UNSEEN HANGING COFFINS (First YouTube Footage) ????Sagada, Philippines
The final chapter in my Philippines travel vlog series of exploring the mountain province in Cordillera, Northern Luzon. You're going love love what we found.
We're on the search for hanging coffins in Sagada. As a foreigner in the Philippines, I was told I should go to echo valley to see the famous hanging coffins of the Igorot people. This area gets hundreds of Filipino tourists from Manila, Baguio City, and across the country every day. On Fearless & Far, we're always on the search for the next level. The deeper experience. The adventure that challenges us.
I met up with my guide Chris and Angdung and we grabbed our machetes and hiking boots, and dove into the jungle. Looking for other sites that others have not visited in a long long time. We found exactly that.
The unique death rituals of the mountain people of Cordillera are not for the squeamish.In all my philippines travel vlog experiences, this was perhaps the most shocking and interesting topic I have come across.
While there are hanging coffins in China, and also similar practices in Indonesia, there's nothing quite like what happens here in Sagada, Mountain Province.

The Hanging Coffins of Sagada: Hanging With The Dead | Travel The Philippines
The Hanging Coffins of Sagada are a must-see in Northern Philippines. The dead are put in coffins, but instead of being buried in the ground, the coffins are nailed into the side of a cliff. The people of this region have kept this tradition alive for thousands of years, and it still happens today, although on a much smaller scale. The influence of Christianity has caused most to be buried in the ground in a cemetery these days, but when all the criteria is met a person might ask to be placed among the others hanging far above. The ritual involves the whole village, the butchering of a number of animals, and the passing along of the body to everyone hoping for bodily fluids to leak onto them (It's good luck).

PHILIPPINES: BENGUET: MUMMIFIED REMAINS OF A PAST LEADER
Tagalog/Eng/Nat
Up in the mountains of Benguet in the northern Philippines, townsfolk are busy preparing for a homecoming.
The mummified remains of a past leader will be returned to them next month, an event highly anticipated by his descendants.
The art of mummification -- practised by the Ibaloi tribe in the 10th century to preserve royalty -- ended with the arrival of the Spanish in the 15th century.
The mountainous province of Benguet, in the northern Philippines.
Tucked inside its caves are rare treasures in which the people of Benguet, particularly the Ibaloi tribe take great pride.
It is in these caverns that the remains of their forefathers are kept within wooden caskets.
Mummified, they survive through the centuries protected by the rock walls.
The mummies were discovered early this century by loggers who were clearing the mountains from timber and pinewood.
It is believed the Ibaloi tribe, known to have settled here since the 10th century, practiced mummification as part of a pagan ritual.
Only bodies of royalty or tribal leaders were preserved.
Immediately after death, the body was placed on a high chair in a sitting position.
Family members blew tobacco smoke through the mouth to preserve the internal organs.
Then, while it was being rubbed with herbs, the body was exposed to a low flame in order to extract its oils.
When finished, it was sun-dried and placed in the coffin.
Anthropologists say the process took months.
The practice went on until the Spanish introduced Christianity in the 15th century and mummification was replaced by underground burial.
Anthropologists who have studied the mummies are amazed at what they have found.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Philippine mummies are quite unique in the sense that, first, we know already the Egyptian technique of mummification, that everything is removed, the internal organs, the brain is being removed during the process before it is treated with some chemicals, so all the internal organs are removed. But our mummy is different because everything is intact, not even a single tooth, or single hair is removed.
SUPER CAPTION: Engineer Orlando Abinion, Curator for Conservation, National Museum
The Kabayan mummy cave is one of two sites in the Philippines that was included in the list of 100 Most Endangered Sites for 1998 and 1999, compiled by World Monuments Watch.
Since the National Museum took over the welfare of the caves in 1973, they have documented 28 mummies, all mostly in tact.
Abinion says there could have been more, but unfortunately some were stolen and others were vandalised.
Coffins in this cave tell the sorry tale of graffiti.
Even the skulls were not spared by the vandals.
SOUNDBITE: (Tagalog)
Some people buy these as antiques, and so some people steal the finger nails, teeth and even skin of these mummies.
SUPER CAPTION: Musi Malsino, National Museum Security Staff, Timbac Mummy Caves
These mummified remains are particularly venerated.
They are of Apo Annu and were believed to have been stolen in the 1920's but in 1984, they were donated to the National Museum.
The provincial board approved a resolution last year seeking for the return of all stolen mummies, especially Apo Annu, who was of high birth.
Now, his descendants in Benguet look forward to his homecoming.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
When mummy Annu was lost, the place where it was stolen was punished. Punished in a sense that productions of their agricultural produce reduced. Some mountains were destroyed. If it (Apo Annu) will be returned, (it will bring back) a lot of graces.
