 Bagani: misrepresentation for profit

The Baganl is real, not a fic Lional and not a mythological group of warriors which the
ABS-CBN TV series would like lo portray. Baganl ls an exclusively indigenous term lhat
refers to the peacekeeping force o the Manobo Indigenous Cultural Communities /
Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/lPs) and othe ICCs/ lPs in Mindanao . The Bagani defends and
protects lives, properties and temlory. Its pnme duly is lo guard lhe ancestral domain
against any intrusion from outside forces that pose a threat to lhe lives of the ICCs/lPs.
&it\\
DEPARTMENT It ls a sensitive posiUon and class not lightly ascnb ed to just any person and never l o
~~ of HISTORY those outside ICCs/lPs." - NCIP Sta tement on Th e Use of "'Baganl" In The ABS-CBN
'-j Drama Fantasy Serles
 "Mindanao" is wha t happ ens when you
ny to hom ogen lze several voices Into
one storyline squeezed Jnto .Jess than
two hours of movie: The film becomes a
flawed narr ative that perpetuates
Injustices ln much the same way that
people who do not understand
Mlndanao and Its people Impose their
"Pinoy pride. n

What is vinta doing in the Llgaasan

Marsh.? The vlnta sails the Sulu Sea.
Why present the dlfferen t places In
Mindanao as U they were simply
dillerem areas of one compound? Davao
is not Just a Jeepney ride away Crom
Awang, Magulndanao: The cllstance
between Davao and Magulndanao Is
222.6 kilometers , a good 4 hours and 20
minutes' travel by land.
