Finalist to the Know Your North Film Festival
This video showcases Tatay "Ifan" Juan Datul of Amulung, Cagayan, one of the last makers of the cinco-cinco, a rare Itawit lute. His craft preserves the cultural memory and identity of the Itawit people, highlighting the role of music and craftsmanship in keeping traditions alive. As the practice faces the risk of fading, the video emphasizes the importance of safeguarding intangible heritage, ensuring that future generations may continue to value and appreciate the history and artistry embodied in the cinco-cinco.
