By virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1906, issued on October 5, 2009, the month of October is officially recognized as National Indigenous Peoples Month in the Philippines. This proclamation is rooted in Republic Act No. 8371, the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA), which affirms the dignity, identity, and rights of Indigenous Peoples across the nation.

At Pamulaan, we remain steadfast in our mission to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities throughout the Philippines. This month is a time to honor our ancestors, safeguard the wisdom of our cultures, and celebrate the resilience that continues to sustain our people.

National Indigenous Peoples Month is not only a recognition of our history-it is also a call to action. It is to ensure a future where Indigenous voices are heard, rights are upheld, and cultural heritage thrives as a living source of strength for generations to come.

Together, we celebrate who we are. We are the bearers of identity, the soul of Filipino culture, stewards of tradition, and partners in building a just and inclusive nation.

Happy National Indigenous Peoples' Month!

Ang Cacao (Theobroma cacao) ay isa sa mga produktong may malaking potensyal sa Pilipinas. Madali itong isama sa iba’t ibang uri ng pagsasaka. Kinakailangan lamang nito ng kaunting lilim, kaya maaari itong itanim kasabay ng niyog, prutas, saging, gulay, at iba pa.

Mula sa kakaw ay ginagawa ang cocoa powder, cake, at butter. Isa sa mga tanyag na produkto nito ay ang tsokolate, sabon, shampoo, at iba’t ibang pharmaceutical products. Sa lokal na gamit, karaniwan itong nakikita bilang tablea para sa inumin at champorado.

Madaling pagkakitaan ang kakaw dahil sa loob ng dalawang taon maaari na itong mamunga. Mataas ang presyo nito at mas matagal bago masira kumpara sa ibang pananim. Madali rin itong iproseso, gaya ng paggawa ng tablea, upang mas tumaas ang kita mula rito.

Bukod dito, nakakatulong ang kakaw sa pagbawas ng epekto ng Climate Change dahil tulad ng mga puno, nakakahigop ito ng carbon. Nagsisilbi rin itong panakip sa lupa upang makapigil sa pagbaha at pagguho ng lupa.
