Answer to Question #232744 in English for Another you

Question

A. Identify two (2) Philippine cultural heritage under threat, one tangible and one intangible. For both, identify the threats and its cause, and then come up with a plan of action on how to deal with these threats.

Answer 1

The Rice Terraces of Banaue is an example of tangible Philippine cultural heritage that is under threat, while the Hudhud chants of Ifugao is an example of intangible Philippine cultural heritage that is under threat.

Explanation:

Erosion and the lack of interest in farming by the younger Ifugao generation threaten the Rice Terraces of Banaue. The plan of action is to reintroduce agriculture to the younger generation and to change their mind with respect to the protection of their tangible cultural heritage. The Hudhud chants, on the other hand, are threatened because those who know it are getting older, and the interest of the younger generation is also dwindling. To preserve it, the chants should be taught to a wider group of Ifugao.

The difference between tangible and intangible cultural heritage is that the former is a physical artifact maintained for years by a specific group, like buildings and artworks, while the latter can be a practice, knowledge, or skill known by a certain group, like songs, dances, or stories.
