SM City Baguio Highlights the Beauty of Cordilleran Tattooing

Panagbenga season at SM City Baguio means celebrating culture in ways that honor tradition. One of the highlights was a live mambabatok session featuring traditional Cordilleran hand-tapped tattooing. No machines, just skill, heritage, and stories carried through generations. It’s history, identity, and artistry coming together in one meaningful experience.

Seeing it up close is a reminder that these traditions are not just displays. They are living practices proudly shared with today’s community. Culture is not just remembered here. It is experienced.

Missed it the first time? Catch the next run from February 27 to March 1 at Level 3 and witness this powerful tradition in person.

As the Home of Everyday Celebrations, SM City Baguio continues to create spaces where stories, traditions, and people come together. For more Panagbenga highlights and upcoming activities, visit the SM City Baguio (official) Facebook page for updates. 🌸
