  • I was sorting through some video tapes that I have and found some very cool footage.  Two tapes were of the Helobung Cultural Troupe from the T'boli tribe of Lake Sebu in Mindanao.  I watched them when they performed at Sacramento City College and California State University, Sacramento.  One of the most awesome things about the footage is that it is THE T'boli Tribe, not a representation, not a dramatization.  It's rare, and invaluable to me.
