"Isnags' are living at the riverside of Apayao. Among all the cordilleran, they were the last to give up being the head hunters. They are divided into two groups: 'Imandaya' and 'Imaldo.' They do swidden cultivation before and replaced with wet-rice technique in their farmlands. During the time of swidden farming, the men are the ones who cleared the forest and the women who would plant and harvest rice.

I never knew about these tribes. Does the tribe(s) still exist these days? I hope some of their cultures are still preserved.

They did not disappear. The only thing that had changed is not wearing their traditional clothes.

I agree. The local tribes have different roles in farming or their villages.
