The thanksgiving ritual performed by a Matigsalug elder at the USeP –Pamulaan Center amphitheater.

Bahagi na ng pamumuhay ng mga Matigsalog Manobo ang pagpapasalamat kay  Manama para sa maunlad na komunidad. Ang  binanog ay karaniwang sinasayaw ng mga tribong  Matigsalog Manobo kapag sila ay may pagtitipon o sa tuwing may panauhin sa kanilang komunidad. Ito ay sumisimbolo ng isang pamayanan o tribo na bukas at may pagkakaisa.

A Tribute to the Elders at the Living Heritage Center. Ito ay isang pagtatanghal, na magpapakita ng pasasalamat, mula sa ating mga magsisipag-tapos, para sa kanilang mga magulang, community elders, at mga ka-tribo.
