The culture of panay-bukidnon is not yet been discovered many things to learn from them... since the tribes from the mindanao and the tribe from the north luzon had already been known all over the country... this is a great opportunity from the visayans specially us Hiligaynon's that we can call our own culture... I did not born and grown on there in Panay but my blood still running to it as a pure Hiligaynon... this we can call our own

It hurts alot when my Aunts and Cousins (father-side) discriminate me as "Bukidnon" of "Buki" as my mother is an "Indigenous". I grow up as a second class citizen as judged by my peers, but I was gifted by an "Intellectual Prowess" that help me overcome all the discrimination and humiliations that I endured during those years. It's hard to emagine a "Buki" being trained in Physics, Math and Atro-Physics @ one of the most renowned and finest Universities in Canada. Well......that's me !!!

My uncles and my cousins in my mother-side are also practicing "Kaingin" where they burn parts of the mountains (Calinog) in an unprecedented level. This is the only farming subsistence that they know in their entire life. They cannot farm in the low-lands because farmlands cost Millions of Pesos per hectare.

People in Dingle (where I grow up) are also encroaching the "Bulabog Puti-an Nat'l. Park", where they cut trees and turn it into Wood Charcoal (Uling) in order to make money to buy food.

My mother is also one of the members of the Indigenous people of Calinog, Iloilo. When I was small, people in our Brgy. or even friends and relatives tease me "Bata ka Buki" - that means - I was born to an Indigenous Woman and they make fun about that (to my own expense). I have 60 first cousins and I'm rated as "Buki" and they look-down on me. Right now I'm the only "Canadian Educated Physicist" and a "Canadian Citizen" in our clan/family. No one among my 60 cousins migrated to foreign soils.

Sana makunsyensya ang mga kinauukulan sa videong ito. Walang ibang magmamalasakit at magmamahal sa ating bayan kundi tayong mga Pilipino din. Di tayo dapat umasa na may ibang tutulong sa atin upang magkaroon ng solusyon ang ating problema.Habang may natitira pang panahon tayo ay magtulungan at magisip ng kalutasan. Kagaya ng pag-post ng video alam kong malaki ang magagawa nito upang tayo ay magising sa katotohanan! Salamat at Mabuhay Ka Kabayan sa isang Dakilang Gawaing Katulad nito!
