The Kalinga people, who reside in the highlands, have garnered a reputation as the foremost rice farmers among the Cordillera people. Their land boasts some of the most fertile soil for both wet and dry rice cultivation. Like their Ifugao counterparts, the Kalinga are known for their remarkable prowess in building intricate and expansive terraces to support their agricultural practices.
Moreover, the Kalinga are esteemed for their exceptional craftsmanship, displaying mastery in diverse artisanal skills such as basketry, loom weaving, metalsmithing, and pottery.
Their pottery tradition, in particular, thrives in the lower Chico River Valley, serving as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and artistic expertise.
