00:00In a small town in the town of Aguinaldo,
00:04a familiar sound can be heard every morning.
00:15But when I entered the place,
00:18I did not see an old man, but a young boy.
00:23At the age of 14, Eric is the youngest panday in the town of Aguinaldo.
00:33He only learned it last year,
00:36but he is already able to make simple knives and knives.
00:40Is it hard to be a panday?
00:43It's hard.
00:46My hands are like this.
00:49When you enter, it's hot.
00:54Even my eyes are hot.
00:57Even your eyes?
00:58Yes, my eyes.
00:59Oh, your eyes are hot?
01:00Yes.
01:01When the steel falls,
01:05it goes into my hands.
01:09It goes into my hands.
01:13Yes, ma'am.
01:16Of course, it hurts.
01:18So when you enter, what do you do?
01:22Of course, I don't do anything but endure.
01:27According to Eric's father,
01:29panday has long been forgotten in their place.
01:33But when the pandemic happened,
01:35and there was no way out of the house,
01:38they were forced to look for a way to make a living.
01:42The Tagaritos brought back the old tradition,
01:45no matter how hard the work.
01:47Why do you need to help your father in making panday?
01:51To save money.
01:54Because?
01:57For what money?
01:59For food,
02:02and to help me study.
02:06Now, Eric's entire family is in the business of making panday.
02:11Eric and his father make itak,
02:16while his mother makes ratan.
02:21Compared to the works of his father,
02:24who worked for many years,
02:26the itak that Eric made are not simple.
02:31But he also buys it from markets and souvenir shops.
02:39Aside from Eric's family,
02:41interest in making panday in the neighborhood of Alfonso Lista
02:45has also gradually returned.
02:50It started with the panday of 80-year-old father Odjina.
02:54But instead of making panday back then,
02:56he chose to farm.
02:59When farming became a part of his life,
03:02he was forced to return to making panday.
03:05When I started making panday,
03:08I didn't have any rice.
03:11When I was born, I didn't have anything.
03:14I didn't have anything.
03:17I didn't have anything to eat.
03:20I didn't have anything to drink.
03:23I didn't have anything to eat.
03:26I didn't have anything to drink.
03:29I didn't have anything to eat.
03:32I didn't have anything to drink.
03:35I didn't have anything to eat.
03:38Now, his children continue to make itak.
03:42Soldiers and policemen usually order itak for them.
03:54Conrad continues to teach and encourage
03:58the people of Banawe to re-embrace the tradition of making panday.
04:03He hopes that by teaching,
04:06the culture of their ancestors will be preserved.
04:15But there is not enough rice to make panday.
04:21But is it enough to pass on knowledge
04:25so that the ancient culture can continue?
04:32Before we left Ifugao,
04:35I asked Eric about his dreams.
04:38I was surprised to hear.
04:41What is your dream in life?
04:44To be a police officer, ma'am.
04:46Why don't you want to be a panday?
04:48Why do you want to be a police officer?
04:51How can you use what you learned?
04:55When you finish school, you should have a dream.
05:00It's hard to be a panday.
05:04You can't have a dream of being a panday?
05:07Yes.
05:09I remember what Conrad told me.
05:12Even if he wants to continue what his father started,
05:16if his view of them remains low,
05:19is there still enough rice to pass on the ancient culture?
