in 2004 i visited lake sebu in cotabato and had the honor of meeting and recording y'egas, a t'boli singer. the first time i recorded her, she thought i was there to exploit them and their land. understanding that i only had good intentions, she agreed to sing for me again, especially since the tape of my 1st recording got corrupted. this time she sang about the beauty of the place and hoped i take back good memories of it and her through her song ;-)

if any t'bolis watching this video would like to translate this to english, we would be grateful :-) thanks!
