YE TUDA or Sabay Flang is the oldest living resident of Sitio Bakngeb in Tboli and was the first person to settle here She does not know how exactly how old she is but we know part of her story happened in 1915 when the River Cave opened up And so when I asked about the history of the place I was surprised to see her dictating about two pages of A4 very slowly to her grand-daughter It took almost an hour Little did I know that she had never told the story in full to anyone before but after I asked about the history she felt that she needed to keep the history alive and record it It is a story of how the Bakngeb River Cave was formed how it opened up and how this place was founded So we heard a piece of tribal history until that day untold - which is something very very overwhelming After that incredible morning I went to the nearby Tuesday Market which has products from 4 neighbouring barangays especially the awesome tribal coffee Then onwards to Hidak Falls a place I went back in 2016 which now has a partly improved road Part of it - we had to dig it so the pickup would pass Plenty of tribal dancing near water happened too - all in all a great exposition of the fantastic Tboli culture MERCHANDISE NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE Get it here - https shop spreadshirt com kumanderdaot Follow me on FACEBOOK - https www facebook com kumanderD Daily updates on INSTAGRAM - https www instagram com kumanderdaot If you want to EMAIL ME - anselmpb googlemail com Support me on PATREON - as little as 5 a month helps me create better content https www patreon com kumanderdaot LIKE MY MUSIC Get a free one month trial of Epidemic Sound This helps me out too https www epidemicsound com referral h8cbkx WANT TO SAVE ON INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER I've been using TransferWise for years It is absolutely the best option for quick and cheap remittances https transferwise com invite u anselmp 00 00 Intro 00 32 Bakngeb - An Introduction 02 50 Tribal Dance in the Allah River 04 13 The Story of Ye Tuda 09 49 Going to the Tuesday Market 13 44 Halo-Halo with Fresh Ube 14 28 The Road to Hidak 15 24 Me Shoveling A Road 16 52 Welcome to Hidak Falls Tboli Dance 18 15 Going to the Falls 18 57 Tribal Dance at Hidak Falls
