Скачать или смотреть Most Ancient Rice in the Philippines Harvested Once a Year (It's Disappearing)

In the heart of the Batad Rice Terraces in the north of the Philippines, Nanay Tessie leads a rare, once-a-year Tinawon rice harvest, preserving generations of Ifugao heritage. Located in an ancient UNESCO World Heritage Site, this heirloom sticky rice is harvested by hand with reverence, precision, and ancestral wisdom.

This is more than a harvest—it's a fading legacy of resilience, culture, and communal spirit. Witness the last living shaman, centuries-old practices, and why families like Nanay Tessie's play an essential role in preserving this tradition.
