For us natives, such as lumads of Bukidnon who lived in the remote and mountainous areas of the Province, "Kaamulan Festival" is not just an ordinary festivity but also an avenue for us to tell the world about our stories--stories that is just too good to be true that once in our lives we have lived and survived a generation with the help of the great tool we've developed like this stone grinder--a tool we use to grind our favorite staple food such as corn back then when grinding machines weren't yet available and when we're still left behind by the
