I was raised in Pangasinan and I don't recall them half-naked when threshing rice stalks. That's because rice chaff makes skin itchy. The half-nakedness are for chores like cutting logs, fetching water, fishing or carpentry.<br /><br />Still, thanks for these pictures.

I was in fact able to capture it on photograph but unfortunately on a very low resolution digital camera 5 years ago but to see our farmers during this activity is just a golden experience. I like the first one best, but most of your shots are really breath-taking.
