I want to congratulate the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts through the Subcommission on Cultural Communities and Traditional Arts, the Mindanawon Foundation and the City of Tagum Tourism Council for gathering all the indigenous peoples of the country for this three-day event. I join the whole nation in hoping that this gathering in Tagum becomes a unifying event for us to collectively commit in the preservation and promotion of our rich culture and traditions. Sana’y maging tulay ang okasyong ito na ating mapalawak ang ating kaalaman at pagpapahalaga sa mga kapatid nating katutubo. Tayong lahat ay magkahawak-kamay sa paghahabi ng ating pagkakaisa tungo sa minimithing kapayapaan.
We as a people should immerse ourselves fully in the rich culture of our country. Despite the ethnic diversity of this archipelago, the social fabric of this nation by and large is one.
Sa ating mga kaibigang katutubo, kami po ay katuwang ninyo sa pagkamit ng inyong pangarap. Katulad ng aming ginagawa dito sa Tagum, itinuturing namin ang mga lumad na kaagapay tungo sa pag-unlad. Sa pamamagitan ng okasyong ito, sabay-sabay nating tahakin ang ang matuwid na daan.
Maraming salamat at mabuhay po tayong lahat!
