Whole Pork Cooking in a Cordilleran Filipino Ritual (Etag, Kinuday, Tapuy)

We recently documented an unfiltered look into the Cañao ritual of the Cordillerans. It is a thanksgiving ceremony that is practiced by various indigenous communities in the Philippines that involves cooking a feast for the entire neighborhood.

On this second installment of this two-part series on the cañao, we highlight the sumptuous dishes that are served during the ritual. We devoured the best of Cordilleran cuisine—from cured meats (Etag, Kinuday), blood sausages (Pinuneg), and of course the revered rice wine (Tapuy), we cover it all!

Journey with us to the mountains of La Trinidad, Benguet and share this meal with our brothers and sisters during this sacred celebration of the cañao.
