A story you don’t want to miss.

Meet 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐃. 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞, a young cultural storyteller from Tubungan, Iloilo—one of our 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟓 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 for the SEATCE Youth Video Contest 2025.

🎥 Her film, “UniTribe: Where Tradition Feeds the Future,” uncovers the remarkable work of 𝐔𝐧𝐢 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞, a plant-based restaurant founded by Ernesto Taguibe and rooted in the heritage of the Panay Bukidnon (Taguibe, Tabuga & Tanate clans).
Here, the ancient craft of “buro” fermentation meets modern culinary creativity—preserving off-season produce, honoring indigenous wisdom, and carrying forward the philosophy of “ancient, with a modern touch.”
