Let us, as Victoriahanons, Saraviahanons, Silaynons, Talisaynons, and Murciahanons, cherish, understand, and continue to pass down our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate.

This year’s theme, ‘Championing Heritage: Capacity Building to Transform Communities,’ reminds us of the importance of supporting our cultural workers and advocates. By providing them with the necessary training and skills in heritage management, such as conservation and cultural mapping, we can empower them to make a positive impact on our communities.
