The crusade for the preservation of the country’s culture and heritage continues for Sen. Loren Legarda as her documentary series “Dayaw” returns for a third season on ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel, on Thursday (February 23), with livestreaming on abs-cbnnews.com/live and on ANC’s Facebook page.
A six-part, 30-minute weekly program that focuses on the ways, beliefs, and practices of the indigenous peoples (IPs) in the Philippines, “Dayaw” is a project of Legarda – a known advocate of IP rights – in partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the country’s premier 24/7 all-English cable news channel.
The theme for “Dayaw” this season is “Materyales Fuertes,” the tangible materials chosen by indigenous craftsmen to create tools, ornaments, and structures that have helped build our nation.
The first two episodes, “Hinabing Lakas” Parts 1 and 2, focus on expressive fibers of distinct cultures, and how fibers weaved into textiles, baskets, mats, and utensils express our identity.
