Begnas di Padog 2009

Begnas di Padog
a Celebration for the start of the Sowing
location: "Picong" Demang
date: November 8, 2009

Every year, at no precise date, Sagada celebrates a unique cultural festival. It happens 3 to 4 times a year, designed to start or end different cycles of events.


At the "Dap-ay" the younglings simultaneously butcher the Pig, the Dog, and the a Chicken.



"lakay" bawing of patay keeps his tobacco on his head while conversing with the "begnas" celebrant "lakay" Cadiogan.



The Boys marching their way to the dap-ay while the Ladies followed.
