In the town of Dumarao, Capiz lies two Ati communities, our indigenous people brethren in Mt. Tag-ao, Brgy. Tamulalod and one community can be found in Brgy. Aglalana, Dumarao, Capiz.
This kind of community has the same needs and problems as those who do not belong in any IP communities. Sometimes, our brethren who belong in this tribe have been neglected by the government, sad but that’s the reality. The most pressing problems we have identified are the access to education of children since classes were suspended in March and set to open on October 5, the learning stops because of COVID-19 pandemic and learners were deprived of education they deserve. Next, in these trying times, health is very important for everyone. It is tear-jerking to see most of the children and even adults of the Ati communities lack of nutrition. This awful scenario gives us a realization that we should do something for them, our fellow countrymen.
Our team has this strong desire to reach out this community because it really melts our heart seeing them in that kind of situation.
