Nationality: Filipino
Region: Mt. Province
Tribe: Ifugao
I came here when I was 12 years old with my family. Raised pretty much in Northern California. Made my first trip back home after 18 years. I've been back home a few times now and then. Discovered I loved traveling after being in the 8 years in the Air Force. So I took a job that allowed me to travel to places such as China, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, etc....
Famous member in our family is my Great Great Grandfather who was a Tribal Member of Onnop Kiangan Ifugao during World War 2. He was one of the Natives recruited by the American Forces to take part as a guide and charge towards the last stronghold of General Yamashita of the Imperial Japanese Forces in the Mountainous Regions of Ifugao.
Here's a picture of grandmother's tribal village deep in the mountains. It takes almost half a day to hike to our village from the main town proper.
