Malaybalay city gov’t honors the late Cong. Warly Tilanduca

Posted on by cmn

The City Government of Malaybalay on March 22, 2023, recognized the late Congressman, Hon. Reginaldo “Warly” N. Tilanduca for his outstanding contribution to the City of Malaybalay, during the 25th Charter Day culminating program held at Kaamulan Folk Arts

Tilanduca, a three-term lawmaker during the 10th congress, representing the second district of Bukidnon authored House Bill No. 6275 for the Cityhood of Malaybalay.

He was a staunch public servant who also served as the Malaybalay Sangguniang Bayan member (1976-1980) and municipal mayor (1980-1986; 1988-1992) before he was seated in the congress. He chose to stay as a true son of Malaybalaynon in exchange for a lucrative profession as a renowned lawyer and certified public accountant.

25 years have passed and people have witnessed the progress and development. It is rightful and just to recognize the pride of Malaybalay, dubbed as the father of the City who authored the said house bill.

On February 11, 1998, the late former President Fidel V. Ramos approved and signed into law as cited in RA 8490, converting the municipality of Malaybalay into a chartered city.

The City and her people then celebrated Charter day on March 22. 25 years ago the voice of the people were heard through a referendum making Malaybalay the first component City in the province of Bukidnon.

In the program, City Mayor Jay Warren R. Pabillaran together with the City Officials presented and gave the token of recognition to the sister of Congressman Tilanduca, Ms. Aida Tilanduca-Solis.

Ms. Solis thanked the city government for remembering her brother’s stint as a public servant and leader. She expressed that the latter has great dedication and love for Malaybalay along with his great vision for the city. (PR)

Bukidnon’s Kaamulan opens with calls for unity

Posted on by cmn

MALAYBALAY CITY — Top officials of Bukidnon urged unity towards progress as the Kaamulan, a festival that aims to showcase the province’s indigenous cultures, formally opened on Saturday with a ritual and other colorful activities

Gov. Rogelio Neil P. Roque, overseeing his first Kaamulan as governor after winning the post in the May 2022 elections, called for a focus on positive similarities for the entire province.

He said lessons on unity could be learned from the indigenous peoples of Bukidnon, whose different traits have not stopped them from coming together [for the festival].

Kaamulan traces its etymology to “amul-amul,” which means to gather or come together in Binukid, the province’s indigenous language.

This year the festival carries the theme “One Bukidnon: A celebration of unity in cultural diversity.”

”Let us gather together in a peaceful brotherhood for a peaceful and prosperous Bukidnon,” Roque said, adding the focus should not be on individual music but on harmony, the music sum, which he said “is greater than the music played by individual parts.”

He urged Bukidnon’s 1.5 million residents in 464 barangays, 20 towns and two cities, and seven tribes to “bond” as “one Bukidnon.”

In the run-up to the May 2022 elections, then 4th District Rep. Roque ran with the slogan “Bagong Bukidnon” (New Bukidnon).

The governor also expressed hope for a better economy for the province after the pandemic, which stalled the staging of the Kaamulan in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

”Finally we can celebrate the Kaamulan… I can see our patronage of food and goods. I hope that our merriment may result in the rise of our economy, in business, tourism, and others,” he said in his remarks, made after the presentation of the contingents in the elementary category of the drum and lyre competitions.

Vice Gov. Clive D. Quiño thanked other officials and organizers for the staging of Kaamulan 2023 and offered thanks to God for stopping the pandemic and allowing the celebration.

He said the people of Bukidnon, like the seven tribes, are strongly united, understanding, and loving, which to him is the “spirit of Kaamulan.”

Earlier, Roque and Quiño led local and regional officials in the ribbon-cutting, which was done after the pamukalag, a traditional ritual led by baylans (shamans) and elders of the province’s seven tribes.

According to a briefing kit provided to the media, the pamukalag is a pangabli, or an opening ritual, which is traditionally done before any tribal activity is started. The ritual is done as a pangampo or an offering of aspirations and prayers to keep the Kaamulan activities away from accidents and other untoward incidents and for peace and order to prevail instead.

The shamans offered a pig and seven chickens of different colors in the ritual, the chickens symbolizing the seven tribes.

Datu Bagani Arbie S. Llesis, the indigenous people’s mandatory representative to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, said he is hoping for the passage of the IP Code in the province to ensure a budget for the IPs.

He said that since Bukidnon is now a “shared territory” of Lumad and non-Lumad, the IPs should be included in the province’s development.

He recounted the time when it was the Lumad who accommodated and helped the settlers when they arrived in Bukidnon.

He said it may be high time for the settlers to “return the love back to the IPs.”

”Gagaw (love in Binukid) is the spirit of Kaamulan,” he added. (MindaNews)

Kaamulan celebration canceled anew

Posted on by cmn

MALKAYBALAY CITY (Mar. 10) – Bukidnon Gov. Jose Ma. R. Zubiri Jr., for the second time, has canceled the grand Kaamulan celebration this year.

He informed the public about the cancellation of Kaamulan 2021through an advisory he issued on March 4.

He said the Province of Bukidnon, since it was founded in 1914, has always been celebrating Kaamulan. And this momentous gathering has become part of our tradition done annually to showcase the diverse and vibrant culture of Bukidnon.

“Unfortunately, since the covid-19 pandemic began and with the President’s declaration of State of Calamity in the entire country, the Province of Bukidnon has been placed under Community Quarantine. Following the guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), all forms of the gathering are strongly discouraged. The holding of Kaamulan was canceled last year 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the province, with hopes that the threat brought about by this will end soonest possible,” the Governor said in his advisory.

He said, “most of us are looking forward to celebrating Kaamulan this year; however, as much as I wanted to push this grand celebration, the public health and safety of the people has always been my topmost priority. This virus is no joke, and we have to take it seriously.”

On March 9, Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) member Datu Lorenzo L. Dinlayan Jr., chairperson of Provincial Consultative Body (PCB), said he had supported the decision of the Governor.

He said the decision of Gov. Zubiri aims for the protection of the Indigenous People’s community and the people in Bukidnon in general from the virus.

Meanwhile, Datu Richard D. Macas, Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR) to the SP on March 10, said, Kaamulan being a crowd-drawing event, must be on hold considering that we are still experiencing the pandemic brought by Covid-19.

“Though vaccines are coming, but strict health protocols are still implemented to prevent the spread of the virus. The cancellation is for the good of all local residents in the province and visitors. Hopefully, it will be pushed through next year or after 70 to 80 percent of the people will be vaccinated,” Macas said.

Kaamulan is an ethnic, cultural festival held annually in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

Kaamulan comes from the Binukid word “amul,” meaning to gather. It is a gathering for a purpose such as datuship ritual, a wedding ceremony, a thanksgiving festival during harvest time, a peace pact, or all of these together.

It is held to celebrate the culture and tradition of the seven ethnic tribal groups of the province comprising Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon, and Umayamnon.
