Frankly, they look really eerie to me.It’s the same feeling when I went home to Sagada,(didn’t grow up there so m not desentisized)had Mass at Saint Mary’s and saw these tourists taking videos and kailians seemed oblivious of these people with cams encroaching on private/sacred moments. Being treated something like novelty items, or those wax figures of long dead movie characters in a funhouse along Hollywood. My personal feeling..

Are these costumes for real, or were these “retouched” by some designer to emphasize some kind of cultural statement? Examples of real ka-igorotan costumes are those worn by subjects of Eduardo Masferre’s photographs — minimalist, utilitarian and a throwback of those days where there was no celphone, TV set nor asphalted road… when mountains were mountains to climb and rivers, rivers to swim in.
