Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization
registered in the Philippines for its main-based operation and later in the USA
for the much-needed support primarily from the Filipino-American
community and other supporters.
The Handbook serves as the main document of the Foundation where
its principles and procedures are set forth to eventually effect community
growth and development in Bo. Calantas and Nabuclod Negrito (Aetas)
Community through the establishment of a scholarship program. Qualified
beneficiaries come from the 6th grade graduating first top five (5) honor students recognized
each year from the Calantas Elementary School and the first top three (3) graduating honor
students of Nabuclod School. CYDFI Scholarship Program will be guided by the principles of
SWREM Theory and when applied to program design can have a predictable positive outcome
and can become a self-sustaining program as it grows and develops into full maturity. SWREM
is an acronym for “spiral with ripple effect motion.”
To the Children and Friends of Barrio Calantas and the Nabuclod Negrito Community
and to those who believe in the Cause of the Foundation in the Philippines...
If you share a common vision with us of having a desire to extend a helping hand to the
poor but deserving youth of Calantas Elem. School and Nabuclod School through your time,
expertise or even the much-needed material resources, especially to those 6th grade first honor
students who after graduation can’t move on to pursue education because of the lack of
financial and material resources, consider this an invitation for you.
A Call to Respond...
The effort of wanting to do something for the good of one’s own community is in itself
challenging and rewarding. However, the only reward that is rewarding enough is not to expect
anything in return but to feel good about knowing that you, as a child and friend of Bo. Calantas
and Nabuclod Negrito Community, are sharing something you believe could contribute to the
growth and development of every young mind that touches your magnanimity. In today’s
society, as we engulf ourselves with the fruits of success in life, a little something that you share
to someone in need could translate into making that young person to see his future with a sense
of hope and a faith to excel and thus one day, when the right moment comes, this same young
person would himself become a magnanimous person by sharing something back to the
community a part of his success. This is the dream that we hope to shape the future of our
community in Calantas and that of the Nabuclod Negrito Community as we, who believe in the
ideals and aspirations of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc., strive hard to help
make this dream a reality. Let it not be said then that we didn’t do to respond to the call of those
poor but talented young minds to help them to be at their very best self, for...

Note: Baluga is a Pampango term for Aetas (a.k.a. Negritoes). It shall be noted that
Aetas are offended when “Baluga term” is used especially when in direct contact with
them. Aetas as a term to refer to “people” is more respectable and appropriate to use.
Most educated Aetas resent being called “Baluga/s” by Pampanguenos because it has a
negative connotation of being looked down as a second class citizen

The Journal chronicles the on-going
process of “what and how” the Foundation
attempts to address its mission of empowering indigent but deserving
talented youth of Calantas and Nabuclod through its Scholarship Program Model.
Interesting insights could be observed, generated from the Essay Contest
conducted during the “historical formation” of the Foundation, wherein students from
Calantas Elementary School participated in the development of a topic entitled: “Ang
Pangarap Ko Sa Buhay”. This activity was initiated to trigger a glimpse of hope that
their dream could come true, as they were being admonished by the Foundation to
“believe in themselves and study hard to make their dream come true”. CYDFI is
where dream meets reality! And to sustain this glimpse of hope, the Foundation has
established an annual CASH Awards for those top three students in each class from grades
1-6, given during commencement exercises.
Nabuclod Aeta Community is in the heart of Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation,
Inc. and the present effort of the Foundation is an articulated commitment of the Founder
to continue working among the Aetas in Nabuclod which culminated in the writing of his
doctoral dissertation in the 80’s on “Community Organization and Development Among
the Aetas in Pampanga, Using A Down-to-Earth Experiential Pedagogy (DEEP
Approach)”.. In addition to Scholarship Program for the Aeta youth, the Foundation
initiated the formation of NNCEAC (Nabuclod Negrito Community Executive Advisory
Committee) to provide support and guidance to the Foundation as they empower and
enhance the self-esteem of the Aeta youth. It conducted a “Needs Assessment Focus
Group” on August 9, 2003, among the Aetas and concluded with the following identified
community needs: (1) water, (2) elevation of Primary School to Elementary School with
additional teachers, and (3) electrification of the community. These identified needs will
serve as a basis for the CYDFI to design community programs to impact directly
community growth and development in Nabuclod. Water is the first project that CYDFI
will have to address as a response to the needs articulated by the Aetas during the Focus
Group. The NNCEAC is encouraged to formulate and execute a plan of action, as a
response.
The Founder has documented the Aeta dialect capturing it in a dictionary format
which could help individuals/groups to facilitate communication with them. The Aeta
dialect is given significance of attention here on the assumption that “in order to be
effective as an agent of change in community work, one has to have a working knowledge
of the language of the people he intends to work with”, thus, not only that the agent of
change has now a language tool to communicate with the Aetas but this also serves to
culturally preserve and protect the probable extinction of their dialect because of their
“slowly-taking-place” of acculturation and assimilation into the mainstream society.

Some youth and parents of Nabuclod Aeta Community came down in Bo.
Calantas to attend the Launching of CYDFI Scholarship Program Model on
August 10, 2002, as a Bridge of Renewed Effort by the Founder is taking
shape to reconnect himself again on Community Growth and Development
among the indigenous people which he started in the mid-70’s.

Nini and Niko together with assistance from cousins, other relatives and
the youth of Nabuclod Negrito Community planted 40 Mango Trees around the
perimeter of Niniko Village on the 17th of August, 2002. CYDFI Compound is
within this perimeter where its future main office building will be built.
007
These faces, “Teknik, Bagsik, Bangkok, Ojie and Makmak” who were hired as temporary
Farm-A workers by the Management, rekindled the Founder’s dying ember of a “response-to-a-call”
spirit; thus, found himself again engaged in continuing the work of empowerment and enhancement of
the Nabuclod Negrito Youth’s Self-Esteem. These Nabuclod youth brought forth apparently the
message to ”reconnect the past efforts of the Founder on community growth and development to the
present thru the CYDFISP.” The Founder believes that “The future belongs to the youth and the youth
holds the light of the future with ardent passion to make a difference and to effect change in his life for
the better and those around him as he learns to become more socially responsible”. Photo taken on: 10 Aug. 02
NNCEAC OBJECTIVE:
1. To provide support and guidance in our efforts to empower and enhance the self-esteem of the Nabuclod Aeta
Youth through the Scholarship Program Model of the Foundation as they learn to become socially responsible.
The First Chapter of the “Nabuclod Negrito Community Executive Advisory Committee
(NNCEAC)” was organized on 19 August 2002 with (L-R) Rey Galvan (Chair), Dhory
Pineda-David (Secretary/Treasurer), Fe S. Quiambao (Vice-Chair/Principal of Chevalier
Elem. School), Jim Joson (Member/former Principal of Chevalier High School), Bart Canlas
and Jovy Lacson (not in pictures) as members. Membership is voluntary.
The meaning of life is unfolded seamlessly as you share your best self in the growth
and development of others, in particular among the Negrito youth; using your ability to
recognize and understand them for “who they are that they have the potential to become
the best of what they are capable of being.” This is rewarding and fulfilling in the sense
that you would feel good about knowing that you share your best self with magnanimity,
humbly inspired by your faith that “each person is worth stopping for.” This is crusade!
This could be your crusade, a calling, living your life to the fullest for others.

