The Province of Apayao is one of the six provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). It is located at the northwestern part of Luzon. It is bounded on the East and North by the Province of Cagayan, on the West by the Province of Ilocos Norte and Abra, on the South by the Province of Kalinga. (Figure 1 Regional Location)


==History of Apayao, Philippines==
==History of Apayao, Philippines==
Article below was copied verbatim from Wikipedia
Despite being one of the first areas reached by the Spaniards in the Cordilleras, Apayao, inhabited by the Isneg tribe, remained mostly beyond Spanish control until the late 19th century. The Dominican friars established a mission in the present-day town of Pudtol as early as 1610. In 1684, they made unsuccessful attempts to convert the locals and built a church in what is now Kabugao. The remnants of these early churches in Pudtol and Kabugao still stand as silent reminders of the unsuccessful Spanish occupation of Apayao.


Although Apayao was among the earliest areas penetrated by the Spaniards in the Cordilleras, the region, inhabited by the Isneg tribe, remained largely outside Spanish control until late in the 19th century. As early as 1610, the Dominican friars established a mission in what is now the town of Pudtol. In 1684, the friars again made vain attempts to convert the people and established a church in what is now Kabugao. The ruins of the early churches in Pudtol and Kabugao still stand as mute testimony to the failed attempts to occupy Apayao.
In 1891, the Spanish authorities established the comandancias of Apayao and Cabugaoan, which covered the western and eastern parts of present-day Apayao. However, these comandancias did not exert complete control, and the Spanish government maintained only loose authority over the area.


The Spanish authorities were then able to establish the comandancias of Apayao and Cabugaoan in 1891, which covered the western and eastern portions of what is now Apayao. The comandancias, however, failed to bring total control and the Spanish government only maintained a loose hold over the area.
On August 13, 1908, the Americans created the Mountain Province through the enactment of Act No. 1876. Apayao, along with Amburayan, Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Lepanto, became sub-provinces of this newly formed province. Prior to this, Apayao had been part of the Cagayan province.


The Americans established the Mountain Province on August 13, 1908, with the enactment of Act No. 1876. Apayao, along with Amburayan, Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Lepanto, became sub-provinces of this new province. Before this, Apayao had been a part of Cagayan province.
During World War II, Japanese Imperial forces occupied Apayao starting in 1942, and the province remained under their control for three years. In 1945, Philippine Commonwealth Army troops, along with the military forces of the USAFIP-NL 11th and 66th Infantry Regiment supported by Cordilleran guerrillas, liberated Apayao from the Japanese occupation.


In 1942, Japanese Imperial forces entered Apayao, starting a three-year occupation of the province during the Second World War. Philippine Commonwealth Army troops and the military forces of the USAFIP-NL 11th and 66th Infantry Regiment, supported by the Cordilleran guerrillas, drove out the Japanese in 1945.
After almost six decades, on June 18, 1966, the vast Mountain Province was divided into four provinces under Republic Act No. 4695. The four provinces were Benguet, Bontoc (renamed Mountain Province), Kalinga-Apayao, and Ifugao. In 1972, Kalinga-Apayao, together with Ifugao, became part of the provinces comprising the Cagayan Valley region.


After almost 60 years, on June 18, 1966, the huge Mountain Province was split into four provinces with the enactment of Republic Act No. 4695. The four provinces were Benguet, Bontoc (renamed Mountain Province), Kalinga-Apayao and Ifugao. Kalinga-Apayao, along with Ifugao, became one of the provinces of the Cagayan Valley region in 1972.
On July 15, 1987, the Cordillera Administrative Region was established, and Kalinga-Apayao became one of its provinces. Finally, on February 14, 1995, with the enactment of Republic Act No. 7878, Kalinga-Apayao was divided into two separate provinces.


On July 15, 1987, the Cordillera Administrative Region was established and Kalinga-Apayao was made one of its provinces. Finally, on February 14, 1995, Kalinga-Apayao was split into two distinct provinces with the passage of Republic Act No. 7878.
The combined outlines of Apayao and Kalinga resemble a bust resembling the likeness of former President Ferdinand Marcos, known as the "Great Profile" during the Marcos Era, gazing towards his home province of Ilocos Norte, as described by the media.

Philippines, is the only country in the world which is 85% Catholic that created FIVE(5) national laws "favoring", "promoting" and "financing" the religion of ISLAM.
Then made it unlawful to finance all other religions. Islamic insurgents paid off the architects of the 1987 constitution to insert two words: Muslim and Autonomous.
They classify all the Muslims(Moros) not only as followers of Islam but also as
indigenous people. The only country in the world that has a government commission that caters to Muslims only, for the hajj, for madrasas, and the spread of Islam at government's expense PAID by the taxes of Non-Muslims. A government-run Muslim channel, Salaam TV to promote Islam.

Religion is always good for the people but it should never be embraced or financed by government. Tax exemption is not tantamount to financing. Every non-profit organization is tax-exempt.

Medicinal Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, as alternative herbal remedies, or in some cases even spiritual usage. A medicinal herb may be a shrub or other woody plant, whereas a culinary herb is a non-woody plant, typically using the leaves.


Medicinal plants are widely used in non-industrialized societies, mainly because they are readily available and cheaper than modern medicines. The annual global export value of the thousands of types of plants with medicinal properties was estimated to be US$2.2 billion in 2012. In 2017, the potential global market for botanical extracts and medicines was estimated at several hundred billion dollars

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

It is bounded on the East and North by the Province of Cagayan, on the West by the Province of Ilocos Norte and Abra, on the South by the Province of Kalinga. (Figure 1 Regional Location)

History of Apayao, Philippines

Despite being one of the first areas reached by the Spaniards in the Cordilleras, Apayao, inhabited by the Isneg tribe, remained mostly beyond Spanish control until the late 19th century. The Dominican friars established a mission in the present-day town of Pudtol as early as 1610. In 1684, they made unsuccessful attempts to convert the locals and built a church in what is now Kabugao. The remnants of these early churches in Pudtol and Kabugao still stand as silent reminders of the unsuccessful Spanish occupation of Apayao.

