This composition created by teenagers is called “Sama Sama,” referring to the joy of community. Due to a torrential downpour, the song became a dance for all workshop participants. May the Tagbanua remember this joy in their togetherness as they unite to assert their ancestral rights over their lands. Thank you to the workshop organizers Cartwheel Foundation, Inc. Ateneo Human Rights Center MAGIS Creative Spaces and our CiH facilitators William Harvey Alize Francheska Rozsnyai, Soprano Lo Mares Music Rebecca Schlappich Charles and CiH donor the Michael and Mary Ann Wells Charitable Trust
