Next step to the auditions and to choosing the lead actors for the PLONING ADIN KA REN Music Video is finding the other talents needed for the music video and looking for their costumes. One of the hardest talents to find is the Tagbanua group of people. First of all, matinlo productions had to ensure that they are not violating any rules pertaining to indigenous groups so they had to go to the National Commission for Indigenous People in Barangay Sta. Monica, Puerto Princesa City to confirm. After confirming that it's ok to include the Tagbanuas in the music video, matinlo productions had to travel to Napsan, which is a 2 hour rough road drive from the city proper with some rivers to cross, to ask permission to Kuya Rudy and company (the Tagbanua group) to take some videos of their dances. Now each Tagbanua group has their own rules and so matinlo productions also had to make sure that they do not violate the Tagbanua rules and that they pay the dues due to the Tagbanua group. Accomodations for the Tagbanuas had to be arranged as well and a driver dedicated to them. The Tagbanua group is one of the oldest groups in the Philippines who have maintained their own system of writing also called Apurahuano. They have their own language, own practices, own dances and songs and own beliefs which are no longer being passed down by the older generation of Tagbanuas to the younger generation of Tagbanuas. Kuya Rudy belongs to those few people who were taught of Tagbanua dances and rituals by his parents.

Next we also had to find the people who will be the 3 religious figures needed for the music video. Special thanks to Mares Krishnaa Bajar for the Muslim woman costume, to the Palawan Museum for the Tagbanua babaylan costume and to Sister Emilia of St. Ezekiel Moreno Parish for the gala.

The anyel (blue dye) was also hard to find since not everyone knows the dye as blue dye or anyel. Luckily, we found some at NCCC. Special thanks to Jeorlie Magbanua for looking for the blue dye and to Topz Perez and Popoy dela Torre (of Bulyaw Mariguen) for climbing up the banana tree to get the material for the alakayo and for sewing the alakayo mask.
