EMOTIONAL REUNION IN BUKIDNON - Visiting Ancestral Home Of Talaandig (BecomingFilipino)

IT WAS A EMOTIONAL REUNION WITH MY FRIENDS FROM THE TALAANDIG TRIBE IN LANTAPAN BUKIDNON...
The way this community is open to sharing their culture, and they beautiful music and dance... it really can be overwhelming in such a positive way. On this GRIND Program (Grassroots Innovations for Inclusive Development) "SalikLakbay", we were invited to the Talaandig community. Visiting their home, I was fascinated listening to one local and his bamboo flutes. We look into a little bit of Adlai wine, interact with the community, and enjoy the positive vibes of Mindanao!
I am so thankful for the moments we share with my Talaandig friends here in the Philippines...
Saliksik - Research
Lakbay - Journey/Adventure
This GRIND program is absolutely awesome! And I encourage everyone to look it up on Facebook: / grinddost
Power On!

Wow, The Philippine National Anthem in a native language is just heart-melting! Thank you, Talaandig tribe! Thank you Kulas. We wouldn't have heard this if not for you! Thank you!

[@wtb472]

I wish someone would record Filipino indigenous people playing their music and make this available online for purchase. It can help raise funds for indigenous communities.

[@illoc]

Cordillera music already available online and physical format like vinyl as well.

[@AngryKittens]

@@illoc There is so much more than Cordillerans though. I want a record of EVERYTHING before they are lost. The Lumad, the Tausug, the Maranao, Maguindanao, Sulodnon, Mangyan, Ati, Aeta, Sama, etc. Very few northerner Filipinos even know what Lumad culture looks like.

[@edzeljereza8234]

Thank you Mr. Jennerman for showcasing various indigenous tribes of Mindanao and of the Philippines in general. I've only read about these subjects in textbooks as a youth growing up in the late 60s, 70s and early 80s as we didn't have the technology we have now....through the power of social media, you are the medium that brings these to us even though a whole lot of us your followers are in various parts of the world.

[@bellarosemontero1800]

The flutist played beautifully. The sound from the bamboo flute was so melodious (6:42 till 7:30). I felt like listening to it longer. Oliver Mumulaay can record his flute music and share these online. Such wonderful music to me. Thank you for sharing Oliver's music, Kulas. Appreciated the flute music a lot!

[@BecomingFilipino]

He really is unbelievably talented!! so wonderful

Wow, first time i heard "Lupang Hinirang" in a different Philippine dialect. Makes real sense since Filipinos are not just Tagalogs. Thanks for showing that. Way to go, Kyle!!!

[@maryannmendoza273]

Hi Kulas.. Thank you for this fascinating and very informative video showcasing various talent of indigenous people in this tribe. I would like to extend my appreciation especially to Oliver who played a beautiful music for his tribe and for us. His talent is exceptional. Please let me know how, even in small way, be able to reward him and to let him know that we appreciate his talent.

[@marvinureyantiquina8818]

Got chills hearing the double and triple flutes. That guy is a genius.

[@christopherturco197]

Thank you so much for showing this!!! This was truly special to see. I enjoyed seeing the dances and hearing Oliver's beautiful flute music. How fun to see the young children learning their dances and being a part of the welcoming ceremony along with the adults. It reminded me of my time with the University of Hawaii Fil-Am club and learning various Filipino dances. Those are some of my fondest memories, and they make me wish I could be there enjoying the Talaandig culture along with you and Kumar and be able to learn their dances, too.

[@alreyes1877]

I was born and raised in the Philippines and Mindanao is foreign to me, never set foot once and it is with sadness and regret by not doing so. Thank you Kulas for the opportunity to see the inner beauty of the country. Preserving such important cultures for all to keep and appreciate.

[@happiness4vr]

Much appreciation for the amazing cultural experiences and heartfelt community from the wonderful Filipino people. Appreciate all the cultures from around the world and much respect.

[@jpoldcasurferdude7262]

Thanks for making my day…..so many smiles, laughter and good vibes. You make me appreciate the 43 years I have spent with and within the Philippine culture…

[@atlantafan1156]

Interesting to see the costumes. As a child growing up in Mindanao in the 50’s and 60’s, I remember that most of the indigenous tribes in Mindanao wore woven “patadyong” or “ malong”, and the men were often seen in woven shorts and vests made of native fibers. Some wore gold bracelets. It was sad that a lot of folks in the city often looked down on them. My friends would try to mimic the ladies by trying to use the betel nuts for lipstick. My family had an “agong” to call us back to the house for meals. Mindanao was very pristine. I remember my father commenting each time he saw slash and burn”methods used upland, “ there goes the mountain.” So glad to see the preservation efforts - both culture and environment. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

I feel the same way Kulas I feel privileged when someone shares part of their life with me. People are so interesting. We all learn from each other.

Thank you Kulas that you featured the Talaandig tribes. I hope more informations spread out about Talaandig musics, dance and cultures. They are one of favorite tribe. I hope Talaandig tribe and all the indigenous people or tribes all over the Philippines are being protected and preserves thier cultures.

[@noelc.santos7989]

Kyle, I see how much you have a close conection with the tribe and respect for their traditions and culture. This is a good video because it brings, opens and welcomes us, your viewers, to the other side or what is beyond the mountains or lives that are meaningfully full of simplicity. 👍🏽Oliver, the flute guy, is amazingly creative and talented. I hope he would share or teach or hand down this knowledge to the next generation.👏🏼 Openly and truthfully sharing one’s life, specially from a good leader and person, is more interesting and has substance. We learn from them. 👌🏼Thank you and Power On!

Hi mate, loved your latest Video, just one thing please, can you put up what the acronyms you used up on the screen. I’m fascinated in your stories and trying to google the acronyms dosen’t work to well. Keep teaching us about the indigenous culture of the Philippines. Terry - Canberra Australia.

[@edwinwerdna7061]

Just throw your questions and the rest of us will try to give you the answer.

[@JohnSmith-bz9be]

I think I remember you coming to this tribe before where you joined in the frog dance if I remember correctly. I find the "frog dance" interesting as I do like frogs; very chilled and relaxed creatures. BTW, I loved the ladies tribal headdress. I am glad these tribes are getting the respect they deserve for their tradition and showcasing themselves. Many cultures and traditions from small indigenous tribes are dying off across the world due to environmental and economic matters, but with the right support and mutual respect, I believe certain cultures and tribes will endure. In 15 years' time, I expect to see this tribe flourishing, and not diminishing. Long live GRIND and the Talaandig community!!!! BTW, you look really settled now in your new home. It is all coming together. This year is far from over and 2022 can still get even better for you guys over there.

[@mikemikie8312]

Hi Kyle as I have always informed you this kind of video you did here are my very favourite I just love it when you take us all to meet ,listen ,hear and learn about these tribal folk I'm so grateful to you as your really one of the only one's that reach out and show the history and way of life of these wonderful people thank you so much .

And those are the primitive people of Bukidnon. The Lumads and the Higaonons in Misamis Oriental. And the Negritos in Negros that came in Africa AKA ita and the aeta in Luzon are the people that came in Africa. And they had a rice terraces on the mountain in Lantapan same in Banaue there is a rice terraces on the mountain 🌾🌾🌾⛰⛰⛰ And those indigenous people you met them 6 years ago.