Section 2: FOCUS GROUP ON NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Nabuclod Negrito Community, Floridablanca, Pampanga
Introduction
The Focus Group was facilitated by the Founder with the Members and Officers of
the Nabuclod Negrito Community Executive Advisory Committee (NNCEAC), Chevalier
School Chapter in Angeles City, on August 9, 2003 and was the highlight of the initial
phase of involvement of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc.
Prior to the trip in the mountain, the group was given a brief in-service related to
the dissertation materials conducted in the 70’s to give them a historical perspective of
what was going on then in Nabuclod and hopefully, to be able to situate themselves into
proper perspective; and this same perspective could probably trigger in them a quest for
knowledge and a thirst to develop their own intellectual framework as to how they could
effectively respond and work among the Aetas in Nabuclod. The Foundation has the
responsibility to orient individuals/participants on some of the Aetas issues and concerns
for which they could use to evaluate their own perceptions as they go through the process
of experiencing their own exposure with the Aetas in Nabuclod. An abstract of the
Founder’s research on Community Organization and Development among the Negritoes
in Pampanga will be presented later at full length to provide more credence on the issues
being discussed in this section and to reinforce the context for which CYDFI is involved
in Nabuclod Negrito Community.
Working among the Aetas is a challenging one for you need to understand for “who
they are that they have the potential to become the best of what they are capable of
being”. One has to have the virtue of patience and endearing attitude to be able to survive
the test of time in working among them. One has to believe in the beauty of what you are
doing and should be able to transcend the meaning of why you get yourself involved
among them. One has to find a reason why you need to do what you are doing. There has
to be a reason and why you believe in that reason. For one, the Founder believes that
“each person is worth stopping for; that each person has a dignity as a human being;
that each person is created in the Image and Likeness of God”. And each person is
created with Intellect to be able to understand how much God has loved us that He sent
His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him will have Eternal Life and that
each person is created with Freewill to welcome His Love in our Hearts. It is for this
reason that each person is blessed with the capacity to love and being loved, making his
life loveable and able to transcend the meaning of his life, making use of his God-given
talent to share it with those who need it most and in the service of others.
Attempting to address Community Growth and Development among the Aetas in
Nabuclod as a goal could be a tricky one especially if you tend to bring your own agenda
without having first listened and addressed their own issues and concerns by assessing
their needs. And one venue to assess their issues/concerns is through a Focus Group.
The Focus Group conducted was an attempt to understand the pulse of unarticulated
needs of the Aetas for this brought up some clarification and validation of what they see
as theirs against those of what “we, as outsiders” perceive them to be. Their “feedback”
should be the basis for developing a program design with a methodology sensitive
009
and responsive to the identified needs of the Aetas.
Many in the past, including the group of yours truly in the 70’s produced a doubtful
outcome because the methodology was more influenced “from without”, a dole-out type of
development approach, rather than “from within”, that is: listening first to the issues and
concerns of the Aetas through Needs Assessment in a Focus Group which can be the basis
for developing project designs.
Nabuclod Aeta Participants
There were 10 men and 22 women who came to participate in the Focus Group,
including most of the Nabuclod Barangay Officers from among the 1,300 members of the
community but also, registered voters. Their dialect is called Baluga by the Pampango
lowlanders. Most of them speak the Pampango language, too. And some could also speak
Pilipino, the National Language. Their main source of livelihood is kaingin farming but for
some, with evidence of having acquired a lowland traditional farming. Nabuclod is now
easily accessible by land transportation, the road being well-paved within its boundary.
Objective
At the outset, the Aetas were made aware that Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation,
Inc. was primarily established to provide Scholarship Program to the poor but talented
youth in Bo. Calantas and Nabuclod Negrito Community, especially to those who graduated
from the 6th grade with honors. It was briefly explained to them that CFYFI Scholarship
Program will eventually have implications not only to personal but community growth and
development, as well.
In addition to the CYDFI Scholarship Program, it was also made clear to them that
the NNCEAC Group came to explore a feasibility to participate in the process of their
community growth and development by assessing their needs through a Focus Group.
CYDFI Scholarship Program In Nabuclod: Some Issues of Implementation
Since Nabuclod has only a Primary School (1st to 3rd Grade Level), the Foundation
may have to explore some options in its methodology to be able to carry on its Mission of
Scholarship Program among the Aeta youth.
A. 1st Option is to keep track of those 6th grade pupils enrolled in other schools.
But, this option may not be too practical and effective to implement on a longitudinal basis.
Nabuclod School Children
Having The Potential To Become The Best Of What They Are Capable Of Being
010
Per feedback from the Nabuclod School Head Teacher, Corazon Alviz-Manuel,
when Nabuclod pupils finish their primary schooling in the community, they move on to
continue their elementary education to nearby barrios with complete elementary school
education. Apparently, there is no educational system to absorb the Aeta youth when they
finish primary school education. “Let alone, Let Live and Die”, as the saying goes. It is
just too pathetic that there is no educational support system for the Nabuclod Aeta youth
to be able to continue their educational pursuit. Aeta parents complained during the Focus
Group Session that their children have to wake up early and have to walk for at least an
hour to catch up for their morning class sessions. And since barely they have enough food
to eat, children have to bear the pain of sometimes going to school hungry, or eat some
sweet potatoes for their breakfast and bring the same food item for their lunchtime. And
some of them feeling embarrassed of what they eat for lunch (sweet potatos) in the
presence of their lowland children classmates, they would rather not eat their lunch,
afterwhich they go home in the afternoon by having to walk another hour, trailing the
mountain road back to home, again. This is their typical daily school routine. Many of
them hardly survive and quit schooling.
Some parents, however, would be luckier to find a foster parent in the lowland and
have their children work as domestic helpers and go to school at the same time. Few
parents would be lucky if they could find this kind of arrangement and accommodation.
Assumptions
First Assumption: On the assumption that some Nabuclod Aeta youth survive the
test of time and able to finish their elementary education in whatever unstructured venue
available to them with the help of other concerned citizens, the Foundation will find it
hard to implement the CYDFI Scholarship Program in an effective and comprehensive
manner EXCEPT to try to make it work with the following steps:
1. Coordinate with the Community in Nabuclod through its Barangay Officers
2. Inform all parents/children who are able to finish their elementary education to submit
their final grades when they graduate from the 6th grade.
3. Those 6th grade pupils who graduated and whose final grades belong to the first top
three from among those who graduated in the 6th grade will initially qualify
for the CYDFI Scholarship Program.
4. All qualified applicants will have to follow to some extent, the Criteria for Maintaining
Scholarship in the CYDFI Scholarship Program.
Second Assumption: On the assumption that the CYDFI Scholarship Program is
made feasible, the Foundation has to find some willing benefactors to provide temporary
shelters (i.e., food and accommodation) in the community where the Aeta youth is going
to continue his high school education. Or, if the Foundation has financial resources that it
will have to pay for the Aeta’s board and lodging, as well. Currently, the Foundation is
hardly financially prepared BUT if magnanimous sponsors are found, this is feasible.
B. 2nd Option is to explore an alternative approach in the implementation of the
CYDFI Scholarship Program in Nabuclod. An advocacy towards the elevation of the
Nabuclod School to become a regular elementary school will, in all probability, be the
solution on a longitudinal basis. Aeta school children can then finish their education 011
in the elementary without having to go through the same pain as they do now. Having a
complete elementary school education in Nabuclod will prove to be beneficial to all the
school children in the community and could be a big factor for hastening community
growth and development. It can’t be contested that when a person becomes enlightened
through education that it will inspire him to aspire to improve his life for the better. For
the Foundation believes that “the future belongs to the youth and the youth holds the light
of the future with ardent passion to make a difference and to effect change in his life for
the better and those around him”. The school serves as a stimulus for the Aeta youth to
intellectually become a better person and will empower him to become the best person he
can become and what he is capable of being. This is his future and dream to become a
better person. Just like any of us, this belongs to his search for meaning in life, a life filled
with meaning with a sense of purpose and hope to excell and one day, he may be able to
share his life experience among his people.
Focus Group Session
The Focus Group was the initial official activity of the Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. to assess the NEEDS of the Aetas in Nabuclod and from which an
integral approach in its methodology could be designed to effectively respond to their
identified needs. This was also an opportunity for the Officers and Members of the
CYDFI Nabuclod Negrito Executive Advisory Committee (NNCEAC) to have an initial
exposure on the “down-to-earth” life situation of the Aetas. Per Foundation’s mandate and
structure, NNCEAC under the guidance of the Founder is delegated with a responsibility
“to provide support and guidance in the efforts of CYDFI to empower and enhance
Focus Group Session
the self-esteem of the Nabuclod Negrito Youth thru the CYDFISP Model (CYDFI
Scholarship Program) as they learn to become socially responsible”. The NNCEAC
Officers and Members are made aware that their involvement is voluntary and that should
they find their participation fulfilling and worth pursuing, they could design their own
response as they appropriately see it reflective of the content and process of the Focus
Group discussion.
The mood during the Focus Group was serious with some doubts in the hearts of
the Aetas but passionate in articulating their issues and concerns; something that our
Group in the 70’s hardly experienced due to the fact that we brought our own agenda
012
agenda that produced a doubtful outcome because the Aetas saw us more as employers of
the programs being introduced rather than they, as co-partners in community growth and
development. There was no meeting of mind, so they say. At one point in the middle of
the session, one of the Aetas verbalized her pain against those who were coming making
promises to provide support but unable to deliver, that made her feel to hope against hope,
despondent and a forgotten race! And posing a challenge to the NNCEAC Group that
should we are unable to deliver, we better not start promising anything. Apparently, what
has been verbalized is a typical example of those who are coming with their own agenda
claiming to provide support but unable to deliver. This is exactly what the Founder would
like to avoid from happening. It has to be articulated what the Foundation can do and able
to do on the basis of what has been processed in the Focus Group. So, the CYDFI
methodology on community growth and development should be sensitive and responsive
to the identified needs of the Aetas in the Focus Group.
Focus Group Discussion Guide Questions:
The following 8 guide questions were designed to help assess the NEEDS of the
Aetas in Nabuclod from which a meaningful discussion and response could be generated
from them for Plan of Action by the Foundation:
Q1: What do you think are your NEEDS in the community?
• Day Care Center (with Food/Equipments), Water, Chapel (Catholic), Continuation of
Irrigation Earthdam, Electricity and Housing, Additional teachers and grade levels
(from Primary to Elementary Education), School Building Repairs, Medicines,
Educational Payment of P250.00 in San Ramon, College Scholarship Program
Q2: If you rank their importance from first to three, how would you rank them?
1. Electricity
2. Water
3. Additional Teachers and Elevation of Primary to Elementary Education.
Q3: Why? (Reasons of why you consider them 1st, 2nd and 3rd?)
1. Electricity will help in producing water through generators and instead of buying LPG
to cook, they can pay their electricity bill.
2. They can always fetch water from down the creek at the foot of the mountain. To the
students in Day Care, it is for sanitation and personal hygiene. Water is important!
3. Students will have time to rest instead of walking 2 hours to and from the school.
Q4: How do you plan to provide solutions to these needs?
1. Electricity installation in the community is decided at the Corporate Office of Electric
Company. Seek approval for the installation of electricity in the community.
2. There is an identified source of water “Spring” few miles away from the community
that can be redirected by using PBC connected to the WATER TANK. The spring water
flows all year round and can steadily provide the water needs of the community.
3. The Barangay Officers of the Nabuclod Community shall have to make a Resolution to
have the Nabuclod Primary School elevated into Elementary School so that school
children will have a chance to finish their elementary education right in the
Nabuclod Negrito Community.
013
Q5: If resources are available, how are you going to use them to address your needs
in the community?
1. Barangay Officer will decide what to do and will prepare a budget plan based on the
cost of the project. The treasurer who holds the money will be instructed to release the
money to spend the construction cost of the project. The community would also
welcome materials in lieu of cash money to get a project done for the community.
2. The community would prefer materials and technical know-how assistants rather than
cash money to get project done.
3. No response from the community as to how to go about using resources, if available.
Q6: What do you think are the resources you need to help you solve your needs in the
community?
1. They need to appoint a coordinator to work with the Electric Company in getting
electricity to the community.
2. They need materials and technical expertise to evaluate on how they can have the
spring water redirected to the community.
3. Barangay Officers will have to pass a Barrio Resolution requesting to have the
Nabuclod Primary School elevated to become an Elementary School and some
additional teachers to teach for the Elementary School.
Q7: What kind of resources you have in the community to help you solve your needs
in the community? (i.e. water, source of livelihood, etc.).
1. Gimiliare and mahogany trees for poles and manpower.
2. Community Manpower; Spring Water is few miles away from the community which
can be tapped for potable water use when redirected to the community.
3. Parents can help teachers in educating their children by helping out in their homework
at home.
Q8: How can these resources on item #7 be used to help address your needs in the
community?
• NOTE: Decided not to spend time in discussing this item because the weather was
getting worse and the group still had to travel back to the City. The Focus Group was
adjourned at about 3pm.

