The Blaans were recorded to be the first inhabitants of South Cotabato province and being in the identified tarsier sanctuary, they become the stakeholders of the preservation program and as such, they are undergoing training on preservation of their environment and culture.
The training is in full swing. We built a replica of Blaan traditional house, bigger than the average Blaan houses as a repository of their cultural heritage - a gallery at present which we all dream to become a museum in the future. The educational process and the intervention that we are doing is in line with the restoration of their ethnic pride in the social mainstream.
