It really is frustrating knowing that they're one of the first human inhabitants of the Philippine islands and yet they're the ones being left out of the education they deserve.
Yes, Aeta are the first inhabitants and every Filipino are descendants of these tribes. However, our ancestors probably dwell beside the seas and get to interact with. Chinese, Indians, Arabs, and etc.
We Filipino love them they been relocated because of the volcano erupted and the regular Filipinos live worse then them the Filipinos who lives in the slums or far away islands as a Filipino who grew up in America I know my roots and the truth the the Spaniard and American were savages they killed alot of Filipinos close to a million this us our islands and we let the Chinese visitors stay look china wants to steal our islands a right minded Filipino like Duterte' know his root and other countries is all about Filipinos have been brain wash we are a kind blessed people from god
When they bred them out and produced the caste race they brushed the blackness under the rug. I am proud of him and how he graduated in his traditional attire. Lift up you people. We the Africans stand behind every indigenous people around the world. Because at the end of the day we were globally oppressed. Stay strong Aeta!
Ang tradition nyan iyan ang nagsisimbolo ng tunay na dugong pilipino mabuhay ka kbabayan saludo ako sayo mabuhay ka

So the indigenous people of the Philippines are Black (or Negritos as they are called). Who know. The deeper you dig the blacker it gets.
Indigenous in all countries in southeast Asia are black/australo-melanesians
same in australia
Go ahead keep digging. By the end of the day you will find out they have more rights than you. They own the land and the oceans where you are standing. You are only a migrant just like everyone else you dig in your own kind.
WOW FLUENT ENGLISH!!
There’s quite a few in the Philippines that are fluent in English
yah he is better than me lol
@@KSmifune HAHAHA
Is he and his tribe melanesian?
Yes. They are all related to Aboriginal Australians and other Melanesians.
@@Combat-Mindset looks like they are the same or related tribe of the Kalahari bushman from the movie the gods must be crazy
@@buraot29ify yes they are
His Kind are the indigenous Peoples of Southeast Asia, Oceania, Taiwan, and the Indian Subcontinent before the Aryans, Persians, Austronesians, and Austroasiatics invaded and conquered those Areas mixing much of the indigenous Peoples out of existence.
Kakampi ko lng sarili ko.. walang paki sa kritiko
That's weird that his own people treat him differently. Aren't they all the same people?
Aeta's aren't austronesian iirc. They migrates to Philippines earlier than the austronesians (main ethnic Filipino race) hence they're a different people. It's pretty noticeable, with their darker complexion, shorter stature and curly hair.
If this is a muslim community... aeta community will definitely blossomed
Nah, that's a cap. Orang Asli in Malaysia is treated differently, they're even forced to convert to Islam so that they can get the same benefits that Malay people get from the Government.
@@Iaszund
That's racism we all knew they were the first and the rightful owner of the land we are standing.
Those UP authorities who asked you why you should be admitted when you are an Aeta are oblivious of the central ideas of democracy which their very institution is supposed to stand for. They are, to say the least, a disgrace to UP's libertarian identity.

Mag Aral Ka nang mabuti
Tulungan niyo sarili niyo 🙄
Just to be clear! Some of them don't have money for education... How can they get proper education or attend school if they don't have any money for it???
Another fact is that some people from the goverment is stealing their lot and their planted fruits and veggies...
Now tell me? How can you say "tulungan nyo sarili nyo" or "help your selves" when in fact they are doing there best and still get stealed at...
It's funny how Some Filipino's respect other people around the world but don't respect people at there country I'm saying this because I've experienced this myself!
wow napaka insensitive
Ganito magsalita ang taong mababa pa sa walang pinag aralan
@@lizcorpus7254 please translate it to tagalog so Mannahchz Zandriahh (and those who liked her comment) can comprehend your comment.
Spoken like someone who’s uneducated. Your comment says more a lot about you than Norman.
