> 11 July 2013.

It was indeed a successful project. The heavy and unpredictable rain of Typhoon Juaning did not stop us. We were able to present to the officers our income generating projects for our fellow indigenous people there such as local products made from the place's raw materials that could be imported because of its world class designs and handmade. The people involved here are descendants from Casiguran Dumagat, Ifugao, Ibaloi, Kankana ey, Tiduray and Ivatan ethnic groups from the Philippines and Otomi Indians of Mexico.
