“Tingug” is a noun in the Tausug dialect. It means human voice. The same can be said for the Hiligaynon, Waray and Cebuano languages. Most if not everyone in our team are experts and specialists belonging to these ethno-linguistic and indigenous groups. And we, influenced by our humble beginnings, ardently believe that for genuine success in any project to occur, the people involved should be meaningfully engaged—their opinions and realities, their “Tingug”, must be part of the process. We believe that there must be a balance among the voices in a process—the leadership, the implementers, and especially those the project is intended for—all voices need to be heard.
