🇲🇱 Representing my roots as a Máppiâng Súgî and my Sapnî as a royal descendant of the Dátus, Rájas, and Lakans of Luzon (who are also of the Sultans of Sulu and Brunei, and of the ancient Mahārājas of Majapahit), and of the Ápûs of the #indigenous Áitâ. Also embedded in this regalia are deeper symbolisms that traditionally represents the people, particularly the peasants and the working class. . 🇲🇱 Recreating our #MappiangSugi regalia is a daunting task and a never ending journey. Luckily I belong to a long line of Scholars and Culture Bearers who have preserved and passed down our ancient knowledge through the centuries of colonialism and modern society. . 🇲🇱 Máppiâng Súgî is the Kapampángan term for nobility. In our traditional society of precolonial Lúsung (Luzon), to be a Máppiâng Súgî is not based on your family’s wealth nor land ownership. It’s always been about your bloodline’s history and continuing contribution to society and the well being of our communities, especially of the most vulnerable. So here I am, an artist-scholar-activsist, proudly continuing the legacies of my ancestors to empower and genuinely #SERVEthePEOPLE ✊🏽🇵🇭 _ #KnowYourRoots ⚔️ #KnowHistoryKnowSelf _ 📸: @mirxndxikx 🎓 #TeamYak’s outfit at the 2019 #UCDavis #Filipinx Graduation Ceremony https://www.instagram.com/p/B-s27jeDKcl/?igshid=169xj4bgmy59y

🇵🇭 Masayang makapamasyal muli... Pero masmasaya sana at higit na masmahalaga kung may #MassTestingNowPH! Ang World Health Organization na rin ang may sabi, hindi kakayanin ng paquarantine-quarantine o paglockdown lang ang pagsugpo sa pandemyang ito. 📣 _ 🇺🇸 It would be nice to be able to travel again... But what would be nicer and what is most needed right now is to have mass COVID-19 testing available for our most vulnerable, especially in countries like the Philippines! WHO itself announced that quarantine and social-distancing isn't enough to end this pandemic. 📣 _ 🇲🇱 Masanting sana nung makapamasyal tang pasibayu… Oneng ing masmasanting ampong maskailangan ta ngeni ing mass testing ning COVID-19 para kekatamung memalen! Ing WHO na murin ing sinabing ali na agyu ning pamag-quarantine o lockdown mu ing pandemyang ayni. 📣 _ Stay safe everyone! Let’s help our communities, especially the most vulnerable.

#TeamYaK’s #ootd/#ootn at the 2019 #UCDavis Filipinx Graduation Ceremony. Representing my #indigenous roots as a Máppiâng Súgî (#Kapampangan nobility) & my Sapnî (lineages) as a royal descendant of the Dátus, Rájas, & Lakans of Lúsung (Luzon), of the Sultans of Sulu & Borneo (Brunei), & of the Ápûs (chieftains) of the indigenous Áitâ. Also embedded in this regalia are deeper symbolisms that traditionally represents the people, particularly the peasants & the working class, but more on these profound meanings in future posts & maybe videos. 😉 _ #KnowYourRoots 🇲🇱 #KnowHistoryKnowSelf 🇵🇭 #ServethePeople ✊🏾 _ 📸: @mirxndxikx https://www.instagram.com/p/By3wvOVDmzf/?igshid=laeoj7jghczc

#teamYaK with the amazingly talented next generation of "Anak Bale-Balayan" back in the #motherland🇲🇱🇵🇭. The Bale-Balayan: Museum for the Poor ❤️ is a center that gives opportunities for mostly underprivileged children to learn indigenous music, values, & knowledge. It's a place where #Filipino/#Kapampangan/#SoutheastAsian arts & culture are made accessible & engaging to the surrounding marginalized & impoverished communities. If you wanna help support such transformative grassroots program, let me know I'll connect you with them 😊 p.s. I'll be posting a video about them too so tune in, I got quite a few videos from our #YaKGoesPhilippines trip lined up 😉 teehee __ #KirbyNoodle #YeeAndKirby #BaleBalayan #KnowHistoryKnowSelf #KnowYourRoots #ServeThePeople (at Bale-Balayan Museum for the Poor) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn2ATLTHYu5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dd945rn4kht5

Meet Yuriko! This is actually a #throwback to her first week with us 😍... She's so pretty, such a good mixture of #YuriAndKoko, both in appearance and personality. She's grown so fast the past month! She's curious like Koko but she reminds us of Yuri a lot! From the way she drinks to the way she squeaks!❤️🐽❤️ __ #guineapig #mychubbies #teamYaK
