A glimpse into history: On February 2, 1935, Robert Larimore Pendleton captured this image of children walking along the Sabangan & Cervantes Road, 68 km north of Baguio, Philippines. This road served as a vital route connecting communities across Mountain Province and Ilocos Sur.

The photo, preserved by the American Geographical Society Library (AGSL) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, offers a snapshot of life in the Cordillera region during the pre-war period. It highlights the simplicity and resilience of rural life at a time when roads like these were essential for the livelihood and connection of the Igorot people.

This image has been colorized, bringing new life to a moment that reflects the enduring spirit of the Igorot communities.
