Punnuk is a traditional tug of war from the Philippines practiced by the Tuwali-speaking people who live in Hungduan, Ifugao.[1] The competition, held in Hapao River, is observed after the completion of harvest.[2] It formally puts to a close the farming cycle, and signals the beginning of a new one.[3]
