About Kirby:
Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo is a renowned Filipino culture bearer and currently NAFCON's (National Alliance for Filipino Concerns) National Coordinator for Culture & Heritage. He is a Dátû by blood, a direct descendant of the last Kings of Luzon, whose upbringing exposed him to the contradicting worlds of traditional politics and grassroots activism.
Kirby is the co-founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies, at the University of California, Davis, and has been teaching Filipino people’s history and writing in indigenous Philippine scripts (Kulitan & Baybayin) for over a decade. An alumnus of UC Davis, Kirby has also started his graduate studies in the field of history at Harvard University, and received a certificate on International Human Rights Law from Université catholique de Louvain based in Belgium. He is a visiting professor at various colleges in the Philippines and a research fellow with Sínúpan Singsing, a publicly-funded institute for indigenous advocacy and the study of Kapampángan language, history, and culture.
Kirby is well-rooted in his culture and passionate about his heritage; he strives to decolonize Philippine history and democratize Ethnic Studies through knowledge and play.
