The Talaandig Tribe of Sungco celebrates anually the Talaandig Day. Stories would tell that on October 14, 1975, the Government, through Marcos granted amnesty to several Talaandig Tribal leaders who joined the Lumad Uprising in Bukidnon protesting military abuses and land grabbing during those times.
Nowadays, the IPs of Bukidnon is still experiencing the same fate yet for generations, they still maintained the same resolve: Defending their culture and domain at all cost. We urge everyone to join us in our advocacy of upholding the indigenous people's rights!
As we also celebrate the Indigenous Peoples Month this October, may we also re-affirm our commitment to value the the rights of our Lumad brothers and sisters by respecting their culture and joining them in their effort to determine a future for their generation that is free, equal and just.
