Sapat ba ang 50 pesos na ibibigay sa tour guide? What are your thoughts?

Today is the feast day of Nuestra Señora de Visitación de Piat.

Our Lady of Piat, enshrined at the Basilica Minore of Piat is a symbol of Cagayan. Affectionately called "Yena" (mother) by the Ibanags and Itawes, or "Apo Baket" (grand matriarch) by the Ilokanos, she arrived in the country from Macau in 1604 and helped greatly the evangelization efforts of the Dominicans.

May we continue to pray for harmony, peace, justice, & healing in our land. Viva La Virgen!

Kung napunta ka na sa Callao Cave, marahil nakita mo na si 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢.

Ngayong ginugunita natin ang 𝘉𝘜𝘞𝘈𝘕 𝘕𝘎 𝘒𝘈𝘉𝘈𝘉𝘈𝘐𝘏𝘈𝘕, kilalanin natin si Bella ang Tour Guide nating Agta.

Bella began working as a tour guide in 2009. As a novice to the job, she was nervous and not very involved. During her training, she was hesitant to participate in the 5-day training program conducted by the Provincial Tourism Office of Cagayan. However, with the motivation and support of her mother, she eventually completed the training. Now, after 15 years of experience as a tour guide, Bella has grown and developed into a woman from the Indigenous Community, who is deserving of respect and admiration.

“Minsan nakakaramdam ako ng diskriminasyon, kasi parang ang tingin nila sa akin ay wala akong alam at minsan pa nagmamarunong sila sa akin” this is her response when she was asked if she still experiences discrimination in her job., “Pero mas madaming mababait at generous na turista” she added.

's story is just one example of the many women in the indigenous community who continue to thrive and provide for themselves and their families despite facing challenges. It is essential to keep moving forward after overcoming life's hurdles and not let societal expectations hold us back.

NEWS UPDATE FOR THE WORLD OF ARCHEOLOGY!

The fossilized remains of the Callao Man or Homo luzonensis has been found out to be 134,000± 14 years old according to a study by Grün & Stringer (2023), much older than previously known.

The earliest-known Filipino was discovered in 2007 by a team led by Filipino archeologist Dr. Armand Mijares at the Callao Cave of Peñablanca, Cagayan. In 2019, it was named as a new type of species belonging to the sophisticated human family tree.

H. luzonensis is an archaic human that lived during the late Pleistocene. Its earlier age was estimated to be only 67,000 years old.

As a recent discovery revealed a butchered 709,000-year-old rhinoceros in the Solana and Kalinga boundary, questions about the ancient hominins that occupied Luzon still persist.
