Punnuk

Punnuk is a traditional tug of war from the Philippines practiced by the Tuwali-speaking people who live in Hungduan, Ifugao. The competition, held in Hapao River, is observed after the completion of harvest. It formally puts to a close the farming cycle, and signals the beginning of a new one.
