Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya, showcased its vibrant creative enterprises and community-based tourism experiences as part of the Lakbay-Likha Familiarization Tour, an initiative of the Department of Tourism (DOT) Region 2 and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Region 2 that aims to connect local creative industries with broader tourism markets.

The Aritao leg featured visits to Sebing Pottery, Maranatha Handicrafts, and Rockwoods Agritourism Park and Peace Sanctuary, highlighting the municipality’s diverse offerings in traditional craftsmanship, creative arts, agritourism, and wellness tourism.

At Sebing Pottery, participants experienced the art of pottery-making and gained appreciation for the skills and creativity behind locally crafted products. The visit to Maranatha Handicrafts showcased the innovative use of indigenous and locally available materials through a hands-on corn husk flower-making activity. Meanwhile, Rockwoods Agritourism Park and Peace Sanctuary offered opportunities to explore wood art and experience meditation, highlighting the connection between nature, creativity, and well-being.

These experiences reflect Aritao’s potential to develop distinctive tourism products that celebrate local skills, preserve cultural heritage, and create meaningful opportunities for community enterprises. By linking local artisans and tourism establishments with tour operators and wider markets, Lakbay-Likha helps strengthen Aritao’s creative tourism industry and supports sustainable, community-based livelihood development.

Through initiatives such as this, Aritao continues to WALK ON WONDERS, promoting its local craftsmanship, agricultural resources, and unique experiences as part of Nueva Vizcaya’s growing creative tourism landscape.

This October, the Municipality of Aritao joins the nation in celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Month, honoring the rich cultural heritage, enduring traditions, and invaluable contributions of our Indigenous Peoples.

Guided by the theme, “Empowering Indigenous Peoples: Strengthening Rights, Culture and Ancestral Domains,” we recognize the importance of protecting their rights, respecting their identity, and preserving their ancestral heritage.

In Aritao, our Indigenous Peoples are an integral part of our community’s identity and history. Their wisdom, traditions, and cultural practices continue to enrich our local heritage and inspire future generations to embrace and appreciate our cultural diversity.

Let us work together to ensure that Indigenous cultures remain alive, respected, and celebrated, not only this month, but throughout the year.

Honoring our roots. Protecting our heritage. Empowering our Indigenous Peoples.

𝐁𝐔𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐈𝐊𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔|“Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon”

Ang Pamahalaang Bayan ng Aritao, sa pamamagitan ng Municipal Tourism Office, ay buong-pusong nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika 2026, bilang pagkilala sa mahalagang papel ng Wikang Filipino sa pagpapanatili ng ating pambansang identidad, pagpapayabong ng kultura, at pagpapalawak ng kaalaman sa makabagong panahon.

Kasabay ng patuloy na pag-unlad ng teknolohiya at Artificial Intelligence (AI), nananatiling mahalaga ang paggamit at pagpapalaganap ng Wikang Filipino bilang mabisang kasangkapan sa pananaliksik, edukasyon, at pagbabahagi ng impormasyon. Higit sa lahat, ito ang nagsisilbing tulay sa pagpapahalaga sa ating mayamang pamana, kasaysayan, at mga kuwentong nagbibigay-buhay sa ating mga pamayanan at destinasyong panturismo.

Bilang tahanan ng mayamang kultura, tradisyon, at likas na yaman, patuloy na isinusulong ng Aritao ang pangangalaga sa ating wika bilang mahalagang bahagi ng pagtataguyod ng napapanatili at makabuluhang turismo.

Ang ating wika ay hindi lamang daluyan ng komunikasyon, ito ay salamin ng ating pagkatao, kultura, at pagkakakilanlan bilang isang bayan.

Maligayang Buwan ng Wika!