Further: Some parents provided information that they have children already studying
in high school and in need of support.
These are:
(a) Name of Child = Princess Serrano,
First Year High School in Paguiruan Barangay High School
Name of Parents= Estela Serrano
(b) Name of Child = Jobert Serrano
First Year High School
Name of Mother= Rosie Serrano
Summary of Focus Group Discussion
After four hours of vibrant interaction among the community members, they were able to
identify the following through a consensus process as their top three identified needs and these
same identified needs would be considered as the initial phase for Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. to formulate program design to enhance community growth and development, in
addition to the envisioned CYDFI Scholarship Program for their children, the Aeta youth:
1. NABUCLOD COMMUNITY ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT.
Initial response from the community ranked electricity as their top priority of needs
in the community which apparently was influenced on the thought that the barrio next to
Nabuclod is already enjoying the benefits of having electricity in the community.
However, Rey Manlulu made them aware that as a process and him, as a Council
Member of the Municipality of Floridablanca, had at one point a deliberation in the
Town Hall to extend the electricity to Nabuclod. One major concern of the Electric
Company in town is the ability of the Aetas to pay for their electric bill since their
source of income is not as stable and most of them are dependent on what they could
farm in the forest. While it is true that electricity is needed; but as far as the Nabuclod
community is concerned, it may still at this point: a WANT and not a NEED. Meaning,
the Aetas in Nabuclod can still do without electricity in their community. This is about
economics! If electricity will be extended to Nabuclod, there has to be a responsible
party to guarantee payment of their consumed electricity. Otherwise, the electric
company will end up putting up the electric bill for the Aetas. And this is not in
consonance with the principle of empowerment where the Aetas because of their
inability to pay for their electric bill will be dependent on payment of their bill from the
electric company that could only write this off as a loss from their business account. In
this sense, Aetas will not learn to stand on their own but to be dependent on resources
that would encourage them to become more dependent. If this situation will be tolerated,
Focus Group Discussion
the principle of empowerment will loose its significance and hardly had an impact on
community growth and development in Nabuclod that the Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. espouses and advocates for.
2. WATER. In Nabuclod, potable water remains a problem especially to those lowlanders
who are not used to having less in an environment where personal comfort and hygiene
is very important. For the Aetas, this may not be the case! But as they become more
exposed and educated, their sense of self-awareness on hygiene and sanitation is in
015
no doubt increasing. Although WATER was initially ranked as a 2nd priority of needs due
to their “getting-used-to” to the situation where they are in, most of them acknowledged
that POTABLE WATER really needs to be addressed first because of their increasing selfawareness on personal comfort and hygiene.
The Aetas in Nabuclod usually get their water supply from the creek at the foot of
the mountain where their community is located at. The water from the creek flows from
the “spring” located few miles away from the community and if the flow of the water is
redirected, it could benefit the residents of Nabuclod, The lack of potable water supply
affects a lot of things in the day-to-day life activities of the residents and to those who
work there as teachers, farmers, traders and visitors, to name a few. You don’t need to think
any further about the adverse effects of the lack of potable water supply to one’s own
hygiene and comfort. It is not surprising to notice then that to some extent, even the school
teachers’ ability to teach, is nuisancely affected because they have to attend to their
personal comfort. They have no choice but to bring, at some point, their own potable water
supply to neutralize their personal discomfort. Noticeably, the Aeta school children’s
personal hygiene is very much to be desired. A good supply of potable water could help
them well to become neat, clean and hygienic at all times in their life. In this captured
moment, the Founder together with some officers/members of the NNCEAC, Chrisanta
deAusen-Mangalindan (CYDFI President/CEO) and Cherry Ann G. Estrada, the First
Recipient of CYDFI Scholarship Program from Calantas Elementary School, gave some
pep-talk to Aeta school children about personal health and hygiene. “They look like little
stars ready to shine in the middle of the night as they sprinkle the water of life in the
heavenly sky”. These Aeta youth are the future of Nabuclod where the Calantas Young
Dreamers Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to explore some ways on how to effectively
empower them to become the best of what they are capable of being and becoming.
After all these years, sad to say, none of those coming to provide services hardly
ever listened to the pulse of the Aetas’ unarticulated needs for potable water supply and
016 would have responded effectively by redirecting the “spring water” to the community.
3. ADDITIONAL TEACHERS AND ELEVATION OF NABUCLOD PRIMARY
SCHOOL TO NABUCLOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
This is the 3rd priority of needs that the Aetas identified during the Focus Group.
Looking back at the discussion on “Some Issues of Implementation of the CYDFI
Scholarship Program in Nabuclod”, pp. 76-78, this identified need by the community is
well said and articulated for it is in consonance with the Foundation’s search to become
sensitive and responsive to the needs of the Aetas.
Only in being able to identify with utmost sensitivity the needs of the community
that the Foundation could respond effectively and appropriately; and able to maximize its
limited resources in the service of the Aetas in Nabuclod.
CYDFI RESPONSE (METHODOLOGY)
As a response to the identified Needs of the Nabuclod Negrito Community during
the Focus Group, the Foundation plans to execute the following Plan of Action:
1. Articulate the objective of the Foundation to the Aetas that CYDFI is primarily
established to provide scholarship program to talented Aeta youth who graduated from
the 6th grade.
2. That in addition to the CYDFI Scholarship Program, CYDFI through its NNCEAC
body will prepare a RESPONSE through the facilitation of its Officers/Members led
by Rey Galvan, Fe Quiambao and Dhory Pineda and other Chevalier School faculty
members interested to get involved in the project.
3. That the needs articulated by the Aetas will be the prime basis for program design and
project formulation.
4. That upon careful consideration on the results of the Focus Group, the Foundation
plans to address/respond to the needs expressed in the following manner:
a. Water Project should be given priority of attention by the Foundation.
b. In so doing, the Founder has already started to seek the assistance of Rey
Manlulu to facilitate a “pro-bono” service of an Engineer to go to Nabuclod and
have an ocular survey of the source of potable water that the Aetas identified as a
resource available in the community.
c. The Engineer will have to determine whether the water source/spring water can
be realistically redirected closer to the Nabuclod Community by using a “gravityinduced flow of water through PVC pipes”.
d. If the water project is technically feasible and construction cost is affordable,
then CYDFI can start initiating fundraising to finish the project.
e. The Water Project can have “ripple effect” not only on personal but Community
Growth and Development and enhance the agricultural activities of the Aetas by
constructing rice paddies, vegetable gardens, improvement of local hygiene,
health and sanitation and livestock livelihood program such as hog raising and
biogas project, to name a few.
f. Once the water system is addressed, teachers can do their job much better in
educating the Aeta youth because they would not be worried about their own
personal hygiene, health and comfort.
017
g. It is more realistic then to recommend to the appropriate authority for Nabuclod
School be elevated into full elementary school, thus paving much easier way for the
CYDFISP implementation.
h. Should there be a problem in generating support to have Nabuclod School elevated
into a regular elementary school, the Foundation will have to invoke the first
assumption discussed on page 77 and will have to assume an implementation of the
CYDFI Scholarship Program by carrying out the following steps:
1. Coordinate with the Community in Nabuclod through its Barangay Officers.
2. Inform all parents/children who are able to finish their elementary education to
submit their final grades when they graduate from the 6th grade.
3. Those 6th grade pupils who graduated and whose final grades belong to the
first top three from among those who graduated in the 6th grade will initially
qualify for the CYDFI Scholarship Program.
4. All qualified applicants will have to follow, to some extent, the Criteria for
Maintaining Scholarship in the CYDFI Scholrship Program.
5. The Foundation together with Aeta youth’s parents will have to find sponsors
to serve as Foster Parents during the duration of the Scholarship Program of
the youth.
6. The Foundation will seek financial resources to help at least pay for the
Board and Lodging of the Aeta youth.
018
In this attendance sheet is demonstrated the literacy issue among adult
members of the community in Nabuclod. Many of them could read and write.
Some could sign their names but not to read. But most of them could neither
even read nor write. This is one area of possible project that could be addressed
tho’ most of them would be contented for where they are now and would give
credence to school institution’s role in educating their children who could read
and write for them, when needed. The following signatures without telephone
numbers belong to some Aeta adult participants in the Focus Group.

