My home lies within the 7,000+ islands of the Philippines — Luzon.
Mankayan, Benguet to be exact.
Although raised on the amazing island of O‘ahu for the past 15 years,
I’ve never once forgotten where I come from.
My mother’s land is my motherland,
and because of her I can say that we are mountain people —
Igorots.
