| September 6-7, 2008 Come join Tatak Ng Apat Na Alon Tribe at the 17th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture at Pt. Fermin Park, 807 W. Paseo Del Mar, San Pedro, CA from 10am to 6pm. This year's theme is katutubong landas tungo masaganang bukas – “native ways toward a prosperous future.” It is our native ways, our traditions, that anchor our community. It is also through our native ways, our human experiences, that we find common threads that interweave the diverse communities that make up our landscape. Whether we refer to "community" as the youth, the various groups that make up Los Angeles, or the community of Pilipinos worldwide, it is our native ways - of song, of dance, of art, of cuisine, of cultivating the ear - that we pass on to the future of generations, to continue to ensure a prosperous future. Come for the whole day and enjoy a wide variety of food, clothing, artwork, books, and other memorabilia will be sold at the event. FPAC features a wide array of cultural and artistic showcases and activities. Tatak Ng Apat Na Alon will have a booth for anyone interested in tattoos or just inquiring some more information about the revival. Hope to see you there! |

| APOLOGIES FOR THE LACK OF UPDATES FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS. AS YOU NOTICE BELOW WHEN WE UPDATE THE TRIBE MEMBERS' PAGE WITH GALLERIES OF PICTURES AND TATTOOS OF CLIENTS WE NOTICE MANY, WHO TEND TO TAKE THE SHORTCUT OF RESEARCHING THEIR OWN ROOTS, FROM FILIPINOS TO DIFFERENT ETHNIC DIVERSITIES THEY TEND TO COPY THESE SACRED TATTOO MOTIFS THAT ARE RESEARCHED ONLY FOR THAT CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL THAT CAME TO US. WHEN THEY ARE POSTED ON OUR SITE THEY ARE COPIED LIKE A TATTOO FLASH. SO IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THESE TATTOOS SACRED IS TO KEEP OUR GALLERY LIMITED AND UPDATE ONCE IN A WHILE. SO CHECK BACK FOR RECENT UPDATES AS WE WILL BE UPDATING EVENTS AS THEY DEVELOP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN OUR ENDEAVORS IN REVIVING FILIPINO TATTOO TRADITIONS. MARAMING SALAMAT! |