Nabuclod is a
reservation occupied by
the Aetas ever since. It is
located in the mountains
of Floridablanca that
borders the Zambales and
Pampanga provinces.
Some mountains are
rocky which make crop
planting impossible, but
some mountains are
arable and still fertile for
seasonal vegetables, rice
and corn.
Nabuclod
The place, being
hilly, was once converted
into a ranch by some rich
men of Pampanga. It left Source of Map: Bureau of Forestry
the Aetas very poor PNR: Proposed Negrito Reservation
because the cattle,
roaming around, ate all their plants like rice, corn, bananas and kamoteng kahoy (cassava). At
another time, the place became a logging area, with the loggers promising payment and lumber
with which they could build their houses, but the promises were never fulfilled.
Thus, Nabuclod today is mountains without forests (hence, hot and dry) and with very
little natural source of livelihood for the mountain people. Aetas in Nabuclod are illiterate since
there was no school for them until 1973. Around sixty five children were enrolled from grade
one to grade three but only three-fourth of them report for classes regularly. School discipline is
not familiar to their cultural system.
Although some Aetas have settled permanently, many have remained nomadic. Others
live by the river on sunny days and during the rainy season, they would usually live with other
Aetas in the village. Thus, during the rainy season, houses in Nabuclod, including the school
building become overcrowded. And it is generally hot during most of the year except in the
month of June, July and August, which are rainy season months.
There were about one hundred fifty families considered settled residents in Nabuclod.
They have built their huts, planted some vegetables around their houses, have minimal contact
with the Pampango lowlanders for whom they work as house helpers or agricultural workers.
They have been introduced to planting rice in paddies. As a tribe, they feel inferior to the
lowlanders, like being second rate citizens especially when they are called Balugas, a term used
by the Pampangueno lowlanders with a negative connotation. Instead of Baluga, they would
prefer to be called Aeta/s, a term that raises the level of their dignity as a people.
One has to literally do mountain hiking then to be able to reach Nabuclod. It is now, however, noticeable that the road is well-paved with concrete and more accessible by vehicles;
thus, has improved their ability to do trade and business with their lowland counterparts. Water is
still one of the main concerns of the community with a current census of more than one thousand
population and keeps growing… with less natural resources...

