LEAD LIKE THE BABAYLAN. Join in another National Women’s Month activity, “Babaylan: A Film Showing and Lecture on Panay Babaylan Tradition” this March 27, 2026, 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM.

“Babaylan” is a 13-minute animated film featuring Estrella Bangotbanwa, a babaylan whose name still resonates to the present generation, as she takes part in the panaet ritual and unveils the sacred four pillars that shaped the beliefs of Panayanons’ ancestors. The film preserves and promotes the intangible cultural heritage of the island -- rituals, myths, and cultural values, by making it accessible to today’s audiences, especially the youth. Equally significant is the film production, which is a collaboration of a diverse team of animators from Mulave Studios, Inc., writers, musicians, and voice talents, with the support of private and public partners.

After which, Prof. Joyce Christine Colon, the co-director, who is also a cultural worker and an IP advocate, will give a short discussion about the film and the babaylan tradition in the Visayas., particularly in Panay.

The film showing and talk on the babaylan tradition in Panay is timely; it will raise awareness of the babaylan tradition and the surviving intangible cultural heritage related to the babaylans of precolonial Philippines. Through the lecture, it is hoped the participants will imbibe the qualities of the babaylans, who led through “inclusion, spiritual insight, and collective care, safeguarding communities and guiding them through conflict.”

This event is for FREE. Follow the Page for updates. Thank you, Mulave Studios for the 'About the Film' information.
