The just concluded 2008 Migrants' Arirang Festival last Sunday was a booming success. This event was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and hosted by the Multicultural Open Society Inc. "It's main purpose is to help migrant workers and marriage immigrants in Korea better harmonize with Koreans and Korean Society."
CBO have gone further in promoting our cherished Igorot dances such Balambang, Takik, Pattong and Handkerchief Dance during the Festival. Our grateful appreciation goes to Fr. Peter Choi of Yongsan Shalom House for Migrants for his unwavering support to the oraganization. The success of the participation of CBO was through the coordinated efforts of Ms. Brenda Bryan, Anthony P. and some CBO officers and members.
Arirang TV asked the CBO Adviser how does she feel coming to this festival. "I'm very happy. To be a part of this international festival is pride in itself. We Cordillerans, although we belong to the minority group in the Philippines are proud to show the world our ethnic dances. We are here to promote brotherhood and peace. God bless Korea!"

upon watching ur blog i think some of ur information is not right ur keep on promoting the cbo with out checking the people if the really a cbo's coz as i can see and as far as i know those who dance during the migrant day are not a member of cbo,so correction pls...include also those representing cordillera who are not a member of a cbo coz not all cordillerans here in korea are cbo coz cbo is an organization. i think those chapters following the by-laws of the cbo are the one belong to cbo...yes we are all cordillerans but have r own organization.
WEll, the points you have raised are true. So my apologies to those who are not acknowledged and needed to be aknowledged. My main goal here is to promote unity and brotherhood. Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate it. I wish somebody could help me here so as to make it more appealing to browse, especially those who are not yet members of the CBO.
