In celebration of the National Indigenous Peoples Month in the Philippines, Tuko Chronicles collaborated with the UP Department of Linguistics to compile snippets of different narratives gathered from field research in various ethnolinguistic groups throughout the country. Listen to a sampling of diverse grammatical structures, personal backgrounds, varied ways of life, experiences, and, ultimately, different ways of making sense of reality.
