    Searching for Lemlunay in Lake Sebu

    Searching for Lemlunay in Lake Sebu

    I remember the first time I saw the documentary film “Dreamweavers” back in our Sociology class in college. It featured the T’boli tribe of Lake Sebu in Southern Mindanao and how they weave their cloths inspired by spirits in their dreams.
