Weaving Culture, Enriching the Future

 The celebration of the Philippines’ National Indigenous Peoples (IP) Month highlights the importance of recognizing and valuing the country’s indigenous communities. With the theme “Weaving Culture, Enriching Future: Empowering Indigenous Communities as Bedrock of Sustainable Development,” the celebration reminds us that indigenous peoples play a vital role in preserving culture, traditions, and the environment.



Indigenous communities have long practiced sustainable ways of living that protect nature while meeting their daily needs. Their knowledge of farming, weaving, craftsmanship, and environmental care shows that development does not have to harm the earth. By empowering indigenous peoples, their wisdom can contribute to long-term and responsible national development.



This celebration also emphasizes respect and inclusion. Indigenous peoples deserve equal opportunities, recognition, and protection of their ancestral domains. When their voices are heard and their rights are upheld, they become stronger partners in building a more inclusive society.



Overall, National Indigenous Peoples Month is not just a celebration but a call to action. By honoring indigenous cultures and supporting their communities, we help ensure a future that is rich in heritage, sustainable in practice, and fair for all Filipinos.

THE DISCOVERY OF VIGAN HERITAGE

Image
  Vigan is the most intact example in Asia of a planned Spanish colonial town, established in the 16th century. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines and from China with those of Europe and Mexico to create a unique culture and townscape without parallels anywhere in East and South-East Asia. An important trading post before the colonial era, Vigan is located at the river delta of Abra River, along the northwestern coastline of the main island of Luzon, in the Province of Ilocos Sur, Philippine Archipelago. The total area of the inscribed property is 17.25 hectares. The traditional Hispanic checkerboard street plan opens up into two adjacent plazas. The Plaza Salcedo is the longer arm of an L-shaped open space, with the Plaza Burgos as the shorter.

I like doing things that let me be creative and learn something new...