In 1891, the Spanish authorities established the comandancias of Apayao and Cabugaoan, which covered the western and eastern parts of present-day Apayao. However, these comandancias did not exert complete control, and the Spanish government maintained only loose authority over the area.

On August 13, 1908, the Americans created the Mountain Province through the enactment of Act No. 1876. Apayao, along with Amburayan, Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Lepanto, became sub-provinces of this newly formed province. Prior to this, Apayao had been part of the Cagayan province.

During World War II, Japanese Imperial forces occupied Apayao starting in 1942, and the province remained under their control for three years. In 1945, Philippine Commonwealth Army troops, along with the military forces of the USAFIP-NL 11th and 66th Infantry Regiment supported by Cordilleran guerrillas, liberated Apayao from the Japanese occupation.

After almost six decades, on June 18, 1966, the vast Mountain Province was divided into four provinces under Republic Act No. 4695. The four provinces were Benguet, Bontoc (renamed Mountain Province), Kalinga-Apayao, and Ifugao. In 1972, Kalinga-Apayao, together with Ifugao, became part of the provinces comprising the Cagayan Valley region.

On July 15, 1987, the Cordillera Administrative Region was established, and Kalinga-Apayao became one of its provinces. Finally, on February 14, 1995, with the enactment of Republic Act No. 7878, Kalinga-Apayao was divided into two separate provinces.

The combined outlines of Apayao and Kalinga resemble a bust resembling the likeness of former President Ferdinand Marcos, known as the "Great Profile" during the Marcos Era, gazing towards his home province of Ilocos Norte, as described by the media.

People, Culture and the Arts

The Isnegs, Ilocanos, and Itawits form the majority of the people living in the province of Apayao.

The Isnegs are the indigenous people of the province and are interchangeably referred as Apayaos. The term "Isneg" was derived from a combination of "is" meaning "recede" and "uneg" meaning "interior". Thus, it means people who have gone into the interior. The Ilocanos inhabit the river valleys and plains and most migrated into the region in the last fifty years.

Up until recently, the Isnegs were slash and burn agriculturists. They have increasingly abandoned the practice and have adopted intensive rice cultivation in stead. The Isneg are noted basket and mat weavers and the womenfolk trade their products for cloth, pots and materials from Ilocano traders.

Isneg women have been known to favor colorful garments for their traditional costumes, which consist of both small and large wrap-around pieces of cloth called the aken. The smaller piece is used as everyday wear, while the large one is reserved for ceremonial occasions. They also wear the badio, a short-waisted, long-sleeved blouse, which is either plain or heavily embroidered. Menfolk, on the other hand, are traditionally clothed in dark-colored (often plain blue) G-string called abag, which on special occasions is adorned with an iput – a lavishly colored tail attached to the back end.

Isneg oral tradition is rich with folk riddles. Many of these structurally simple but elegant two liners with a few syllables and rhymed at the end, present a riddle. Some Isnegs possess skills in traditional and oral arts, such as the magpayaw (shouters), the singers of the oggayam, and the debaters who joust with anenas (oral poetry). There are others held in esteem as musicians such as those who display prowess in playing the difficult gorabil, a bamboo violin.

Trade and Investments of the Apayao Province

source: www.oocities.org/lppsec/pp/apayao.htm

Apayao's development rests upon the foundation of its rich natural resources. Forests cover around 66% of its total land area, and produce timber, rattan and bamboo. About 19% of the province's land area is dedicated to agricultural production. Palay, coffee, corn, root crops and vegetables are the primary crops, while fruits such as citrus, bananas and pineapples are the main commercial crops. The province also raises swine, carabao, cattle, goat, chicken and duck. There are untapped deposits of gold and copper, phosphate, siliceous sand and shale. The total employable work force is numbered at about 43,000.

The provincial capitol, Kabugao, is accessible from Cagayan, Ilocos Norte and Kalinga via an 86-kilometer system of roads. The Municipal Telephone Project Office provides international and domestic telephone services. Local power cooperatives distribute power to nearly all the municipalities of the province and water is supplied by communal water systems, deep wells and dug wells. The Land Bank of the Philippines and a rural bank provide credit facilities within the province.

Apayao is anchoring its economy on its resource base but needs investments in key areas like communication, transportation, power generation, banking, and infrastructure. Agriculture remains the province's main potential. Marketing agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers, farm machinery, seeds and feeds offer a profitable opportunity for investors. Agriculture related manufacturing, such as food processing, can make use of the abundance of raw materials since the province produces banana, squash, corn, peanuts, beans, fruits and vegetables. Handicraft manufacture can also take advantage of the availability of forest and mineral resources like rattan, nito, bamboo, wood, marble and gemstones. The mineral resources of the province are also open to small and medium scale mining operations. The province's rivers can also be tapped for bottled water operations since most are classified as A-1 in purity. Apayao's tourism potential is hardly explored but given the natural beauty of the province, as well as the unique culture and heritage of the people, Apayao can cash in on eco-tourism ventures, adventure sports promotions and cultural tourism. Developing the nascent tourism industry in Apayao will need investments in hotels, restaurants, and tourist support services.

Natural Resources of Apayao, Philippines

Protect the environment

It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.

Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!


Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.

The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.

To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.

Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More


We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.

This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.
