Igorot people

Igorot (Ĭgerōt´, ēge-) , general name for the people of the Cordillera region, in the Philippines island of Luzon. The Igorot form two subgroups: the largest group lives in the south, central, and western areas, and is very adept at rice-terrace farming; the other group lives in the east and north. Some Igorot groups formerly practiced headhunting.

The Igorot Global Organization (IGO) is an organization of persons who trace their roots from the Central Cordillera (mountains) of Northern Luzon, Philippines, who choose to maintain the ethnic identity, Igolot or Igorot, literally meaning people of the mountains.
