Issues
The struggles to save Palawan (known as the
Philippines Last Frontier) is not only about saving trees
and rare species. It is also about nourishing the Filipino
cultural heritage, so powerfully represented by those
indigenous communities that after escaping Spanish and
American colonization (while resisting the new mining
imperialism now) continue to represent the living roots
from which all Filipinos originate. Therefore, environmental
plundering by mining companies is not only a crime
against culture, a sort of genocide that annihilates the most
profound roots of the Filipinos history and ultimately
plunders the cultural heritage of the whole nation!!!

To sing tultul is to be
possessed by a Tw Tultultuln.
These Epic Heroes are a type of
humanity who live in the median
space and intercede between
people on this Earth and mpugq.
They are a Benevolent Humanity
protecting the Real Man. The act
of chanting thus doubles with the
embodiment, in the very person of
the bard, of these heroic and semidivine Beings. One can interpret
this relationship as an act of
possession in which the bard
becomes a medium.