1. The Story of Abelardo B. Palo, 3rd Year High School Student
Ako po ay si Abelardo B. Palo na nakatira a Marcos Village, Mabalacat, Pampanga.
Ako po ay isinilang noong December 9, 1962 at ang aking pong mga magulang ay sina
Mauro at Dolores Baluyut.
Walo po kaming magkakapatid, lima ang lalaki at tatlo ang babae. Ang aking mga
kapatid ay hindi po gaanong nakapag-aral dahil sa wala po kaming perang pambayad sa
paaralan hanggang sila’y nagsipag-asawa. Hindi ho pa rin maalis-alis mg aking isipan
ang pagkabigo at nabuo po sa isipan ng aking ama na ako na lamang raw ang tangi niyang pag-asa.
Pina-aral po niya ko hanggang sa makatapos ako ng elementrya. At ng malapit na
ang pasukan, sinabi ko po sa aking ama na gusto kong magpatuloy sa aking pag-aaral at
ginawa po niya ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya para ako’y itaguyod sa aking pag-aaral
at nabuo sa isip ng aking ama na ipagbili ang asking kaisa-isang alagang hayop at
ipinagbili po naming iyon pati na ang lahat ng mga gamit sa pagkakarpintero para
masunod lamang ang gusto kong makapag-aral.
At ako’y nag-aaral sa mataas na paaralan ng Mabalacat, Pampanga, at hanggang
isang araw ay inaway ako ng isa kong kapatid na babe. At isinawalat lahat ang ginawang
pagpapakasakit ng aking ama para lamang ako makapag-aral. Napag-isip-isip ko na
tama ang Ate ko at bigla kong tinignan ang kaawa-awa kong ama na noo’y
nangangayayat na ng sa kakaisip kung papaano pa niya ako maipagpatuloy sa aking pagaaral. Bigla akong umiyak at niyakap ko ang aking ama at sinabi kong “hayaan mo Itay,
simula ngayon, hindi na kayo maghihirap pa sa paghahanap ng pera dahil ho sa titigil na
ako sa pag-aaral. Humanap po ako ng trabahp para sana maipagpapatuloy ko ang aking
pag-aaral. Pero talaga hong malas, kaya nasiraan ako ng loob at binalak na hindi na ako
mag-aaral.
Pero, talaga ho yatang mabait ang Panginoon. Biglang dumating doon si Kuya
Romy at ibinalita ang tungkol sa tulong na ibinibigay ni Dr. Emmanuel Y. Angeles,
President ng Angeles University Foundation, Angeles City, sa mga Baluga Cultural
Minority sa kanilang pag-aaral. Bigla ho akong sumaya at heto nga ako ngayon.
Ang dahilan ng pagpunta ko rito ay para muli akong makapag-aral at matuto. At
kung natuto na po ako, gusto kong maipamahagi ang aking natutuhan sa aking ka-Tribu.
Unang-una ho sa aking sarili at ikalawa, sa aking mga kapatid at mga pinsan at para rin
ho isiwalat sa lahat na ang pag-aaral ay para sa lahat.

Ako po si Benjamin S. Tolentino, na nakatira sa Sapangbat, Angeles City at ako po
ay ipinanganak noong Mayo 13, 1960 at nakatapos ako ng mababa at mataas na
paaralan sa Angel Collge, Angeles City. Ang mga magulang ko ay sina Emilio at Maria
Serrano.
Dalawa lang po kaming magka[atid at ang pangalan niya ay Jessie. Ako po ang
bunso. Ang layunin ko po sa buhay ay ang makapag-aral at matuto para makatulong ako
sa aking mga magulang at kapatid lalung-lalo na sa aking mga ka-Tribu. Subalit ng
sabihing kong gusti kong ipagpatuloy ang aking pag-aaral para makatulong sa kanila at
sa aking mga ka-Tribu, and sabi nila, “anak, wala tayong pera upang makapag-aral ka,
lalung-lalo na ngayon mahal ang tuition fee. Tutal nakapagtapos ka na ring sa mataas na
paaralan, huminto ka na”. Pero ang sabi ko sa aking ama na hindi pa sapat ang aking
pinag-aralan, lalo na ngayon mahirap ang walang pinag-aralan, wala kang kinabukasan.
Subalit, sumagot pong muli ang aking ama at galit na galit, “sinabi ko ng wala
tayong pera at hindi na lamang po ako kumibo”.
Isang araw, ako ay nanalangin kung papaano ako makapag-aral muli. Nagkataon
naman ng dumating ang pinsang kong Romy at ang sabi ko sa kanya “puede ba pakitulungan mo ako kung papaano tayo makakita ng sponsor sa ating pag-aaral”. Hayaan mo
pinsan, ihanap kitang makakatulong sa iyo. Habang ako’y naghihintay sa iyo, ako’y tutulong sa aking mga magulang sa pagtatanim ng kamoteng kahoy, kamote, gulay at marami
pang iba. At tinulungan ko rin ang aking ka-Tribu sa pagtatanim. Napaluha ako sa aking
nakikita, halos hindi sila kumakain sa maghapon. Kaya gusto kong ipagpatuloy ang aking
pag-aaral ng sa gayon ay makamit ko ang aking hangarin sa buhay na makatulong sa
aking mga magulang at ka-Tribu. Inihingi ko sa Poong Maykapal na pagpalain ako para
magtagumpay sa aking adhikain sa buhay.

