Initial comments
There are two slightly different versions of the origin of the names in the article: In the header: It is named after the term "i-pugo" (which means i-from/people and pugo-earth thus people of the earth). In History: The name is derived from the word “IPUGO”. Pugo means “hill” while the prefix “I” means “from”.

This is confusing. I cannot decide which is correct, maybe there is someone who can correct it? --193.247.244.34 16:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

First Yu-yu Congress
Ifugao on June 13, 2008 hosted at the Bahawit Nursery of Lagawe, the "First Yu-yu Congress" to improve food production. “Yu-yu" is the freshwater fish raised in their rice terraces (a good source of protein and calcium). Also known as “jojo" or “juju" in Ifugao, it is a vermiform (worm-like) fish which feeds on insects and organic detritus, introduced by the Japanese decades ago (called “panispis" or short for Japanese fish).www.gmanews.tv, Ifugao holds first yu-yu congress to conserve rice terraceswww.pia.gov.ph, Ifugao holds 1st "Yuyu" Congress--Florentino floro (talk) 08:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Losing the Essence of Indigenous Words and Expressions
The natives of a central northern Luzon province of the Philippine Islands called themselves Ipugo meaning "I" coming from "pugo", hills,thus Ipugo accurately describes the natives - coming from the hills. The Spaniards who came in the 1600s preferred to call them Ipugaw. Some three centuries and 80 years later, the Americans took over the Philippine Islands and just as capricious as their predecessors, opted to call them Ifugao. In the process, the essence of the natives' name got lost.

And so it was for the bastarded Itawit of northeast Luzon who the imperialists preferred to call Itawes. The indigenous name of the natives, Itawit is derived from "I" meaning people coming from and tawit/dappit, across the river,that is it describes the Itawit as people from across the river (referring to the Cagayan and Chico rivers). The elevated areas of the rivers' floodplains are settled by the Itawit which to this date, cover the municipalities of Piat, Faire, Tuao, Enrile, Solana, Tuguegarao, Penablanca, Iguig, and Amulung.

The incompatibility of calling the natives and their language Itawes is further confirmed by one Itawit characteristic where foreign words in place of "es"and "s" endings end in "t" or "it" instead. Some examples are, "Afu Dios", an Ibanag-Spanish for Lord God is Afu Diot in Itawit, Spanish name Tomas is "Tumat", Luis, "Luwit", and Nicolas, "Kulat". (Ibanag is a kin language of Itawit.) Also, Itawit equivalent of Ibanag words invariably end in "t". A few examples are, "dupo", banana is "bahat" in Itawit, "fulo", struggle, "fulat", and "allo", stream or mercy, "allat".

A consciuos crack at whimsical changes in indigenous callings and names is an effort to avoid the loss of the profound meaning of words and expressions of our forebears. 119.92.30.251 (talk) 15:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Si or I- is a personifier and marker in the philippine language group,it is also used as an equivalent of -ian or -ese a synonym for this is Ka- like Kagayan(Gaddang),Kabalen(Kapampangan),Kankanaey but I think Ka- and I- are interchangeable or synonyms which are common in regions north of NCR or non like in Sugbuanon which is commonly used in Southern philippines,in short you can use Ka instead of I- like for example Ipugo and Itawit can be called Kapugo and Katawit but the usage of I- form became the standard one,Ka- is more used than that prefix in Philippine Languages nowadays like in Kapamilya,Kapuso.

regarding this talk page

 * Wikipedia expects users of this article to discuss the improvement of the article about the province of Ifugao. You may want to transfer the discussion on Talk:Ifugao language. But remember: only discuss matters that will help improving articles, not improving the language itself. Thanks.-- JL 09  q? c|undefined 13:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I already had fixed it.--Kasumi-genx (talk)

Correction,I- and Ka- are synonyms which means on,of and from but Ka- is more used.---Kasumi-genx (talk)

Peer Review Anthro 116S
Perhaps adding more information on the archaeological implications of carbon dating that suggest the site being built later would help readers to understand if later means later in BC or AD. This article is heavily geared towards a historical approach rather than anthropological approach, so including more about the Ifugao people and customs associated with this region would be beneficial. The entire section on “Rice Culture” does not cite a single source, so providing more sources and citations here will help this section to be considered sound.

Peer Review Anthro 116S
Under the weather patterns it seems as though not much information is present. Perhaps the addition of certain weather statistics for the area might be a little more informative than just a simple sentence. Assuming this information can be found, I believe that it might help add to the article just a little bit. Villaarturom (talk) 06:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
