“Life in Europe”: Box in the ICBE Website

This box in the ICBE website will complete the acronym, ICBE (Igorot Cordillera BIMAAK Europe.)

There’s already a box on “Igorot” and another on “The Cordillera” that includes the six provinces in the region (Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, MountainProvince) and the city, BaguioCity. What's lacking is a box on “Europe.”
