A cultural master and esteemed educator of indigenous arts, Bae Arlyne is, of her own and through her art, a living tradition. She is regarded as the Mother of the Bagobo-Tagabawa Indigenous Cultural Community in Lubogan, Toril, and, in that role, upheld the welfare, pride and economic upliftment of her community.  She led the establishment of the Bagobo-Tagabawa Arts and Crafts Center, funded under the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) Master’s Creation Program, and thus provided sustainable livelihood and instilled a sense of pride for her people. The beautiful, intricate, and exceptional beading of the Bagobo-Tagabawa women is an artistic tradition that would have faded in history had not Bae Arlyne laboured to promote and elevate it to the contemporary culture and arts scene. Bae Arlyne has similarly upheld the position of women in governance and politics as the Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR) and barangay (village) councilor in Lubogan.
