CONGRATULATIONS, OUR FUTURE TEACHERS!

We've seen you leave as early as 6 AM, carrying your backpacks and materials, and come home exhausted. And now, all your hard work has paid off!

Did you know that BAMATA scholars enjoy 100% free tuition? They also receive free accommodation, utilities, including internet access, and tools such as laptops and printers. Most importantly, they actively serve God. Also, the late Datu Kalamboan Pastor Bhen Andaya believed in a holistic approach to education, where scholars not only excel academically but also learn to become effective leaders.

The Manobo Banowaon and Talaandig tribes are looking up to you. We are proud of you! 👏

🌿 CELEBRATING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES MONTH 🌿

❗We have the right to govern ourselves.

Our traditions, customary laws, and Indigenous institutions are the foundation of our strength. We do not wait for others to decide our future for us.

We lead. We decide. We resolve conflicts. We protect our people, our culture, and our ancestral lands.

Self-governance is more than a right. It is our identity, our responsibility, and our strength as Indigenous Peoples.

This Indigenous Peoples Month, we honor our right to self-determination and the power of our people to shape our own future. ✊🏽🌿

He was not only Datu Kalamboan, but for many, he was Pastor Bhen, a missionary, an evangelist.

Last April 2, 2026, these brave men received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. To God be the Glory!

"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" Matthew 16:26

After the heinous and senseless death of our beloved leader, Datu Kalamboan, our community has taken steps to strengthen security and protect our people and our ancestral domain.

Thank you, Pastor Price Grant, for standing with us and for your support during this difficult time.

We would also like to sincerely thank Sir Dave, Sir Ricky, Ma’am Myrna, and Ma’am Berns for being the bridge and helping make this support possible. Your kindness, presence, and support mean so much to our community.

We are truly grateful for everyone who continues to stand with us as we protect our people, our ancestral lands, and the legacy of Datu Kalamboan.

We will continue to protect what belongs to our people. We will continue to stand for our rights, defend our ancestral lands, and protect our resources from those who seek to exploit and abuse them.

We will not be silenced by fear. We will remain united, vigilant, and committed to carrying on the legacy of Datu Kalamboan.

Congratulations Norway! Meanwhile, AGUSAN DEL SUR RANKS AMONG TOP PROVINCES IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR TOTAL TREE COVER LOSS, HAVING LOSING APPROXIMATELY 128,000 to 133,000 hectares.

While Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur are campaigning for agriculture, illegal loggers continue exploiting our resources thru deforestation. Unsay say ni Gov Sante Cane ani? Murag wala man!
