        February, 2016. I always keep in touch with or check my Facebook and see my friends and family about what are they up too.  I saw a picture in my wall a simple but gorgeous guy...was curious checked and ask who is he. Then later, wooh almost his face is raining in the facebook wall. How did it happend? It was found out that local tourist Maam Edwina and Cheenee tooks shots while he's carrying the "tiklis" baskter full of carrots
and uploaded in their facebook walls; and in just a short time shares and likes  increased with just an hour.
       In short, the media and tv shows were curious. GMA team went straight to find the person behind the Carrot Man to satisfy the netizens. TV hosts like Kapuso and Wowin gave him the chance. (Thanks to them). Jerick Sigmaton "Carrot Man" is a native of Mt. Province an Igorot. Igorot's or Highlanders are proud of him his simplicity and his heart. I for one appreciate much this young guy. He united the whole, touched the hearts of his fellowmen because of his humbleness, everybody is inspired.

Pictures and shows of Jerick Sigmaton went viral also many igorots  are inspired  to promote their culture and fellow men  He has another display in his studio.
    Here is an artist (Jordan Mang-osan, an igorot too), he uses solar to portray the "carrot man".

He is famous in his Magnifying glass using solar . He promotes his culture. You can see/find his art works in La Trinidad, Benguet Philippines and other museums for sure.  Kudos to you Artist Jordan.
 

More artists are coming out too!!



This guy brings out again his love in painting. He promotes the Model Jerick.















Some medias became interested in Jerick's story too. In South Korea, he was compared with other actors and was appreciated in his looks. Model Jerick has potentials. We cannot deny that. We are hoping for his success in life, bringing his family and his people. He said in his interview thanking the photographers and saying because of his pictures, peoples had  interest in his province and to fellow igorots. I agree, his words,  of his heart to his family, hometown and neighboring provinces is there.  Around the world,  many are  igorot professionals,  high ranking officials and locals too in the KAigorotan are proud of their culture and hometown. Despite of some unpleasant criticisms, igorots would just shake off and keep climbing like climbing the mountains no matter what. Bottom line, we are just one in the Eyes of God. Pilipinong tunay maypusong makapamilya!!

Writing this I was also inspired now that I have a family here in South Korea, my kids have the blood of  Igorot where they can be proud of someday.
