BONTOC, Mountain Province -- The Sangguniang Panlalawigan
here has endorsed the resolution of the barangay officials of Barangay
Maligcong of this municipality requesting declaration of the Maligcong Rice
Terraces as national cultural heritage.
The SP noted despite remoteness of Maligcong, it is still
a favorite destination of both local and foreign tourists due to its
stone-walled rice terraces which make it unique and distinct from other
terraces in other places.
The Maligcong Rice terraces, built several centuries ago, was cited as
among structures in Mountain Province that embody and exemplify the richness
and abundance of the culture and history of the province and its people.
These terraces are proof of ingenuity, indigenous
engineering skills, workmanship and industriousness of the villagers, the SP
said.
A copy of the resolution was forwarded to the
National Commission for Culture and Arts through its chairman, Felipe M. De
Leon, Jr.
