Eulalie Dulnuan explains that the region’s skilled woodcarvers typically come from the municipality of Hungduan, where carving talent is considered an innate ability rather than something formally taught. Although there are woodcarvers living and working in Kiangan—and even in Banaue, a popular destination for tourists—many of them trace their origins back to Hungduan. The story highlights how a strong cultural tradition of craftsmanship continues to shape the identity and reputation of Hungduan’s people.
