Tam-awan Village in Pinsao Proper, Baguio City uniquely blends indigenous aesthetics and exquisite Cordilleran craftsmanship with an artist’s concept for a village adapting to Baguio setting.
Chanum Foundation, Inc., founded in 1998, began to reconstruct Ifugao houses in Baguio with the view of making a model village accessible to people who have not had the chance to travel to the Cordillera interior. On a land near an abundant spring, the foundation started out with three knocked-down huts transported from Bangaan, Ifugao. Tam-awan village now has seven Ifugao huts and two Kalinga houses. Using the original materials and adding only new cogon roofs, traditional artisans reconstructed the houses and laid them out resembling the design of a traditional Cordillera Village.

This 40-foot tall Lion’s head was a team effort by a variety of representatives in Baguio City. The idea to carve a giant lion’s head into the mountain was thought up by members of the Lion’s Club circa 1960-1970. These members then contracted a group of engineers and miners to stabilize and prep the limestone mountain where the monument was to be carved. Finally, a Filipino woodcarver by the name of Anselmo Bayang Day-ag brought this idea to life.
