MAN MADE RICE TERRACES


From afar they look like ribbons. The Ifugaos of the Mt.Province on the Northern part of the Philippines carved these on the sides of the mountains. In the olden times they had no machineries and no Engineers
from the Universities. Yet, the locals here were able to build a rice farm. How they produce the water and
how they design their water system is not a mystery but ingenious. It is vast that according to some books
if  those were connected the length is much much more than enough to circulate the globe if not double.
