I am obsessed with the barrel man. IFYKYK

“National Artist Kidlat Tahimik in his research in the 1990s on the barrel man took note of a widely held belief that the barrel man was conceived as a "form of protest" against Westerners. It is believed that the Ifugaos created the barrel man in the 1900s to mock the American colonizers who caused the displacement of the Ibalois. Tahimik himself posed as a "living barrel man" as a social commentary to advance a message that colonizers corrupted the "native sensibility".^{” (Wikipedia)}
