Thanks a lot avel for the blog.:) I can give you the digital file for our friends in the ME.

to Rue, yes we considered other titles but as per my friend Al Nezzar Ali of Holy Trinity, Walai is a term that majority of the tribe understood, so we adapted it without prejudice to the other tribes.
see you all at the KCC mall on friday at 10am. The Tiboli tribal dancers will be presenting some dance rituals for building houses cocktails will be served

Hope this reaches Michael Ang… If it is 18 settlements, I suppose this would feature Muslim and IP settlements? Not strictly Muslim? Then why limit again the exhibit title to just a Muslim term? Maiinis na naman sa akin si Michael nito… hehehe

The T’boli social history is very interesting. They burn houses where a death in the house occurred. They destroy the house where a wife or wives commit adultery… and many more about why they design this way or that way…

@Jess@, their next stop is the University of San Agustin in Iloilo City from February 21 to 28, 2009. I have no idea if they’re heading soon to CDO. Will ask the organizers. Thanks for dropping by.

@Rhey, mao jud. Hehehe! My grandparents’ house in Purok Malakas used to be like that too. Cool and airy at night. Takot lang kami sa mananggal at baka maglanding sa bubong. Hehehe!

Avel, I have already invited my sister-in-law and her friends stationed there at GenSan to have a special time to visit and view this exhibit. Will the organizers mount the same exhibit here at Cagayan de Oro City or perhaps here in Iligan City, too?

We should really promote the cultural heritage of our people so they will not vanish in the pages of our history. We have many ethnic tribes in Mindanao with their very colorful & exotic way of life. Exhibit like this brings us awareness of their existence and thus makes us understand and appreciate them better and we can be their partners in promoting & preserving their heritage... Amies last blog post..Thank You Avel

Bahay kubo,…the true “Philippine Architecture”. The archetype of a sustainable architecture. I can only wish to attend the event…sana nga lang nandyan kaming mga ME-based “General” Architects.
