May this day remind us of the strength of our ancestors who stood united to protect our land, our culture, and identity.
With our theme “Securing the Future of a Unified Cordillera,” may we once again reaffirm our commitment to act with renewed purpose. Truly, our culture of unity as Cordillerans has always been and will always be our greatest strength.
Let us always remain committed in our aspiration of a United Cordillera while we preserve and promote our indigenous knowledge systems, safeguard our ancestral domains, and strengthen our governance anchored on binnadang, innayan, and mutual respect.
As we honor this milestone, may each of us be inspired to strive in building “a brighter dawn… for our children to call their own.”
