A lovely lady with a beautiful heart, Dr. Cora Claudio invited me to join her in San Fernando. I was puzzled how so many of our so called aborigines of the Philippines are still neglected by the government. Dr. Cora, thru her initiative and love for these people was able to have Gawad Kalinga built 50 homes for the Aetas. She raised funds and was able to help the Aeta's to have these houses. Only a lady with a big heart can do that. How I wished I can do the same. The pictures will tell you so many stories.
The children were getting ready to have a show. This was in the former Clark Air Force base.
I post with the eldest tribal member of the Aetas who was believed to be over 100 years old. According to him, he has five wives. I gave him P500.00 to give to his wives but he just pocketed the money,maybe he could buy more wives?
The audience, I was seated next to Atty. Carmen Planas, oh boy, she had a booming, very commanding voice even without a microphone.
And who said the Rap was introduced by the Blacks? It is our Aetas who did.
And just watch those little body dance, beat Will Smith!!!!
