Preserving Heritage, Building the Future: The Cordillerans of Palawan Advocacy Group (CPAG) 🪵🇵đź‡
We recently gathered for a strategic meeting to lay down the foundations of our growing community. As we transition from an association into a robust cooperative, our mission remains clear: to unite all Cordillerans across Palawan through sustainable livelihood, cultural identity, and the timeless spirit of Bin-nadang (Bayanihan).
Here are the key highlights and upcoming directives:
đź“Ś Cultural Pride: Official courtesy calls with the PNP City Director, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and BJMP Provincial Directors are set for June 23. Attendees will proudly wear traditional Cordillera attire or cultural identifiers.
🌱 Sustainable Livelihoods: We are building a dedicated product database and accelerating development for local innovations—including banana trunk textiles, mushroom/honeybee culture, tapy (rice wine), yogurt, and miracle fruit juice.
🤝 Institutional Backing: Partnerships and strategic sponsorships are currently being sought from DOST, DOLE, DTI, and the CDA to empower our upcoming cooperative model.
🗺️ Expansion & Unity: We are actively expanding our chapters across Aborlan, Narra, and Bataraza (including Estrella, Plaridel, Bagong Sikat, Antipuluan, Urduja, El Vita, and Bono-bono).
What’s Next?
Our next family "bring-and-share" meeting will be on July 11, 2026, at Ma’am Annie’s Beach in Simpocan (don't forget the music equipment!). Everything is building up to our grand foundation day milestone on October 2, 2026, where the official story of CPAG will be written for future generations.
Let us continue to practice Bin-nadang and lift each other up. Matagoan tako am-in!
