Stone by stone. Generation by generation.

Elder Mamerto Tindongan reflects on their significance and the responsibility of preserving them for future generations.

The Bulul is more than a carving.

For the Ifugao people of the Philippines, it is a sacred guardian connected to abundance, harvest, ancestral wisdom, and the relationship between humanity and the Earth.

Its story carries an important reminder: when we forget what sustains us, we also risk losing our connection to it.

This is not only a story about the past, but about how we choose to value culture, memory, and tradition today.

Modernization moves fast, but not everything old is meant to disappear.

We are honored to welcome Mamerto “Lagitan” Tindongan of the Ifugao people to the World Tribal Alliance.

An 8th-generation Mumbaki and guardian of the Baki spiritual tradition, Mamerto carries a lineage deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom, sacred ritual, and harmony with the natural world.

After spending nearly three decades in the United States, he returned to his homeland in the Cordillera region of the Philippines to help preserve and revitalize Ifugao traditions — from restoring ancestral huts and cultivating rice terraces to protecting sacred healing practices and community knowledge.

His life’s work is a bridge between worlds: ancient and modern, local and global, spiritual and practical.

Through the Ifugao Center for Living Culture, Mamerto continues to ensure that these teachings remain alive for future generations.

We are deeply grateful to walk alongside him in this shared journey of remembrance, preservation, and connection.

Transformation is rarely one grand gesture. Sometimes it begins quietly in the way we speak, share, listen, and move through the world.

“When you’re sad, it’s like when you’re hungry —
you open your happiness and take a bite.
And if someone else is lacking, you share a little.”
