Efforts to convert the people in Sagada to Christianity was not successful under the Spanish rule but made a progress under the US American rule. Sagada became a rare municipality in the Philippines where the majority of people are protestants (Episcopal Church).
This conversion may have had a huge impact on the people in Sagada. This photo shows that local houses are modeled after the Episcopal church on the hilltop. Townscape of Sagada was dramatically different from the photos of thatched-roof houses taken in 1930s - 50s by Eduardo Masferré, Filipino - Catalan photographer lived in Sagada. Not only the houses, but also people wearing western clothes looked very different from the Masferre's time and, if you do not know his works in photography, you would never imagine Sagada used to be a dream destination of anthropologists.
Sagada is a popular tourist destination for Filipinos thanks to its cool climate, landscape of pine trees and limestone formation, caves, and clean and cozy townscape. My Filipina colleague once mentioned that Sagada was like a small town in Sweden where she studied.