Sana matutunan mo ring ibahagi ito sa mga nangangailangan. *TonyMen*

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT
AMONG THE NEGRITOES IN PAMPANGA
USING A DOWN-TO-EARTH EXPERIENTIAL PEDAGOGY (DEEP)
ABSTRACT
The study is a descriptive presentation on the actual and personal involvement
(participant observation) of the researcher among the Aeta Cultural Minority since 1975 on
community organization and development in the communities of Nabuclod and SapangUwak, where a brainchild of “Down-to-Earth Experiential Pedagogy”, known for short as the
“DEEP” approach, was born. The writer’s involvement among the Aetas disclosed the fact
that a working knowledge of the important features of the Aeta (Baluga) language, no matter
how meager, is a great asset in the enhancement of the commitment “to help the Baluga
(Aetas) help themselves through community organization and development in dynamic
DEEP approach”. A document, an Aeta (Baluga) Dictionary, has been developed to
strengthen the context and principle of the DEEP approach . To achieve this, a translation of
the Pampango-Tagalog-English Dictionary compiled by Julio F. Silverio was used as a point
of reference and that which the writer could avail of at the time of study.
Specifically, the study would like to seek answers on the following core problems.
1. What community organization and development programs have been promoted among the
Negritoes in Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak?
2. What is the DEEP Approach used in community organization and development among the
Negritoes in Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak?
3. What important features of the Baluga language proved useful for community organization and development efforts done by Pampanguenos among the Negritoes in the two
communities covered by the study?
4. How can the response of the Negritoes of the study be described?
THE SUBJECTS AND SETTING
The writer in his desire to carry out his apostolic spirit went to the two Baluga (Aeta)
Settlements, namely: Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak, from where his data were gathered.
NABUCLOD is occupied by the Balugas ever since and is located among the
mountain ranges between Pampanga and Zambales. Some parts are rocky and untillable
while some are arable where seasonal vegetables, rice and corn are grown. The Nabuclod
area, being hilly, has been converted into ranch by some wealthy people of Pampanga.
Roaming cattle feast on the plants of the Balugas leaving them starved. Ranchers were not
the only menace the Balugas have to face. There were also loggers who preyed on the timber
with the promise of paying the Balugas and providing them with lumber to build their
houses. The promise though was left unfulfilled. Nabuclod now is mountains but without
trees and in need of reforestation with little natural source of livelihood left for the mountain
people. The Balugas dwelling in Nabuclod are illiterate until the establishment of a school in
1973. Very few pupils report to class because school discipline is something unpopular in
their cultural system. Some of the Balugas have settled permanently in the village but many
have not abandoned their nomadic lifestyle. On runny days, they stay by the river and during
027
rainy days, they live with those in the village leaving the houses including the school
building, over-crowded. There are about 150 Baluga families considered settled residents in
Nabuclod. They built their own huts, plant vegetables around their houses, with limited
contact with the Pampango lowlanders with whom they work as house of agricultural
helpers. In addition to ranchers and loggers, there is a certain layman who in doing “his style
of mission” and that of the “de Colores” took advantage of the Balugas’ unlearnedness to
gratify his selfish desire.
SAPANG-UWAK, on the other hand, is located on the west side of the town of Porac,
Pampanga, bordering the mountains of Zambales. It consists of 65 families. Some are still
nomadic. Both the Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak Negritoes are peace-loving, meek and who
readily extend help to one another. They meet around bonfires, sing, dance and work in the
fields in bayanihan style. They do believe in the Divine Providence but are superstitious.
They indulge in kaingin system of farming which is defective and the harvest is usually
insufficient.
THE METHODOLOGY
The data presented in this study were accumulated as a consequence of the writer’s
commitment “to help the Baluga helps himself” through the DEEP approach. He has stayed
and lived with the Negritoes of Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak for sometime during the
summer and holiday seasons, from 1975 to 1980. He learned a little of how to speak their
dialect to facilitate communication. Being able to understand and speak a little of their
dialect, rapport was established between him and the villagers. When friendly relaltionship
became evident, the writer not only saw what the Balugas need but also came to know what
could not be seen but could be conveyed by words.
On the basis of the participant observation of the writer among the Baluga Cultural
Minority of Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak in community organization and development
through the DEEP approach as a means of educating them, the following methodology and
treatment of data guided the whole sequence of the study, thus:
1. Determine what community organization and development programs had been promoted
among the Negritoes through the DEEP approach.
2. Determine what important features of the Baluga dialect proved useful for community
organization and development efforts done by Pampaguenos and non-Pampanguenos
among the Negritoes in the two communities covered by the study. Important features
would include the identification of the terms and their nuances.
3. Determine on how the response of the Negritoes in the study to community organization
and development can be described. There are three criteria for evaluation of the response
of the Negritoes. They are the following:
a. Their cooperation and indifference towards the different programs being promoted
in community organization and development.
b. Their capacity to translate into their lives whatever assistance is extended to them.
c. Their capacity for involvement and their ability to tap available resources to become
self-reliant.
4. Determine a feasibility for the creation of a Foundation for Baluga Cultural Minority
028
which could assume the implementation of the DEEP approach as a methodology and
explore all agencies of SOCIAL CHANGE for possible source of assistance in the enhancement of the dignity of the Nagrtioes as a “people”.
THE SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
On the basis of the limited data presented in the study, the following findings are, to
with, formulated:
1. That the different programs promoted for community organization and development
among the Negritoes in Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak are as follows:
In Nabuclod:
1.1. On Economic Development
a. The point of entry made towards community organization and development is
the community projects like the construction of a 4-foot earthdam to irrigate
rice paddies.
b. Communal property is applied because no one can afford to buy all the
necessary farming equipments for himself.
1.2. On Education
a. Literacy programs had been carried out together with lectures on health and
moral values. Seminars on agriculture, marketing, budgeting and pricing are
held.
1.3. On Socio-Communal Education
a. The slide battery operated film procured was used for recreational,
educational and social functions.
1.4. On Religious Activity
a. Recollection and Bible Services were officiated among them in coordination
with the Parish Priest in town.
In Sapang-Uwak
1.5. On Adult Education
a. Literacy programs making use of the “multiple-sense-appeal” approach has
been held.
1.6. On Cultural Arts
a. There was an enhancement of their songs, dances, dramatics, crafts, folklores,
musical instruments and their language through documentation.
1.7. On Spiritual Growth
a. Reflection and creative sharing of beliefs and ideas were encouraged.
b. Simple but meaningful catechism was conducted especially among children.
c. Creative liturgy like personal expression of one’s faith in God was enhanced.
1.8. On Support Core Group
a. There was a formation of the Core Group responsible for planning the welfare
of the community through project development.
b. The non-Baluga Supporting Core Group has been partly organizaed to
continue supporting the DEEP approach and make it alive among them.
029
1.9. On Settlement of Land Reform
a. There was an updating of the community census; pictures were taken’ and, a
research on status and historical background of the community was initiated.
1.10. On Health and Medical Assistance
a. Help was solicited from civic and government agencies for medical assistance
and a move has been made to study local herbal medicines.
1.11. On Home Industry and Trade
a. Cooperative marketing is being undertaken.
1.12. On Agriculture
a. There was a development of spring for water supply; river and creeks were
utilized for irrigation purposes; and, there were formation of more rice
paddies.
2. That the DEEP Approach used in community organization and development among the
Negritoes in Nabuclod and Sapang-Uwak gves emphasis on the “experiential” level, one
that follows the psychomotor-affective-cognitive (PAC) sequence of learning which is
contradictory to the traditional method of learning applied in schools which follows the
cognitive-affective-psychomotor (CAP) sequence. The PAC approach is an appropriate
measure for the Negritoes who have not reached yet the level of awareness stressing the
cognitive aspect of learning. In simple terms, DEEP Approach is “doing what you teach
and teaching what you do” method.
3. That some of the important features of the Baluga dialect that proved useful for community organization and development efforts done by Pamapaguenos among the Negritoes in
the two communities are presented from two point of views as follows: (a) those that are
synonymous with the Pampango words, and (b) those that do not show any similarity.

