Travel Site Claiming Chinese Built Banaue Rice Terraces Criticized by Filipino People
The Filipino people slammed the travel website “Lonely Planet” after claiming that the Chinese build the Banaue Rice Terraces.
The travel website “Lonely Planet” received massive criticisms from the Filipino netizens after featuring the famous Banaue Rice Terraces.
The video was claiming that Chinese people build the popular Banaue Rice Terraces around 2,000 years ago.
The Filipino netizens were quick to respond and correct the Travel guide stating Banaue Rice Terraces is found in the Philippines and built by the Indigenous Filipino people in Ifugao.
On Monday morning (April 1, 2019), the website removed the controversial video and has yet to issue a statement regarding the issue.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) described the green pasture as a living cultural landscape that can be traced thousands of years ago
“The Ifugao Rice Terraces are the priceless contribution of Philippine ancestors to humanity. Built 2000 years ago and passed on from generation to generation, the Ifugao Rice Terraces represent an enduring illustration of an ancient civilization that surpassed various challenges and setbacks posed by modernization,” UNESCO said.
