Ifugao House, Museum of the Filipino People: Manila

Model of an Ifugao House
Ayangan House from Mayaoyao, Ifugao

The architecture of the Ifugao house, of which there are many varieties based on the different Ifugao sub-groups, is reflective of the geography of the region. The heavily thatched roof serves as the protection against the rains and cold weather of the region. This authentic house is the Ayangan heritage, a sub-group of the Ifugao people. Henengan was the ancient name of the municipality of Mayaoyao.
