Behold Bataan

Born from volcanic lahar?

That’s the story of Tubo-Tubo Island, an island shaped by lahar and mud, where mangroves eventually took root and transformed the landscape into a thriving natural haven.

Today, it stands as a reminder that nature has a way of creating beauty in unexpected places. Planning to explore Tubo-Tubo Island? For schedules and visit arrangements, message the Tubo-tubo Fisherfolks Association directly through their Facebook page.

DAYAW 2026 | Ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Mga Katutubo!

Ngayong Oktubre, ating ipinagdiriwang ang pagkamalikhain, mga kaalaman, at pagiging matatag ng mga katutubong komunidad sa bansa bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng mga Katutubo, alinsunod sa Proklamasyon Blg. 1906 na nilagdaan noong 2009.

Higit dalawandaang mga katutubo, cultural bearers, artists, mga guro at akademiko, kabataan, at kinatawan ng mga komunidad mula sa 41 clusters ang magsasama-sama sa Dayaw 2026 na gaganapin mula ika-13 hanggang ika-15 ng Oktubre, sa Foro de Intramuros Manila.

Sa temang “Pagkamalikhain ng Katutubong Filipino: Pinagtibay ng mga Pagsubok, Umaalab ang Bagong Pag-Asa” (Creativity of Indigenous Filipinos: Strengthened by Challenges, Igniting New Hope), layunin ng Dayaw na ipakita kung paanong patuloy na humuhugot ng lakas ang mga pamayanang kultural sa kanilang mga tradisyon, kaalaman, at malikhaing gawain sa kabila ng mga hamong panlipunan, pang-ekonomiko, politikal, at pangkapaligiran.

Tampok sa pagdiriwang ang mga programa para sa pagpapalitan ng kultura at kaalaman, kabilang ang:

Gawad sa Gabay ng Katutubo

IP Forums na nakatuon sa edukasyon, kalusugan, at kalikasan

Demo ng sayaw, paghahabi, at iba pang katutubong likhang-kamay

Kalutong katutubo

Kultural na pagtatanghal

Epiko at iba pang oral traditions

Ethnomedicine at iba pang kaalamang katutubo indigenous knowledge

Exhibitions at iba pang indigenous creative expressions

Higit pa sa isang pagdiriwang, ang Dayaw ay espasyo upang marinig ang boses ng mga katutubo – isang espasyo para dinggin ang kanilang hinaing, ipakilala ang kanilang mga realidad, ipalaganap ang mga kuwento ng pag-asa sa gitna ng hamon ng makabagong panahon.

Bilang pagkilala sa mga katutubong komunidad, patuloy tayong gumawa ng mga espasyong nagpapayabong sa mga pamanang kultural at kung saan maaaring umalab ang bagong pag-asa.
