𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!✨

We took the stage for our first performance of the year at 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, welcoming our new freshies through the vibrant rhythm of the Kalinga 𝑻𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒌/𝑻𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒌.

The 𝑻𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒌 is a traditional celebratory dance performed during life’s most joyful milestones, from budong/bodong (peace pacts) and grand feasts to welcoming new beginnings. Rooted in the word " 𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙠 ", the steady beat of the feet and the bird-like movement of the body carries a legacy that spans ancient warrior victory celebrations to modern community gatherings.

Just as the 𝑻𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒌 is danced to express gratitude and offer prayers for prosperity, we offer this performance to our incoming freshies. May your stay in our academic community be healthy, fulfilling, and filled with shared joy.

​To our dearest Manongs and Manangs — CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING WITH THE CLASS OF 2026! 🎉❤️

The years of hard work, sleepless nights, and tireless dedication have finally led to this moment. You have been the backbone of PAGTA as friends, leaders, mentors, and family. Through your volunteering and unwavering advocacy, you chose to stand with our Indigenous Peoples communities. You listened and you learned with and for the community. Your warmth and wisdom have transformed this organization, leaving an unforgettable mark on our hearts and ensuring that PAGTA remains a true home for many.

​As you step out into the world and begin your next chapter, we look forward to the paths you will carve. May you always carry the strength of the communities behind you, and may you continue to walk with the same compassion, conviction, and courage you have shown us here.

​We are deeply grateful for every ounce of love, time, and energy you poured into this family. We are incredibly proud of you!

​Always, for the good of all.

​Maki-ragsak kami kenyayu!

PAGTA-UPB joins in commemorating the 42nd Peoples’ Cordillera Day: “Ipinget ti Karbengan iti Daga, Biag, ken Kabiagan!” (Assert Our Right to Land, Life, and Livelihood)

This day, we honor our region’s historical journey in protecting land and life, rooted in the brave stand of Macliing Dulag against the Chico Dam project. As we remember, may we continue to move forward with commitment to community and self-determination.
