We,
the Blaans of Amgange, the original occupants of the land as gathered in
celebration of the first Malacañan declared Blaan Day by Virtue of Proclamation
No. 1058 do collectively declare:
1.
We value the importance
of the annual Blaan Day Celebration to bring together the Blaans from the
different barangays of the city to celebrate culture, to strengthen the bond of
the Blaan family, to restore the dignity and pride and to talk on issues
confronting our tribe and how we should collectively address it, thus appealing
for regular funding from the City Government to hold this annual event.
2.
We value the
importance of getting back to our roots, appreciate our traditional elders and
learn from their strengths and weakness, learn from our own culture and the
preserved living traditions in our communities and live it at homes.
3.
We value the need to
find our cultural masters and assist them for skills transfer on tabih making,
traditional instruments making and playing, traditional Blaan clothing and
accessories making and traditional performances (maral, malem, flalok, etc.),
thus demanding the Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative to author and pass an ordinance for the development of a Comprehensive Blaan Development
Framework.
4.
We recognize our
pressing issues on quality basic education, cultural empowerment, weak
involvement on the governance process, inequality distribution of government
services such as college scholarship, livelihood and lifelong trainings, thus,
calling the City Government to have a Social Services Allocation Mapping and
allocate substantive share for the Blaans to access these services.
5.
We value the need for
more focused group discussions, development forums, summits and conventions
that will strongly bring together the Blaans to talk on issues like ancestral
domain claims, development concerns that will strongly advance self-reliance,
self-empowerment and cultural integrity.
Declared
this July 22nd 2015 at Oval Plaza Covered Court, General Santos City
during the Kastifun dad Blaan de Amgange.
