I am very proud to say that our city is just one of the handfuls of LGUs, which heeded the mandate of the IPRA law by finally paving the way for a member of the IP Community, a Blaan, to join the Sangguniang Panlungsod.

Karon ang boses sang representante sang IP Community mabatian na naton sa SP.

This is a commitment to a more inclusive policy making strategy, which enables a greater perspective in the discussions and debates of issues resulting into better crafted policies that serve the interests of a greater number of social groups.

Naga selebrar kita karon sang first ever Blaan Day sa General Santos City. Gusto ko lang ipabalo nga naging possible ini nga selebrasyon tungod sa suporta sang SP pina-agi sa isa ka resolusyon authored by the Hon. Mario U Empal, our IP Mandatory representative and jointly sponsored by all the members of the SP.

I am very proud that our city recognizes and promotes the interest of our IP brothers and sisters. This recognition acknowledges the important historical, cultural and social roles that Blaans along with other IP communities play in our community.

Sa mga utod naton na Blaan kag iban pa na IP, akon kamo gina-awhag nga maging aktibo sa mga aksyon kag programa nga maka-palambo sa aton syudad.

Sa aton nga pag-hiliusa mas mapadali ang aton pag-asenso kag realisar sang mga damgo sang aton syudad.
