Maayad ha maselem! Salamat tungkay ta-ini ha website n’yu. Hina-ut unta ha hadi umuran daw hadi mag-brownout para maglampus sa maayad ha Kaamulan Festival. Am very proud of the Kaamulan: A annual celebration to promote and preserve my culture and other indigenous culture in Bukidnon. I know cultural change is inevitable. Just hoping that catalysts wouldn’t force our indigenous people groups to change.
