As to where they get their bubod from? Well, they buy them when they go to the Philippines for a visit. About why they're shipped to Montana, it's possible that Montana is just a dumping ground and from Montana, they get shipped to other parts of the US.<br /><br />Sometimes, it amazes me when Igorots get out of their way to bring the bestest they can when they come visit their relatives in the US. It takes someone like me to be honest and say, "Just bring bubod and rice and a bottle of Tanduay Rhum". Just make sure you declare them at the customs. It does makes the Igorot community happy at some point (that is when the tapuey gets fermented). Igorots are everywhere for one thing(contrary to what lowlanders think of course).

You got me there. Americans, for the most part, are clueless about the Philippines (and the rest of the world for that matter). <br /><br />Its good that Igorots continue to make tapuey even when they are abroad. (I wonder where they get the "bubod"?) So the demand, as you say, may be among Igorots in the U.S. But then, the rice is being shipped to Montana. Are there that many Igorots there? Or do they ship it first to Montana, then ship it again to other parts of the U.S.?<br /><br />Thanks! Ha ha. You got me there.

Entonces, more Igorots wanting to make tapuey in the US. Seriously, the Americans are not aware that we do grow "red" rice in the Philippines. I should know.