4. That the Negritoes of Nabuclod are observed to be initially enthusiastic but later are found
to be lacking in determination to pursue the different programs for community organization and development and hence, causing failures to meet the goal of helping them help
themselves. Whereas, the Negrtioes of Sapang-Uwak sre not only enthusiastic but proved
themselves determined in pursuing the different programs being promoted and henceforth,
causing some success in meeting the goal of helping them thelp themselves. They are,
thus, found to be responsive and more responsible.
5. That as a consequence of the documentation of the Baluga dialect necessitated by the
DEEP approach, the creation of a “Foundation for Baluga Cultural Minority” as a venue
to continue the DEEP Approach Methodology and the exploration of all agencies of social
change for possible assistance of much-needed resources in all its forms for the enhancement of the worth and dignity of the Negritoes as a “people” are feasible and possible.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the limited data presented in the study and the findings, the following
are concluded:
1. The projects intended for community organization and development in Nabuclod Negrito
Settlement failed. The failure would necessitate one to conclude on the following:
1.1. The Nabuclod Negritoes in general are not ready to comprehend yet the communal
projects intended for community organization and development to uplift their
standard of living and henceforth, their worth and dignity as a “people”. The
failure is traced back to a lack of proper communication which prompted the
researcher to have an established organized documentation of their dialect which
will hopefully bridge the gap between the Aetas and the agents of social change.
The changes are conceivable but the means of reaching out to the Aetas pose a
bigger obstacle, i.e. the Balugas did not understand them (agents of social
change) because they have a different mode of communication. There was no
meeting of the mind.
1.2. They have not fully reached the level of awareness wherein they could translate
into reality the concept of community organization and development. They have
to be conscientisized in time into that which their experience had failed to reach.
031
1.3. As a participant observer, a working knowlede of the Baluga (Aeta) dialect could
serve as a prerequisite for those who intend to become agents of social change so
that concepts of community organization and development as a means of
educating the Nabuclod Negritoes could be better communicated. And therefore,
the different techniques and skills necessary for effective community organization and development so that the community itself shall one day become its own
agent of change and shall indeed become self-reliant in dynamic “Down-to-Earth
Experiential Pedagogy” could be most utilized and maximized.
1.4. The religious ignorance of the Nabuclod Negritoes is a hindrance towards their
growth as a “people”. Their religiosity, being archaic in nature, makes them
superstitious and their being so is reflected in their daily activities. Their concept
of the Providential God in a way poses an obstacle in their “growth” as a people.
They have the tendency to put into God’s mercy all the outcome of their toil like
having a good harvest is left into the hands of God without considering factors
such as the type of soil, climate and insect infestation. This is an evidence of their
having a weak religious foundation and Christianity will not have a strong resistance since they have no system of doctrines and teachings.
2. The Sapang-Uwak Negritoes are more an awakened group in comparison with the
Negritoes of Nabculod. The fact that they formed a Baluga Core Group is an indication
that they are more responsive and at the same time, responsible. Responsive because they
realized the need to change and responsible because they see to it that what they have
changed must be carried not only to their immediate family groups but extensively,
reaching out the whole village. Though they are found to be responsive and responsible,
follow-ups are necessary to ensure the continuity of community organization and development among them.
It could be inferred that the Negritoes of Sapang-Uwak could assume the following
attitudes: “To learn is to change. To learn is to listen and to respond. To learn is to
explore, to discover, to appropriate personally and to assume responsibility. When
a person has learned, he is a changed person”.
3. The fact that Negritoes are engaged in lowly jobs together with a different physical
appearance coupled with the abusive acts committed by wealthy individuals have low selfesteem and tend to shy away from the majority. As such, they live in the wilderness and do
not profit from man’s advancement in technology and other human aspects. Face to face
with this situation, the DEEP approach is envisioned to shed light to these unfortunate
Filipinos. To carry out the DEEP approach, community organization and development
serve as venues so that Negritoes will get out of their buffered shells and confront the
world. The DEEP approach incorporates ways and means so that the Negritoes will learn
how to learn and will be helped to help themselves in a manner they would not detest.
RECOMMENDATIONS
032 In light of the findings of this study, a number of recommendations may justifiably be
made to the following:
1. To Agents of Change/Missionaries
1.1. Learning the Baluga dialect should be a requisite to better communicate the
concepts of community organization and development among the Balugas of
Pampanga.
1.2. A missionary/agent of change should assume for himself the task of inoculating
the person of Nabuclod with the germ of discontent so that he would crave for
things which his own life could not provide, and then teach him the means
whereby he could get those things for himself.
1.3. On the basis of the need to continue and to perpetuate the concept of the DEEP
approach for the enhancement of the worth and dignity of the Balugas as a people,
it is suggested that a Foundation for the Balugas shall be established and named
as proposed “The Baluga Cultural Minority Foundation” with its proposed
Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.
2. To Appropriate Socio-Civic-Religious and Government Agencies
2.1. The government agencies concerned, religious groups and others should extend
their cooperation in putting up a well-rounded Negrito Settlement or reservation
for them to cultivate, schools for their education, health clinic with free medicines
and teachers (if possible, of the same ethnic group who would be understood by
their own people).
2.2. The compulsory education system should be strictly enforced by the government
especially on the elementary school level with a curriculum truly suited to the
needs and capacities of the Negritoes, one that evolves a positive attitude towards
schooling, and adopted especially for them. Adult education should be made an
integral part of this modified curriculum.
3. Suggested Solutions on the Problems Encountered in Nabuclod
Identification of the problems in Nabuclod led the community with the help of the
facilitators to come up with a “Plan of Action” to hasten community organization and
development. The suggested solutions are embodied in the following plan of activities:
3.1. Economic. The villagers requested for an earthdam irrigation. In response, a 4foot earthdam has been built which could provide water to some 60 hectares of
rice paddies. They were introduced to planting rice all year round. The earthdam
is temporary until it could be cemented with an estimated amount of P5,000.00.
While the irrigation is in progress, the people are given informal lecture on the
concept of organization and development. More are introduced to permanent
farming. In as much as permanent farming requires the use of carabaos and tools,
the ownership of these materials is by community since no single family can buy
them all. An estimated amount of P10,000.00 is necessary for 5 carabaos and
accompanying farm equipments. In addition to farming, pottery is viewed as
potential source of income, since red clay is available. An initial capital of
P10,000.00 will be required for the purchase of pottery instruments and to set-up
a pottery incinerator.
033
3.2. Education. Farming instruments by themselves will not be meaningful to the
Negritoes. They have to be educated regarding the progress they are getting into.
So, included in the program are seminars on agriculture, marketing, budgeting and
pricing. Education concerning literacy, health and morals has to be held. Seminars
could be done in Nabuclod or join groups in other places. Education expenses is
assessed at P5,000.00.
3.3. Socio-Communal Education. This is for both educational and communal recreation. The program would include the procurement of slide film viewing and one
battery-slide projector. These have an estimated cost of P3,000.00.
3.4. Religious. A chapel and multi-purpose center where communal activities will be
held have to be constructed. Both buildings will be made of materials coming
from the mountains except for cement, nails and galvanized iron sheets and will
cost about P15,000.00.
4. For Further Studies
The researcher came across some topics in the course of the study that could be considered for further studies, thus:
4.1. Some basic books for elementary graders should be translated in Baluga dialect to
better effect the “learning process” among the Baluga children.
4.2. A Syntax Book should be translated in Baluga dialect to better acquaint oneself
in the study of the said dialect.
4.3. Similar study should be conducted among other Baluga communities in-andaround Pampanga concerning the effect of the DEEP approach into the life of the
Balugas. The following are the Baluga communities hat can be good sites for the
suggested study:
a. Little Baguio Negrito Village in Sapangbato, Angeles City
b. Marcos Negrito Village in Mabalacat, Pampanga
c. Kapitan Banaba and Mt. Catuno in Sitio Sapang-Uwak, Porac, Pamp.
d. Inarraro Negrito Village in Angeles City
e. Pasbul and Camias Negrito Village in Porac, Pampanga
f. Camachilles, Floridablanca, Pampanga
g. Batiawan, Floridablanca, Pampanga
h. Patling, Capas, Tarlac
i. Pau Cro Valley, Capas, Tarlac
j. Flora Patling, Capas, Tarlac
4.4. The documentation of the dialects of the different cultural minorities shall hope
fully be done to better appreciate their culture and ways of life.

