This is a major tourism problem in general. Tourism has been so abused for profit while its sustainability remains compromised. I hope that Sagada can put an end to hit and run tourism one and for all.
โI am not unsustainable; I am on holiday!โ moral disengagement and the holiday mindset of young travellers during a cruise
Findings show that young tourists often do not behave sustainably on cruises and use coping mechanisms to disconnect from their unsustainable actions. Managers in the tourism industry should focus on communication strategies that appeal to tourists' sense of responsibility and emphasize the enjoyable aspects of sustainable behaviors.

Enjoy Sagada on foot!
โFew people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.โ

Sangi, a Sagada Igorot woven bag that is also used to carry rice to be brought to a gobbaw (Sagada Igorot naming).
The gobbaw is performed by the old men (laklakay) when the umbilical cord falls off from the navel of the baby. It is a sign that it is the right time for the baby to be given his or her Igorot name, and so a pig has to be butchered for this milestone.
Women usually bring a woven basket filled with rice as a gift, and get a piece of meat in return.
On the day of our son's gobbaw, women took turns in holding Capuyan (Santiago Isaganiโs Igorot name).
Rice was poured into a sack as guests arrived one after another. Some brought laundry detergent (for the lampin or cloth diaper), baby toiletries, baby clothes etc.
We had the gobbaw at our grandmother's house and when we were about to leave, she said that in the past it was just rice, because that's just one of the basic things that you need to survive, all your baby needs is food to eat, clothes to make him warm and a shelter over his head.
