content: Eduardo Masferre (1909-1995) was born in the Gran Cordillera Central region of Luzon to a Spanish father and native Filipino mother from the Kankanai tribe. Between 1914 and 1921, the Masferre family lived in Spain, where Eduardo began his education. After completing his schooling in the Philippines, Masferre followed in his father's footsteps and became a missionary teacher and then a missionary administrator in Sagada. He began photographing the mountain tribes in 1934, documenting traditions that he feared would be lost. After World War II, he opened a photographic studio in Bontok, from which he sold his studio portraits as well as photographs of nearby villages. E. Masferre: People of the Philippine Cordillera, a book of Masferre's photographs published in 1988, was co-written by Maria Teresa Garcia-Farr.
