OF THE WEEK

Coffins in the Air
Even as the parents of
the 13-year-old girl at far right are natives of the idyllic mountain
resort town of Sagada, Mountain Province, it does not make her any less
fascinated with the mystic culture of the Kankanaeys of this mountain town
– of which the hanging coffins comprise a distinctive feature. Now
well-known the world over as the Sagada Hanging Coffins, this unique
practice is among the reasons Sagada is one of the most visited towns in
the Cordillera region. However, the practice is fast fading, making the
hanging coffins into simply a tourist attraction.
