Going Tribal in Bukidnon is a Facebook page that i have created yesterday.
This turned out to be such an exciting thing to do :-) I can write about my cultural heritage and share it to the friends that i have on this wonderful networking site called Facebook.
I guess you can say that i am growing up and finding a lot of adventure in the FB world.
My father's first cousin, Waway Linsahay Saway, came and visited us in Manolo last summer while we were there. He has been to visit my family a few times before.He sees my Tito Vic (my Dad's younger brother) more often as Tito traverses the del Monte plantation fields constantly and Tito would swing by the ancestral village of Songco to visit.
I have not been to Songco yet but hope to visit a few days the next time we are home in Manolo.
The FB group i have created is put together for these reasons:
1. To help promote the products that the indigenous Bukidnon people create with skill and beauty. They have very pretty woven mats, beadwork (necklaces, earrings etc), music, paintings etc...
2. To help sustain their livelihood and a culture that is easily eroded by the modern times. I do have to say that Tatay Waway (as many calls him) has done a great job of incorporating the modern world into supporting the traditional livelihood of the culture. With the use of modern gadgetry he has printed and created his music without having to compromise his native artistry.
3.To allow people to see and participate the cultural heritage that is thriving in the mountains of Bukidnon.
So come and look us up in Facebook! Look up Going Tribal in Bukidnon!
