You see "authentic" Ifugaos (man, woman, and child) dressed in native costumes at Viewpoint. While taking scenic shots, they will approach you and offer to have your picture taken with them. Of course, you will oblige not knowing that there is a minimal fee (normally P30-40) per pose. Well, you will know it after when they extend their hand for the payment.

Before taking pictures, especially of locals in native costume, ask for permission. Some are camera-shy, while others do it for a minimal fee, around P30 per pose. The latter can be encountered at Viewpoint.

Unique Suggestions: Since the deed was done, pay and just laugh it off. Charge to experience, you have your souvenir shot, anyway.

Fun Alternatives: Well, before taking a picture where people is the subject, ask for permission first. Or, if someone approaches you offering their services, decline politely.
