Why you should donate
Why bother giving a donation when you are not even in Sagunto to take advantage of the Gangsa, Tambor and Costumes that the Tribal Council is requesting? These, the future generations of bagos, are the main reason why you should donate. Don't let our children forget their heritage. Let them learn about this part of them and embrace it. It will make them better and richer individuals when they know they are descended from a proud and magnificent culture.
One day, he could be dancing with the gangsa and tambors you helped fund. Our featured dancer is Josh, son of Dadong Q. from Korea.
Visit these previous posts regarding the Tribal Council's Request. Don't forget to send in your donations to Tribal Council Secretary, Mr. Daniel Pascua, Sagunto, Sison, Pangasinan.
Please help spread the word. Many of our kailyans still do not have access to computers or the internet, especially the older folks. Please print out the letter from the tribal council and give or send them a copy. Thank you!
