Description

From the Itneg tribe, it was once believed that Kabunian, a sky being, had a special cave filled with treasures. Inside the cave were copper gongs and jars that could talk. But for the women, the most valuable of treasures was a precious tree blessed with agates. The Itneg people believed women would climb the mountain to harvest these agates. Showing how abundant our land was with minerals, without greed, there was plenty for people to share.
