Another successful extension activity was done under the KASUDLONG LONG-TERM PROJECT of the College of Education on March 24, 2025, at Maruglo Elementary School, where the beneficiaries were the Indigenous People (IP) Representatives from Sitio Yangka, Capas, Tarlac. This project aimed to preserve and promote the Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSP) of the community by creating digitized stories that capture their traditions, beliefs, and everyday practices. These stories provide an in-depth look into the history and culture of the indigenous people of Sitio Yangka.
The activity was led by 𝙈𝙧. 𝘿𝙚𝙮𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙤𝙨 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙯, the Project Component Head, along with 𝙈𝙧. 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙙, 𝘿𝙧. 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙖 𝙋. 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚, and the volunteer 𝙈𝙨. 𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙨 𝙆𝙖𝙮𝙚 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖, who worked closely with the IP representatives. Their consultations and direct involvement ensured that the stories authentically represent the community's culture and knowledge. Through modern technology, these digitized stories will serve as an important tool for documenting and spreading the indigenous traditions, offering knowledge and inspiration for future generations.
This project was made possible through the support and collaboration of various cooperating agencies, including the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 (𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘀, 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗰), 𝗕𝗿𝗴𝘆. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗹𝗼, 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗟𝗚𝗨, 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗦𝗨 𝗠𝗔𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗔 (𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹), and the 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗰 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆/𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗚𝗨. Their collective efforts helped ensure the success of this initiative, promoting awareness and appreciation for the culture of indigenous communities.
