We Call Her Ina Bai: How Strong Women Are Made (by JR Santiago II & Margarita Valle; Illustrated by Enna Nuntimbuwan) is Sabokahan Unity of Lumad Women’s first self-published book.

It tells a compelling narrative of the extraordinary resilience and strength of indigenous Lumad women and their tribe as they go through the struggles in a world that continually try to undermine their human dignity, rights to land, and life.

The book shares the life experiences and stories of and through the point of view of Bai Bibyaon Ligkayan Bigkay, the warrior of the Pantaron Mountain Range in the southern Philippines, and her grandniece Sharmaine. It is based on interviews with Sabokahan Chair Emeritus, Bai Bibyaon Ligkayan Bigkay with Sabokahan Youth leader Sharmaine Dausay, Save Our Schools Network volunteers, and Liyang Network members.

Sabokahan Unity of Lumad Women is a grassroots organisation of Lumad (Indigenous) Women from 8 ethno-linguistic tribes across Southern Mindanao, Philippines.
