There were coolers everywhere filled with melted ice and rotten meat all over his house. In the living room, hallways, dining room. The smell was sickening. Still wonder why he and his family did that

    There are actually a variety of Cordilleran etags with different processes in making. Here's some of what I know as an Igorot:
    Etag (clean) - salted and sun dried with cover to prevent flies and wrapped with paper after sun bathing for atleast 3 days.
    Etag (raw) - salted and sun dried until maggots devour the decayed parts.
    Sabeng - stored in sealed claypot soaked in lard and salt
    Kiniing - smoke dried (salted or not)
    I don't know of the other processes but these are actually my favorites.

    The lady was born in around 1918? Then she was around 27 years old by the time WW2 ended? Now that's fascinating.

    I remember in middle school, we had a new girl named Ricci (Richie) who came from the Philippines. She was gorgeous, intelligent, and SO cheerful.
    I remember when she brought this ziplock bag of what looked like shredded string cheese for lunch.
    I asked for some, and she told me it was squid. Like, squid jerky.
    It was so weird. And memorable. And I have craved it a few times in my life since then.
    All I had to give her was a lousy peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

    Your viewers will surely come and visit her, thanks to your docu. She is amiable and a Filipino icon. She is jolly once you strike a good conversation with her and when she is in her "zone". Thanks Sonny and I hope people will come and visit her while she is still with us. Greetings from the Philippines.

    Whang-Od is from a remote village in the Cordillera region of the Philippines. It's in the mountainous interior north of the Philippines which has never been conquered and administered by the Spanish throughout their three centuries of stay in the country. Even during the American regime, government institutions and services arrived later in her area. That means registries of births , deaths, and marriages were nonexistent in her area when she was born.
    Like most elders like her, Whang-Od most probably estimated her age. The usual practice is to base from their approximate ages during WW2. (i.e "I was this size during the war, so I was probably xxxx y/old"). In that process, many over- or under- estimate their actual ages some even by a decade or more.

    I absolutely love watching this channel and seeing what Sonny gets into next, but this episode just felt like such a cool adventure. It didn't have like a tourist feel to it if that makes sense. It was like truly stepping away from what most of us would consider our modern day and immersing into a place that has its own pace, rules, and a vibe that just works.
