Here's my XU journey...

Naka pasar sa entrance exam pero conditional status sa akong gipili nga course...

Gidawat ra sa dean...

Applied for scholarship...

Granted...

Nisulod sa XU nga feeling nako naa kos laing kalibutan. Nag struggle ug fit in kay perti kalahi ang ilang lifestyle sa akong gidak an. Pero pinaka swerte kay napadulong sa School of Education nga pinalangga kaayo ang mga students ug nakaila ug mga bag ong tawo nga gidawat ko isip usa ka Lumad...

Nag sugod nag struggle sa daily expenses....

Naapil sa CHED Tertiary Education Subsidy grantees nga wala nako gi expect kay wala ko naka apply, pero kay palangga ni Magbabaya, iyang gihatag sa akoa...

Almost included in the Dean's list ...

Got included in the Dean's list ...

Nag struggle sa online classes pag pandemic tungod kay dili stable ang internet connection sa bukid ug ignorante pa intawon sa bag o nga platform...

Nag struggle every time mag recorded teaching demonstration labi nag naay isda-isda nga budots ang music ug muagi ...

Na stress ug ga anxiety attack na ...

Kaundangon na...

Nagpadayon ...

Nilahutay...

Nag malampuson ...


Behind those struggles and success, aduna gyuy mga tawo nga genuinely niduyog sa akong journey.

This victory will not be possible without you!

The first day of the month welcomed the Bansalumads with optimism and hope.

In the morning, the Heart of the Talaandig Ancestral Territory started the first meeting of the month whereby Bukidnon Provincial BM-IPMR Atty. Arbie "Bagani" Saway Llesis attended. He discusses on the updates by his works in the province as the IPMR. He further discusses on the spirit of the tribe whereby peace and harmony among beings is very important as it is connected to its culture which is considered as life of the tribe. He also talked about the five pillars of kinship which is embedded in Talaandig way of life such as Kilalaha, Buliga, Sayuda, Pabatun-batuna and Uyaga.

During the afternoon, the people of Kalasungay and its Council of Elders (Talaandig, Bukidnon and Higaunon) welcomed him at Kalasungay, Bukidnon. The people are inspired by his work in discussing BansaLumad, solutions and hope for the tribes and its manifestations for the future.

67th Anlaw ta Sumilao

Bukidnon Provincial BM-IPMR Atty. Arbie "Bagani" Llesis spoke on stage to the Bansalumads in Sumilao regarding the information and update on his vision and work on upcoming IP Code, BansaLumad, Provincial IP Tulugan (Tribal Administration Building) and IP Guest house.

The people in the event (mostly Talaandigs and Higaunons) agreed to his suggestion to use the term BansaLumad as a substitute to the term Lumad. Derived from the word Bansa which means honor, pride and dignity and in Filipino means nation. Bansa and Lumad when combined, showcase that the Lumad (Indigenous Peoples) are not just ordinary people but they are worthy to be proud of their identity. They should honor themselves because they are peacemakers. Sacred covenants be dignified just as themselves especially to the people of Sumilao as they are the keepers of the Ring of the ancestor that shines in their homeland the reason why the land is called "Sumilao" which means shining.

From Lumad, they now call themselves BansaLumad. Indigenous culture was still alive despite the strong influx of modernization and change. They are the first nations in their territory since time immemorial.

Potentials of Indigenous Peoples Development

There is something universal about the culture of Indigenous Peoples. We are more familiar with our surroundings and environment where nature is closely connected to our life, our living traditions. We talk about cultural solutions that can be found within our communities. The potentials in everything that had been provided to us by the Creator. Where sustainable development is embedded within our culture, to our environment and to the universe.

These potentials can be applicable to the real world. Our food security that are abundant to feed our people. In everything that we do, when connected to our culture is somewhat practical and simple. Where our rituals are can be seen and attested with our senses, the symbols and prayers. Our own medicine that cured thousands of people for many generations and generations to come. Effective conflict resolutions that made our community peaceful since sacred customary covenants that still respected to this day. This is our way of life.
