Catmon sinigang mix, kamias prunes, and more from the Southern Sierra Madre

Updates
Artwork of an ecobag with tablea or cacao, kamias prunes, and catmon powder

Women’s organizations located in the Southern Sierra Madre are now reaching out to more customers to purchase their “biodiversity-friendly” products.

Kamias prunes and catmon sinigang powder can be purchased from Emma Ayapana. She manages KUMARE, an organization that was founded in the 90’s after a typhoon hit their homes in Real, Quezon. It stands for Kilos Unlad ng Mamamayan ng Real – “Action to develop citizens of Real.” Kumare is also a term for fellow woman.

Cristy Luna, made the eco-bag below with the help of her family; it features a rafflesia flower. She is president of the KALIPI Infanta federation, which stands for Kalipunan ng Liping PIlipina – “Association of united Filipino women.” Kalipi is also a term for fellow group or ancestors.

Rafflesia eco bags, kamias prunes, catmon sinigang mix, and more from KALIPI and KUMARE of the Southern Sierra Madre.

KUMARE and the KALIPI federations of Real and Infanta work with the Women Go project of the Haribon Foundtion to insure that forest management in their protected area involves women leadership.

Biodiversity-friendly enterprises are just part of the work, as they are working with local government to include women. Worldwide, 85% of government agencies and ministries in charge of natural resources and the environment are still led by men (IUCN 2020).

For more information about these products and how to get them, contact Ms. Amelita D. Talotalo at inday.talotalo@haribon.org.ph. For info about Women Go, contact Ms. Arlie Jo B. Endonila at arlie.endonila@haribon.org.ph.

In fact, the number 5 as well as other numbers sound similar in countries surrounding the Philippines too. This is because we all speak languages under the Malayo-Polynesian language family.

The number 5 is also Lima in Malay, Indonesian, and even old Chamoro which is spoken in Guam. In New Zealand, Maori for the number 5 is Rima! In some Philippine languages, ka-lima means hand.

How do you say “one” in your language?

The word Isa is also considered the term for the number 1 in Proto-Austronesian, a reconstructed ancestral language that Philippine languages as well as languages from Madagascar to Hawaii have been influenced by starting 10,000 years ago.

It is difficult for linguists to piece together the words for Proto-Austronesian, especially when written sources back then were limited or lost. Instead, they piece the puzzle together using languages still used today. How many Austronesian languages do you speak?

How many languages are in the Philippines?

In total there are over 180 languages in the Philippines. See 180 listed here: iyil.ph/languages
