Grant Description

To document the Hudhud and Alim epics of the Ifugao people, two traditions passed down orally from generation to generation and recognized by UNESCO as masterpieces of the intangible heritage of humanity.

The project, which involves the audiovisual recording of chants and their transcription and translation into three languages, builds upon an AFCP project funded in 2007 to support the preservation of the Banawe rice terraces, a World Heritage Site.
