00:48Decades have passed,

00:49the Panday has remained alive in this place.

00:53The life of this place is proved by the family of Tatay Andoy,

00:56who has been farming for four generations.

00:59There are a lot of people who farm here.

01:00There are only a few people who farm here,

01:02because there is no land to farm.

01:06There are farmers,

01:07that's why they have a sideline,

01:09but the Panday is the one who farms here.

01:12This is the hut that Tatay Andoy inherited from his grandfather.

01:17I've been doing this since I was in grade 6.

01:20My grandfather was from Ilocos.

01:22My father learned it from him.

01:26My father and I learned it from him.

01:31The Bolo industry of Tuguegarao

01:34started with the settlers from Ilocos Norte during the colonial period,

01:40when the Ilocans migrated to Cagayan and Tuguegarao.

01:47Barangay Larion Bajo in Tuguegarao

01:50is the home of a lot of panday.

01:54Their well-known product is a sturdy Bolo
