DINGRAS has worked its way towards development. The call of the times necessitates the Dingrenio not to confine himself to his larva or move slowly like a caterpillar around a leaf or along a twig. He needs to transform into a colorful, graciously fleeting butterfly. Knowing the resiliency and adaptability of the Dingrenio, his industry and his indomitable spirit, he can rise above any adversity. And that is what he is doing right now. The Dingrenio is a metamorphosis. Slowly, he is developing his wings so it could freely fly, endowed with the power to fight all odds, full will to achieve in the midst of present and impending crises. The Dingrenio has started to fly, to soar up the heights and never will be laid back. The Dingrenio has the God-given gift of flexibility to adjust to any and every situation, taking trials as opportunities to excel and will always have the dignity and pride even on the horizon and infinity Having started this cultural trend, not with inhibitions but with heroic courage, the younger generations of Dingrenios have taken the cue and they are working together, flying in unison to reach their rightful places under the Dingras sun at least but at most and gradually to places under the universal sun, thus:
.“DINGRAS, AGLUPOS KA, KET TAYABEM TI KANGATOAN”.
