Bilyonaryo News Channel (BNC) will start airing the award-winning documentary series “Dayaw,” as hosted by Senator Loren Legarda, today, Oct. 26, at 9:30am.
A project of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), “Dayaw” is made possible through the steadfast support of Senator Legarda, who has championed the preservation and promotion of Filipino ingenuity and the country’s art, culture, and traditions.
Since its debut in 2015, “Dayaw” has highlighted the nation’s indigenous peoples, their customs, rituals, and enduring traditions, celebrating their vital role in shaping the Filipino cultural fabric.
In each episode, Senator Legarda guides viewers through the customs and practices that bind indigenous communities, showcasing their deep respect for nature, their resilience, and the survival methods that continue to enrich their lives. From traditional sports and languages to vibrant dances, rituals, and culinary traditions, “Dayaw” emphasizes the importance of honoring these practices to ensure a sustainable cultural legacy for future generations.
“Dayaw,” derived from a word that means “to present or wear with pride,” aptly represents its mission to promote the Filipino spirit, highlighting the beauty, dignity, and resilience of indigenous heritage.
With BNC as its new home, “Dayaw” aims to reach even more Filipinos, especially the youth, inspiring them to embrace and protect the richness of Filipino arts, culture, and tradition.
Bilyonaryo News Channel is available on BEAM TV 31 (accessible via digital TV boxes in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Baguio, Zamboanga, and Naga), Converge Channel 74 and on Cignal Channel 24.
