"Never forget the roots of your family"
A little serious of our mind:
Try to imagine, that your grandchildren can´t speak with you in your language......
Learn your family the language of the roots, so your family - children can speak their language from childhood!
Learn your family the culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g. Mano Po!

Train relic Remark 2 sub-albums in the main-album Train relic in Luisita, San Miguel, Tarlac Uploaded by hilldenny on Jun 2, 2011: The only
information I have found about the train is that it was used back in the
1960s to deliver sugar cane. It's nice that they kept it and put it on
display. I doubt if there are many examples of 60s trains anywhere in
the world. - Just be patient and look the whole video

Bikers to heaven Ifugao wooden bikes Tourism seems to be gradually shifting the function of bikes from being a logistic need to a sort of choreographed F1 show the racing event which takes place in Imbayah, their festival. While so, tourism plays the important role of continuing the relevance of these wooden bikes for the Ifugao people, and in the part of the observers, having us realize the magnitude and depth of the different cultures outside of our urban backyards. – Paolo Abellanosa Look the article as pdf
