Dear all ICC/IPs,
On behalf of the Mt. Mayapay KKK Watchman Council of Elders and the Konseho Asaytona Clan Manobo Lapaknon Higaonon Tribe Watchman Council of Elders, we are honored to extend our warmest invitation to you for the Joint Proclamation and Oath of Office ceremony. This momentous event will celebrate the Customary Self-Governance, Self-Government, and Self-Sovereignty that our people have practiced since time immemorial.
The ceremony will be held on March 14, 2025, at the Assembly Hall of Konseho ng Asaytona Clan Manobo Lapaknon Higaonon Tribe, located in P4 Tawilon, Ambago, Butuan City, Agusan del Norte, CARAGA Region 13.
This significant occasion will highlight the continued commitment of our councils to uphold the sovereignty, culture, and heritage of the indigenous tribes and clans. The event will also serve as an official recognition of the newly appointed council members, with their oath of office and proclamation ensuring the continuity of leadership within our community.
We believe that your presence will bring immense value to this important occasion and contribute to the celebration of our shared commitment to the empowerment of our people. Your support is invaluable as we continue to strive for a self-governed and sovereign future.
