I wish you will join Tingog Lumad. Here, indigenous groups are encourage to use their own mother tongue in writing. Just join. Then, create a group for B'laan. In there, interested to write and learn B'laan langauge may join. It's up to you to create the group. :-)

hello Phillipe,
Good to hear the good pride coming from within the recesses of one's soul, one's cultural identity.

May the power continue to grow. Yes, it is powerful to be, just ourselves.

Members of B'laan and fellows, It is appealing to know that I get the chance to be a member of the group. My interest lies in our culture and traditions which has long been forgotten and almost gone into oblivion. The language originally spoken , matters as of now to us , thus it will reflect our true identity as Filipinos. To learn what we have in this B'laan tribe , perhaps give as a way to have a glimpse of our past. Learning from our history, and digging in our archaeological past, perhaps would give us some basis to the present understanding that Mindanao is for those people who are here and way beyond that who have joined together for peace and progress.

hello nilo, I don't intend to bother you with your studies but if your products are marketable maybe i can try to promote it or else otherwise it will serve me as my "faded glories artifacts" so to speak. And most of all what is there that you consider that would attract tourism in your area, is worth looking into? ok? May your tribe progress for a million years.

Halu Nilo,

Inviting you to join Lumad Sa Yuta
In Lumad Sa Yuta, a network of indigenous peoples, please do create a group "B'laan" so people will know that your tribe exist and much more it has its own beautiful culture.

Invite your B'laan friends as well.

Salamat,
Ghin Seloyan

hi nilo, in what part of south cotabato the b'laan tribe are heavily concentrated. I haven't been in this part of Mindanao yet and is very interested to blend and observed their culture and traditions. And what handicraft can you present? I hope you can post some pictures.
