Ruel Alintao, 30, a proud Matigsalug from Marilog, Davao City, is one of the first fellows of the Pagsibol TVET Program of Pamulaan. As the only son in the family, he carries the responsibility of caring for their 9-hectare ancestral land โ€” a source of both livelihood and hope for their future.

Driven by his dream to improve their farm and community, Ruel completed a three-month Agriculture training where he strengthened his skills in sustainable farming and innovation. Through Pamulaanโ€™s support, he received cacao, coffee, durian, vegetable seeds, and Tangungon abaca to help develop the Alintao Farm.

Applying what he learned, Ruel successfully produced 1,000 banana seedlings through tissue culture propagation using available farm resources. From selling 500 seedlings, he earned PHP 15,000, while his abaca production generated around PHP 30,000 within four months. Today, he continues to care for his growing farm while serving his community as a Pastor.

More than building a sustainable livelihood, Ruel has become a source of inspiration and guidance for neighboring farmers who now seek his advice and learn from his journey. His story reminds us that when Indigenous youth are empowered with opportunity and support, they become catalysts of hope and transformation in their communities.

Rex Brainer Otordoz, 22, a proud Matigsalug young farmer, is one of the pioneering fellows of the Pamulaan Pagsibol TVET Program.

Inspired by his parentsโ€™ tireless dedication and entrusted with 4 hectares of land, Rex chose to pursue farming with purpose. Through the 12-week Pagsibol training, which concluded on December 10, 2025, he gained practical skills in sustainable agriculture and agroforestry while strengthening his pride in his Matigsalug identity.

After completing the program, Rex established and continues to develop his Otordoz FAITH and Agroforestry Farm with his family. With support from Pamulaan, he received cacao and coffee seedlings, fruit trees, vegetable seeds, and essential gardening tools to enhance his farm.

By applying what he learned, especially in cacao rehabilitation- Rex is already seeing results. He has harvested 36 kilograms of cacao beans, generating PHP 10,390.00 in income. It is a clear evidence of how knowledge can translate into opportunity.

Rexโ€™s journey reflects the transformative power of culturally grounded, skills-based education. His story is just one of many, as Pagsibol TVET Fellows continue to cultivate not only their farms, but also a more sustainable and empowered future for their communities.

For 25 years, Pamulaan has walked hand in hand with Indigenous communities across the Philippines. What began as a simple dreamโ€”to serve, to learn, and to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples has grown into a beautiful journey of hope, resilience, and shared purpose.

Through the years, we have listened to stories of struggle and strength, witnessed communities rise with dignity, and seen young Indigenous leaders grow with courage and pride in their identity. Every step of this journey has taught us that true development is rooted in culture, community, and collective care for one another.

This milestone is not only Pamulaanโ€™s story. It is the story of every Indigenous community, partner, volunteer, elder, youth, and friend who believed in this mission and journeyed with us.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for your trust, your solidarity, and your unwavering support. Because of you, this journey continuesโ€”stronger, deeper, and more hopeful than ever.

May the next years continue to be guided by the wisdom of our elders, the dreams of our youth, and the shared commitment to build a future where Indigenous communities live with dignity, cultural pride, and sustainable livelihoods.
