Bakle'd Kiangan 2007
Bakle’d Kiangan 2006
Julongan, a village in the municipality of Kiangan, Ifugao, will celebrate bakle, the culminating ritual of the rice production cycle, on August 26, 2006.
Bakle is conducted after all the rice has been harvested, usually in July to September. It is the time to feed the Bulul, the rice god. The villagers pound diket, or glutinous rice to be made into rice cake called binakle. Aside from this pig and chicken are butchered for food to be served to the community people and visitors from all over.
