Mangyan Culture Thrives

The Mangyan Cultural Exhibit is on at Mahatma Gandhi International School from March 8-12, 2010 and if you have the time, please visit us!

I have included the Mangyan Heritage Center Official Website on my sidebar just in case we have visitors interested to read more about our brothers from Mindoro. Our newsletter says it briefly and concisely:

"Mangyan is a collective name for eight highland tribes from Mindoro, who not only maintained their original cultural practices, but managed to preserve original writing. Scripts of two of the tribes are recognized as National Treasures, and inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Registers."          
That's all for now but with this post I was introduced to more ideas regarding cultural activism that will influence and direct my future postings here.
