Please RSVP by contacting us at bibbakil@gmail.com as soon as possible. Our program will feature games for children, entertainment performances by youth, teenagers and adult members. Families are encouraged, but not required to bring a dish, desert or drinks (non-alcoholic).
In addition to celebrating Christmas, we are also raising funds to support the preservation of our Igorot culture by donating financial assistance to the University of Benguet to support their Preservation of Indigenous Knowledge Efforts. This year's donations will go toward the editing and production of educational videos of our indigenous dances. Along with other universities, a joint effort to create such a project has already begun. Earlier this week, 129 participants from 6 provinces joined to begin the production of these videos. Portions of the raffles and entrance donations will go towards this cause. We hope you and your family will join us for this festive event.
