“Shared Stories: Hear. Listen. Understand.” (a campaign against against Ethnocentrism) on August 9, 2013 -- the international day of the world's indigenous peoples.

The event is a celebration of stories using different media. They will have acoustic performances by independent artists, poetry/letter reading and photo exhibit centered on the theme of telling your stories or sharing your back story. In the same way that you get to know a person and understand them fully only when you have learned about their stories, they believe that it is through hearing and understanding the stories of the indigenous people here in the Philippines that they can begin to appreciate and respect how truly unique and beautiful their culture is.

After all the stories shared through music or reading, the program shall culminate with the launch of the video that tells the stories of the people they met in their communities. This is in the hopes of driving their message that ending descrimination starts with understanding; and listening to the stories of our indigenous brothers and sisters is a small step towards understanding towards ending ethnocentrism.

This is brought to you by TriboCo. Kultura Kamp.

This has yet to be confirmed! But it's all over social media already and people are asking if its real or just a deliberate fake designed to confused us with the issues. It may just be a hoax trying to make fun of the sex video scandal of Parokya Ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda and Star Circle's former talent Neri Naig.

Who's laughing? Well I'm not! I'm practically shocked that a son, his own flesh and blood, could have the guts and the hatred to shame his own father in public.

Has family values gone so bad already in the Philippines because of the advancement in liberal thinking? Has our youth become rebels and immature brats? or is Chito Miranda guilty of a crime that even his own son couldn't stomach?

Is Chito Miranda a victim or is he the real reason why the world has seen his shame? Karma perhaps?
