It is also said that payment for taxes in municipality of Sagada is much cheaper than in Manila thats why, the total tax revenue for local government is said to be below the regional average. Therefore , the reasercher conclude tat the local government and other agencies must forced their long term project for the sustainability of the employment in its locality. Buildings and infrastructure can be allowed but it must be according to local government ordinanace. The help of the Department of Agriulture is also needed to provide the local farmers an easy access to markets and buyers for their products for them to gain profit and lessen their expenses.

Sagada has its own identity because of its unique spots like the Sumaguing Cave and their Hanging coffins that makes them a hot spot for tourism consumption and let the tourist visit the area over and over again.

They still recall their ancestors that love the nature and preserve their tombs, traditions and culture and transfer it from generations to generations. But there are instances that the puriy of communitys sense of heritage is lost because of the modernization adaptd by the place, and one of its example is the way how the new generation dress themselves.
