Sorry for not updating this blog for the past weeks. I’ve been sick and didn’t have the energy to blog. Not a very good way to start the new year, no? Thanks to all of you for continuing to visit and adding your comments despite our absence. Will now try to catch up with all of you in the blogging world.
In the meantime, you might want to check out the following updates in our other home, kaigorotan.com.
Legend has it that Limahong, the Chinese pirate who raided Manila back in the 1500s, escaped to the Cordilleras when Spanish/Filipino soldiers regrouped to kick his ass out of the capital.
According to the legend, Limahong and his band of pirates sought refuge in the Cordilleras and married the local women. This supposedly explains why a lot of Igorots have some East Asian features. See above photos for instance.
Apologies to all of you. I’ve not been feeling well these past two weeks hence the blogging hiatus. Thanks to those of you who continue to visit. I will try to make it up in the coming days 🙂
