Nagpapasalamat ako sa New Zealand sa suporta nito sa ating mga katutubo, lalo na sa pagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa ating mga artisan na maipakita ang kanilang galing at maibahagi ang yaman ng kanilang kultura.

Malaking bagay ang ganitong pagtutulungan upang mas makilala ang mga likha ng ating mga katutubo at mabuksan ang mas maraming oportunidad para sa kanilang kabuhayan, nang hindi isinasantabi ang kanilang pagkakakilanlan at tradisyon.

But for Wahida Abdulla, 2022 Bangsamoro Peace Champion, Sama Banguingui and Tausug from Sulu, the textile is prized not only for its physical beauty, but also because of the stories it carries. The different p*s siyabit on display at her booth at the first-ever Mindanao Indigenous Peoples Trade Expo (MIPTEX) 2026 that opened Monday, October 26, at the Poblacion Market Central here, were made by the women her organization works with: Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) returnees, widows, and at-risk families.
