All are barefooted, despite the rough, rocky roads over which they must travel. These primitive people, men in scarcely more than a G-string breech-cloth and women with the multi-colored plaid cloths wrap- ped about them, are all under-sized in stature. The tribes that live in the vicinity of Baguio are the Bon: tocs and Ifugaos, two of four separate tribes inhabit- ing the mountain province, each with dialects not understandable to each other.
