early as 1608 when Father Geronimo Molina started his mission work in Pudtol (Apayao) and also in 1689 at Tuga (Kalinga) where the first Catholic Mass was celebrated. During the short-lived Philippine Republic, President Emilio Aguinaldo in his flight to Palanan, Isabela crossed the upper Kalinga areas in his vain attempt to elude his American pursuers. For 35 days, President Aguinaldo established his headquarters at Lubuagan since March 18,1900. Here he issued his orders to his military generals and the civil officials of his revolutionary government until he was forced out of Lubuagan upon learning that his pursuers were sighted at Mabongtoto. This prompted him to escape towards Tabuk in that historic last leg of his flight to Palanan where he was later captured. On February 4,1920, Act No. 2772 was promulgated reorganizing the Lepanto-Bontoc Province into Mountain Province constituted by the five provinces of Benguet, Bonito, Ifugao, Kalinga-Apayao. Lubuagan was the capital of Kalinga while Kabugao was the capital town of Apayao. On June 18,1966, Republic Act No. 4695 was enacted creating from the old Mountain Province five separate and independent provinces: Benguet, Ifugao, Mt. Province (Bonito) and Kalinga-Apayao. On March 26, 1967, President Ferdinand E. Marcos administered the oath of office to the new officials of the four newly born provinces.

The first appointed provincial officials of Kalinga-Apayao province were Ceferino B. Ramirez, Provincial Governor; Amado B. Almazan, Vice Governor; and Board Members Castro B. Lammawin and Carlos Deguiom. Presently, Kalinga is fast emerging as an Eco-tourism Discovery of the Cordilleras since its operation as a regular and separate province on February 14, 1996. I. OVERVIEW Location Nestling on an elevation ranging from 300 to 5,000 feet above sea level of northsouth assemblage of mountain ranges within the Cordillera Central, Kalinga has been dubbed as the Prince of the Highlands Philippines. A glance of the Philippine map will easily reveal the similarity of the physiography of Kalinga to that of a bust of a man, akin to Ex-President Ferdinand E. Marcos. The provinces geographic feature is characterized in the western portion by sharp crested interlinking peaks of the steep slope, isolated flat lands, plateaus and valleys. The eastern portion generally rolling gradually sloping foothills. Interlocking wide tracks of flat lands and flood plains along its main drainage system, this rare geography interposes a great role expected of the province in national development pursuits. Political Subdivision The province is composed of eight (8) municipalities. These are Balbalan, Lubuagan, Pasil, Pinukpuk, Rizal, Tabuk, Tanudan and Tinglayan. Climate The prevailing climate of the province is categorized under type III classification of the Weather Bureau. The relatively dry season occurs from the month of November to April while the rest of the year is generally wet. Heaviest rain occurs during the month of September with an average rainfall of 2,000 mm. Typhoons frequently occur during the period from July to October. Population Kalinga has a total population of 174,023 as of 2000. Industries The updated records of the Department of Trade and Industry Provincial Office reveal that existing industries in the province are furniture making, garment craft, food processing, gifts and housewares and agricultural support. II. TOURIST ATTRACTIONS HISTORICAL Aguinaldo Hill - it is located at Barangay Asibanglan-Pinukpuk Road at Allaguia junction. Gen. Aguinaldo used this hill as a common post during the Philippine-American war. CULTURAL Mini-Museum of Kalinga

- a mini-museum was initiated and established by the Kalinga Special Development Authority situated in their office building at Bulanao, Tabuk. NATURAL Sungang ViewPoint - the viewpoint affords a majestic view of the valley villages and mountains of Tinglayan, Tanudan, Tabuk and Lubuagan. A very good view of the Tulgao and Dananao Rice Terraces can be seen at the viewpoint. Palan-ah falls and hot springs - this waterfalls is located at Tulgao West, Tinglayan.

No. 0916-716-2337 Data Source: Provincial Government of Kalinga Department of Tourism - CAR PROVINCE OF MOUNTAIN PROVINCE BRIEF HISTORY The history of the province is replete of intriguing past as many varied stories and circumstances were recounted by elders. Suffice it to say that the origin of the province has not been recorded. Spanish exploratory attempts to conquer Mountain Province were made between 1566 to 1665. Total subjugation of the area was never achieved throughout the three (3) centuries of Spanish rule because the fierce, warlike and hostile Igorots and formidable travel obstacles intimidated the Spaniards. Spanish occupation of some portions of the Cordilleras ended on September 3, 1899 when the Spanish headquarters in Bontoc was taken by Filipino forces. Some brave Igorots joined their lowland brothers in the fight against the Americans in 1898. After the establishment of the civil government during the American occupation in 1901, Mountain Province became a special province of the Philippines in 1907. Bontoc-Lepanto, Amburayan, Ifugao, Kalinga, Benguet and Apayao comprised the sub-provinces. Samuel Cane, the provincial supervisor, was appointed governor and Bontoc was made the capital town. In 1908, the old Mountain Province was created with seven (7) sub-provinces which later was merged into five (5) provinces: Benguet, Ifugao, Bontoc, Apayao, Kalinga (BIBAK). In 1967, the division of these five ADDRESS Poblacion, Tabuk Bulanao, Tabuk Bulanao Campus Bulanao, Tabuk

provinces gave birth to four (4) new provinces namely: Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga-Apayao and Mountain Province. The sub-province of Bontoc retained its name Mountain Province and maintained Bontoc as its capital town. On March 25, 1967, Mt. Province became an independent province. Then President Ferdinand E. Marcos, appointed and inducted into office the first provincial officials. This new province came into operation on April 7, 1967, hence, this day is celebrated as Mountain Province Day. On June 15, 1987, Mountain Province became part of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). I.
