Facebook user N. Martinez commented: “Cordillerans are really good-looking, not just in Sagada, but even to some parts of the region.”
“Madaming ganyan na taga Cordillera... Guapo talga ang mga igorots at magaganda pa... Go carrot man,” Facebook user A. Delos Reyes wrote.
“Those are the physical features which are so common in our igorot land...more igorots to be discovered!” D. R. B. Come added.
The Igorots or Cordillerans refer to the Austronesian ethnic groups in the country inhabiting the mountains of Luzon. Known as highlands people, they live in the six provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) including Mountain Province, Kalinga, Abra, Ifugao, Apayao, Benguet as well as the city of Baguio.
Marky Cielo, the first known Igorot in Philippine showbusiness, became a household name after winning the Starstruck competition in 2006. In December 7, 2008, the budding star was found dead inside his room in Antipolo City. His cause of death remains a mystery but persistent reports claim that he died of suicide.
