AND SO WE DID IT! We are honored to have brought Slow Food Community - Barlig to the Mangan Taku Festival 2026! Despite the lack of financial resources and the limited time for preparation, we brought ourselves and our products together and proudly shared stories, lessons, and practices that make Barlig truly a haven of biodiversity, and rich food traditions.
We are grateful to the DOT-CAR led by Director Jovi Ganongan for this incredible platform to showcase our unique produce and products - from wild forest tea, rainforest grown coffee, organic heirloom sugarcane, forest fruits and vegetables, and more!
I am equally grateful to our community members for willingly sacrificing their time and efforts with pride and ingenuity. Thank you Maam Imelda Biluan, Shannon Siano, Justin Cawi, Shaina Poschor, Jestle Ngaya, Hannah Mae, Jorlitz Tagapong, Nefa Tagapong and others! We made it together as a team and I am proud of all of you 😇😇😇
Iyaman also to our Kailiyans from Lias, Barlig centro, and Kadaclan who made time to visit and support our booth and to our Tourism Officer Jennifer Arud for being present!
This is just the start and next year, let’s make this even more meaningful and impactful. For our land. For our water. For our people. For our culture!
We build on this participation and move forward with bigger impacts for everyone!
