Nonoy, looks like you have a fine example there of an Igorot who going thru life lost his head along the way!
Shifting to Ilongots, the pics below are still from the Cornell website. Are these really Ilongots? (as sometimes, these old articles mistakenly name Filipino ethnic groups).
PS - Thanks by the way for clarifying the difference between Tingguians and Ilongots. It's the first time I understood it!
