Adamic look











Although it was three months ago when I visited Ifugao, the natural beauty of the ranges of mountains and hills is far to forget nor erase from my memory. It was first in this high range that I feel so natural to expose even my adamic look second to the sumo wrestlers's way from Nagoya, Japan.

Ifugao and Togakuchi in Nagano are quite similar. Their rich in natural beauty are high. Tugakuchi is more of high cedar trees planted by the monks of the Shinto. Some trees have an age of 900 years accordingly. The rice terraces meanwhile in Ifugao are also mounted by the forefathers of the 3rd floor about 2,000 years ago..

But the maintenance of both differs.

It is now obvious that the rice terraces are degrading because of the inhabitants and the less if no-budget offered by the government to preserve the ecstacy of the rice terraces.

Togakuchi has the monks. It was not the government but the faithful monks where their temple is located in the peak of the mountain in the place, who keep the maintenance of the supreme beauty of the nature.

Maybe, it is here where Filipinos should learn. To recognize a historical place is to recognize the responsibility manifested to preserve it as we appreciate the look and magnificence of the place. The government may have other priorities in their mind aside from their personal interests.

Kelan kaya dadami ang mga taga 3rd floor na handang magpustahan ng buhay upang maipamahagi sa susunod na henerasyon ang angking ganda ng kanyang rice terraces na eto?
