Has anyone been to the Panabenga Festival in the Phillipines? The parade features the Igarot Hunks, cute guys in skimpy outfits who dance and well, what more I don't know! That's why I am asking.

(You might fast forward through the second one!)

I have seen boys dressed like this in Baguio. However they were not real Igorot, just regular local Filipinos chosen for their good looks and muscles, pretending to be Igorots, just like in the videos here above. It attracts tourists.

Today's Igorot are a mix of the Austronesians (the people that populate most of the Philippines) and the native Aboriginals (who look similar to Australian Aboriginals, now can be found only in the mountains), and depending which of the Igorot tribes they come from there is more or less mixing.

Which such light skin, I would question these guys' Igorot origins :-)

But they are hot, I would totally do most of them, no problem. 

 

Thanks for that information. I guess I can settle for the guys there even if not real Igarots!
