Answer:
1. The selection is all about Ifugao's Rice Terraces.
2. I felt amazed because of the astonishing and jaw dropping descriptions of this Rice Terraces. There's a feeling inside me that urges me to visit there someday.
3. The Ifugao Rice Terraces epitomize the absolute blending of the physical, socio-cultural, economic, religious, and political environment. Indeed, it is a living cultural landscape of unparalleled beauty.
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.
Reaching a higher altitude and being built on steeper slopes than many other terraces, the Ifugao complex of stone or mud walls and the careful carving of the natural contours of hills and mountains to make terraced pond fields, coupled with the development of intricate irrigation systems, harvesting water from the forests of the mountain tops, and an elaborate farming system, reflect a mastery of engineering that is appreciated to the present.
The terraces illustrate a persistence of cultural traditions and remarkable continuity and endurance, since archaeological evidence reveals that this technique has been in use in the region for 2000 years virtually unchanged. They offer many lessons for application in similar environments elsewhere.
The maintenance of the living rice terraces reflects a primarily cooperative approach of the whole community which is based on detailed knowledge of the rich diversity of biological resources existing in the Ifugao agro-ecosystem, a finely tuned annual system respecting lunar cycles, zoning and planning, extensive soil conservation, mastery of a most complex pest control regime based on the processing of a variety of herbs, accompanied by religious rituals.

4. I think the Rice Terraces is not only helpful in the productions of rice but it is also a great spot for every individual who loves nature. It is a great example of land-use which is a combination of cultural, social, economic, environmental, and religious aspects resulting to a beauty beyond compare ifugao's aesthetic landscape,the Banaue Rice Terraces.
5. Yes, I think the preservation of Ifugao Rice Terraces is important because this is also important for the indigenous people who depend their staple food and livelihood from this Rice Terraces.
