Hi there! Igrot is a group of people that live in the northern part of the Philippines. They have their own language, customs and traditions.

The Igrot people usually live in small villages called barangays. They are known for their amazing rice terraces that they built on mountainsides. They grow rice, vegetables and fruits as their main source of food.

The Igrot people are very skilled in weaving and wood carving. They make baskets, blankets, hats and even furniture using bamboo, rattan and other natural materials.

Their culture is rich in rituals and ceremonies. They believe in spirits, gods and goddesses that control different aspects of their daily lives. They have their own way of celebrating their harvest, weddings and funerals which are very colorful and festive.
