B'laan are one of the indigenous peoples of Southern Mindanao in the Philippines. They are famous for their brassworks, beadwork and tabih weave. The people of these tribes wear colorful embroidered native costumes and beadwork accessories.
Ifugao are wet-rice agriculturalists occupying the mountainous area of northern Luzon, Philippines. The term “Ifugao” is derived from “ipugo” which means earth people or mortals or humans, as distinguished from spirits and deities. It also means “from the hill,” as “pugo” means hill.
