A brief history from the locals. The coffins were positioned at the mouth of this cave for the belief that light coming in will protect the soul of the deceased from bad spirits. It is noticeable that the coffins are small for a full grown adult because the corpses are placed in fetal position liked in the womb, believing that they should leave the world in the same position as they entered it. #itsmorefuninthephilippines #philippinesfirst #bernpauadventures (at Sagada)
