Tibolo Village is home to a Bagobo tribe. Located at the foot of Mount Apo, the Philippines’ highest mountain peak, the cultural experience it brings is truly amazing that one will wish to visit over and over again. Here, you will get to meet and interact with the Bagobos, take a peek of their houses, learn their traditional craft, and taste their simply prepared but delectable food.

It is a truly Mindanaoan tribal village that showcases the Bagobo culture at its best where visitors can spend the day and immerse with the community and learn their culture. For a minimal fee, visitors may stay or sleep in a hut similar to the ones used by the Bagobos, perfect for bonding moments with families, groups of friends, colleagues from the office, or team buildings. There is also a big house for special activities and occasions of the “Lumad” like assemblies which has now become a favorite venue for weddings and receptions, business meetings, conventions, corporate events like seminars and workshops. Visitors will also get to learn the traditional craft on how to weave the T’nalak – a piece of handcrafted clothing specially woven by Bagobo women. The Bagobos showcases their traditional craftsmanship in the way they fashion tribal accessories and clothing woven in vibrant colors and intricate designs.

Tibolo became a destination favored by those who love to learn the Tagabawa culture and to commune with nature. And most of all, the program enabled the community to manage a community-based, culture-focused intervention that eventually improved the quality of life of the Tagabawa tribe residing within the territorial jurisdiction of their ancestral domain.

The 2-hectare cultural village today serves as a landmark of living indigenous cultural traditions, a venue for cultural exchange, life-long learning and techno-share, a center for culture-focused creative industry and trade, a learning site for conservation of cultural and natural resources, an abode for indigenous tribal leaders and a key stopover for mountain climbers and trekkers in Mt. Apo using the Sibulan Trail. Read More: http://logsac.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-remarkable-revisiting-of-tibolo.html

The Kalimudan Cultural Village at Barangay Tibolo, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur, best represents the genuine desire of the Bagobo tribe in unifying their people and preserving their culture. This desire has become so moving that it has built a growing tribal village with landscapes and “lifescapes” of the ancestral homeland of the indigenous peoples. Eight simple indigenous structures are built to accommodate visitors who wish to immerse in the community. One can spend the day with the Bagobo people and safely sleep in a house similar to theirs. A long house, built for special activities of the “lumads” like assemblies, weddings, meetings, has become a favorite contheymvention area for corporate activities like seminars and workshops.
