🕊️ NOTICE OF TEMPORARY CLOSURE | A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE AND LEGACY
With deep gratitude and a thankful heart, we share that Lindungawan Showroom is temporarily closed until further notice, following its transition to new management under SILDIMCO. As part of this transition, this page will also be shut down.
Since 2006, Lindungawan Showroom has been more than a marketplace. It has been a home for stories, culture, and shared purpose. For nearly two decades, we have walked alongside Indigenous Peoples and local communities, helping promote and give value to community-made products—most especially the hinabol textile of the Higaunon tribe, woven with ancestral knowledge, patience, and identity.
This journey was made possible through the guidance and vision of our mother organization, the Father Vincent Cullen Tulogan Learning and Development Center (FVCTLDC), which has also concluded its operations. We offer our heartfelt thanks to the previous heads and leaders of FVCTLDC and the Josefa Segovia Foundation, Inc. for their leadership, commitment, and vision in shaping Lindungawan into a space of learning, culture, and solidarity.
We also gratefully acknowledge our partners who journeyed with us through the years, especially the Indigenous Peoples Apostolate (IPA), the Diocese of Malaybalay, and NTFP - EP Philippines. Your support, accompaniment, and shared advocacy for Indigenous Peoples and community enterprises strengthened Lindungawan’s mission and reach.
Our sincere gratitude goes to our community partner suppliers and enterprises, whose skills and commitment gave life to Lindungawan’s shelves and stories—AGMIHICU, Kalandang Weavers, Sunflower Weavers, Pauhangan, and other community enterprises. Your craftsmanship, cooperation, and trust allowed culture and livelihoods to flourish.
We give special recognition and deepest gratitude to our Business Manager, Mrs. Noime Solia, who dedicated 30 years of faithful service to Indigenous Peoples and to the Catholic Church through Lindungawan. Her perseverance, integrity, and love for community have left an indelible mark on this journey.
We also extend our sincere thanks to all the workers and staff of Lindungawan Showroom, past and present, whose dedication, care, and hard work sustained this space through the years.
Our deepest respect and gratitude go to the community leaders—our Datus and Baes—for their trust, wisdom, and steadfast support. Lindungawan stood strong because of your leadership and partnership.
To our customers, partners, advocates, and friends: thank you for believing in community enterprises and for supporting products that carry culture, dignity, and meaning.
Lindungawan’s doors may be closed for now, but its story, relationships, and impact will always remain part of our shared history.
Daghang salamat. Padayon sa pag-ila ug pagpasidungog sa atong kultura ug komunidad. 🌾
