SALAMAT KARAJAW. 🤎🌿
As people of this island, we know that culture stays alive because people choose to carry it, support it, and make space for it.
A very special thank you to Very Good Ice , who has supported SIPA and our community work since day one. Your trust and continued support from the beginning mean so much to us.
Kultura Buhi was supported by Elena Buniel-Goss and DIRTI Coffee , whose generosity helped us create a space where local artists, stories, music, and culture could be seen, heard, and celebrated.
We also extend our gratitude to Siargao Nomads and our other sponsors and community supporters— 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶 ☼ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘆 , Café Ellyse, Generals Brew Siargao , Isla Natura Spa Siargao , Ocean Brew , and —for contributing in different ways to make this gathering possible.
Proceeds from Kultura Buhi will help support SIPA’s continuing cultural preservation initiatives and our vision for Bayay nan Kultura—a community space where stories, traditions, creativity, learning, and local knowledge can continue to be shared and passed on.
In an island that continues to change, support like this helps create spaces where local communities, artists, elders, and young people can gather, remember, create, and continue sharing the culture and knowledge passed through generations.
We remain open to ongoing support, partnerships, and collaboration with individuals, businesses, organizations, institutions, and communities who believe in keeping Siargao’s living culture visible, valued, and carried forward.
From the SIPA Community, salamat karajaw for believing in this work and for walking with us. 🤎
Sining ug Kultura, Buhion Ta! 🌺
