The Department of Tourism – Cordillera Administrative Region (DOT-CAR) joins the people of Bontoc, Mountain Province, in celebrating the recognition of the Maligcong Rice Terraces as a National Cultural Treasure by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) under Commission Declaration No. 2024-03.

The NCCA formally turned over a heritage marker honoring this significant cultural landscape on 19 October 2026 at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila. The marker was received by Bontoc Mayor Franklin Odsey and Municipal Tourism Officer Elizabeth Farnican. NCCA officials Maria Frances Quito and Jeanne Therese Maling led the turnover ceremony.

Nestled in the mountainous landscape of Bontoc, the Maligcong Rice Terraces stand as a testament to the ingenuity, resilience, and enduring traditions of the local communities who have cultivated and cared for these landscapes across generations. Beyond their breathtaking scenery, the terraces embody the Cordillera's rich agricultural heritage, indigenous knowledge, and profound connection between people and the land.

This national recognition underscores the importance of safeguarding the terraces not only as a treasured cultural landscape but also as a living heritage that continues to shape the identity and livelihood of the communities of Bontoc.

The Department of Tourism (DOT), through DOT-CAR, continues to support the promotion and preservation of the Cordillera's cultural and natural heritage by strengthening destination awareness, encouraging responsible and sustainable tourism practices, and working with local government units and tourism stakeholders to develop tourism experiences that respect local traditions and protect heritage resources.

As the Maligcong Rice Terraces gain wider recognition, the DOT also emphasizes the importance of community participation in ensuring that tourism contributes to local livelihoods while preserving the integrity, authenticity, and cultural significance of the site.

The recognition of Maligcong is a proud reminder that the Cordillera's heritage is not merely a legacy of the past—it is a living treasure that deserves to be protected, celebrated, and passed on to future generations.
