In this moving and powerful episode of It’s About Language, host Norah Jones welcomes a panel of cultural advocates and storytellers to explore the poetic traditions and philosophy of the Mangyan people of Mindoro, Philippines. From personal stories to academic insights, guests Chiara Cox, Lolita Delgado Fansler, Resti Pitgogo, Zosing Evangelista, and Emily Catapang open the door to a living tradition of Ambahan—an ancient, rhythmic poetry written in the Hanunuo Mangyan script. This script, still used today, dates back before the 10th century and has withstood centuries of colonization and cultural pressure. What emerges is not just language, but a deeply human worldview of connection, respect, and soul. Podcast link here:https://fluency.consulting/2025/04/10/s5e9-the-soul-of-the-mangyan-ambahan/
I will be Dr. Nette's guest at The Hilom Collective. I learned she is known as The Brown Psych on social media because of her focus on Filipino mental health and on the decolonization of the Filipino. Her passion project is the The Hilom Collective and its goal is to create a space for Filipinos across the globe to gather, to heal, to return to what has always sustained us.

I am honoured to be receiving this award from Tim Brookes, Founder of the Endangered Alphabets Project and am humbled to be one of three Filipinos in a lineup of nine awards. I dedicate this to the people who have worked and are currently working to keep the Hanunuo Mangyan writing system and ambahan (sung poetry) alive. I would like to thank everyone who has entrusted me with this work, connected the dots for me, or given me the space to screen it. Most of all, to the Mangyan Heritage Center: Emily Lorenzo Catapang, Quint D Fansler, Lolita Fansler, Resti R. Pitogo, Uyan Daay, Ezekiel Postmal - there would not be a documentary without you. Here is a Hanunuo Mangyan poem about the responsibility we have to the land that sustains life and how we can enrich the legacy of our ancestors.

The third exhibit brings a taste of Filipino heritage to West Georgia with Chiara Cox's exhibit “Contemporary Filipino Textiles.” This exhibit serves to link Filipinos in the USA and Filipinos in the Philippines by showcasing their shared culture and heritage through a visual display of a variety of fabrics and a discussion of weaving traditions still found in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao today. By exhibiting different Philippine weaves, this collection aims to preserve Filipino cultural heritage, keep the legacy of traditional Filipino weavers alive, and educate the diaspora of Filipinos about their cultural inheritance. This exhibit will be on display from January 8 - April 5 of 2025 and is sponsored in part by the Philippine Textile Council: Habi and Arthaland. More information here: https://www.sqtmuseum.org/
