Pamulaan is a home where indigenous culture is given importance and the real essence of service is found…a place of hope and serenity that helps to open my eyes to see the reality of the world where I belong…a shelter that teaches me how to survive the challenges of IP life.

Pamulaan: you ope ne d my hands and taught me not to catch rain for myself, but to let it overflow so that others may be watere d and may grow. Through you, my “munting pangarap” became greater and bigger. With every touch of your hands, you made me realize what really is the essence of my existence in this challenging world.You made me think how I can be a light to others rather than think and question why I am a Tagbanua. You lifted my ego and helped me be proud of my race and to tell the world about the real me.

You hold me and take me where I wish to go. Thus, when I exit your door, Pamulaan, I will celebrate what I have accomplished and look forward to how I can be an inspiration to others and fill the empty hands of humanity.
