Lang-ay

By now, Igorots, especially those who hailed from Mountain Province, Philippines and are now living in the far outskirts of Mother Earth know about the Lang-ay as there are a number of Publications about it in email groups and the internet. But for those who have no knowledge about it yet, it's basically a Mountain Province Festival - a week long festivity on the first week of April every year. I had the opportunity of attending the first one - I was there by accident, and did not know what to expect. In the end, I sure felt I was very lucky to be there. The second one, which according to what I read, and perhaps after deriving lessons from the first was even better. I missed this due to it's proximity to the IIC in Melbourn, Australia which occurred on the same month. I wished to have attented the two but financial and time reasons made me unable to.

Lately,in BIBAKNETS and Igorotnet, there were some interesting subjects related to the lang-ay. One of which is the suggestion of a Health Booth to be administered by the Mountain Province-Igorots overseas whom according to what I read are suggestedly will be representing a province to be called the 11th Province. I feel, it really does not matter how we'll be called. What matters to me, is to have a helpful and able-to-carry-our-goals health booth. And it's therefore the essence of this blog- for us to all voice with out trepidation all our great suggestions, with the ultimate goal of us going there and helping as much as we could as much people there'll be. So what say you....Are you there?
