3. What is the significance of this video for you?

It is an honor to belong in this group. This video is very important to me since it

shows the different Indigenous creative crafts that owned by the people in the
Philippines. It shows the deep value of our culture. Through this video, it can give us
knowledge on everything we own and how they value our culture. As I watched this
video, there were lots of people with different kind of beliefs which makes me very
interested and amazed. There are also many realizations that I got. I’m amazed by how
they preserved our culture. It is indeed very important to me because this kind of things
are what represents us, people in the Philippines.
