As the clock ticks past midnight and we officially welcome July 15th, our hearts turn to the majestic Cordillera Administrative Region!
Today, we celebrate Cordillera Day, a truly special occasion that honors the vibrant spirit, enduring resilience, and profound cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples who call these breathtaking mountains home.
The Cordillera Day is a reaffirmation of our identity, a tribute to our ancestral lands, and a warm embrace of our traditions passed down through generations. It is a moment to appreciate the rich tapestry of languages, the intricate artistry of our crafts, the rhythm of our dances, and the wisdom embedded in our way of life.
From our very own Kalinga tribal communities to every indigenous cultural community woven into the fabric of the Cordilleras, your strength, your stories, and your connection to the land inspire us all. May this day be filled with joy, unity, and a deep sense of pride in who you are and where you come from.
Happy Cordillera Day to all!
May the essence of the Cordilleras continue to flourish and light our way.