Earthdam Construction

Back in the 70’s, this earthdam was constructed and became “too
close yet so far” to reach the community because the Aetas then
didn’t see it as a model of self-reliant project. Almost 3 decades had
gone by, some old timers in the Focus Group on 9Aug03 identified
it as one of the community’s needs but still, not seen as a priority!

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT
AMONG THE NEGRITOES IN PAMPANGA USING A DOWNTO-EARTH EXPERIENTIAL PEDAGOGY (DEEP Approach)
Important Features Of The Baluga Language That Proved Useful
In Community Organization And Development
Any outsider immersing himself in the culture of a target community for organization
and development must among other things equip himself with proper understanding of
important features and terms of the language. In the present case, it is necessary that an
“agent of change” knows some of these features and terms of the Baluga language. A list of
few important terms are presented and their features include positive and negative nuances of
the terms. The positive are needed to carry on effective communication with the target
population while the negative should be learned to warn the “agent of change” against
damaging uses - damaging on the part of the former in terms of hurts it may cause them and
on the latter in view of violent and harmful reactions from the former. The same damage may
apply to the stifling of any progress in community organization and development.
Hence, to carry on effective community organization and development among the
Negritoes in Pampanga such as those in Nabuclod, the following important features of the
Baluga language that proved useful are presented and in particular: (a) the similarity between
the Baluga and Pampango terms with respect to their denotation and connotation.
A. BALUGA AND PAMPANGO TERMS AS SYNONYMOUS
The following are Baluga terms which are considered and classified as Pampango
words and therefore, are synonymous.
1. Kueba.
It is translated as cave in English language. Among Pampanguenos, it refers to a rocky
structure usually found along mountainous regions. It could serve as a resting area for those
who go hiking or hunting. The cave has no deeper significance among them since they could
get nothing from it aside from those who are involved in research, archeology or other
aspects of similar in nature. Generally, it would only be an outcome of rocks whose some
portions have been eroded or decomposed by rain water.
On the other hand, the Negritoes see the cave as something else. It is a home, a haven, a
secluded structure which could provide a peaceful and quiet dwelling place. The sight of a
cave gives them a relieved feeling from nature’s adversities. It is an important home, a
protection from bad weather conditions and at times, a protection or hiding area from
intruders who would take advantage of their ignorance. For some, specially those who are
still nomadic in nature, a cave is a temporary sanctuary.
2. Kuya.
This is a term placed preceding the names of the male members of the family, elder
036 brothers in particular, as a sign of respect. At times, it is also used to address other male
persons whom they are not familiar with in order to show courtesy. It also used to show regard
for male friends or acquaintances who are chronologically older. This is, thus, the value of the
term “kuya” to a Pampangueno.
The Balugas, on the other hand, consider this term as an insult especially when
addressed directly to them. The mere mentioning of the word could send them to rage with anger. Contrary to the Pampangueno use, kuya is not used to show respect or courtesy to the
older male members of the community. Instead, they prefer the use of the word brother which
when translated in Pampango is “kapatad” or in Baluga word, “patil.” Simply hearing the
word would lead them to think that they are looked down, ridiculed, mocked and feel their
dignity is stripped off.
3. Dapug.
It means bonfire. For the lowland people, bonfires will be essentially for social
gathering especially during the cold season.
For the Negritoes, a bonfire is built in order to drive away mosquitoes and other insects
at night time since there is no electricity in the mountains and they do not have mosquito nets.
A bonfire could attract other members of the community and bring them into a caucus. At
times, bonfires are intended to gather community members for a dance, singing activities and
at night for some elder members to discuss pertinent aspects, in particular, the problems they
are faced with. In forest areas, the flame and smoke from the bonfires can drive away harmful
organisms like snakes and so could be used for protection against hazards.
Bonfires for Negritoes are not necessarily built to keep them warm during cold days
and nights but are symbols of unity and strength. They tighten the bond existing in the
community and enhance their individual aspirations which when put together could promote
fellowship, understanding and solidarity among them.
4. Baluga.
This is the term used by the Pampangueno when they refer to the Negritoes, the darkskinned, kinky-haired, flat-nosed and short inhabitants of the Philippines found living in the
mountains bordering the Pampango-Zambales-Tarlac mountains. For some, the term Baluga
means demeaning them as an individual and as a people and would prepfer to be called Aetas,
instead. Baluga may also refer to the mountain people in Pampanga and Tarlac who are
unscheduled and who could be employed as domestic helpers and agricultural laborers by the
lowlanders at a lower wage than others.
For an exposed Baluga, one who is aware of the present happenings, can go to the
lowlands and transact business and can read and write a little, the word is taken not too
seriously. But to an ordinary one, the word Baluga would imply an oral offense directed
towards him. To him, the word Baluga refers to a minority group and does not fall under the
Filipino citizenship since they see other Filipinos (non-Balugas) as racial superiors and not as
brothers.
To establish a rapport with the Negritoes, the use of the terms like Baluga should be
avoided especially when you get in-touch with them.
5. Tegawan.
This is the term for godfather or godmother. Some would term them as sponsors. Godparents or sponsors are a reflection of the padrino system in the Philippine society which
037
could be sacramental or social in nature. Nowadays, some have the inclination to get as many
godparents during the baptism of their children not because of the sacramental responsibility
that goes with it but simply to widen one’s scope of social contacts or comradeships. The
godparents see godchildren as additional individuals who have to be given gifts during
Christmas season and their birthdays.
For Negritoes, the term still carries with it the traditional value that children are
entrusted to their godparents accompanied with all the responsibilities because they see them
as second parents, as partners in rearing their children. The children, in turn, respect their godparents as such as they do to their parents.
6. Tukil.
This is a material cut from a piece of bamboo with one of the nodes remaining intact
and serving as base and with one end being opened. This could be a decorative material
among Pampanguenos without a basic economic importance.
Negritoes use this material as an improvised drinking glasses and bigger one is used as
container of drinking water which is taken from a spring distant from their lodging place.
Instead of jars, they make use of this material to store their drinking water. The bamboos are
also taken from fhe mountains. This implies that Negritoes have an inclination to be selfsufficient but the rate by which they achieve the status is slow.
7. Ubing-basul.
This is a wild root crop which by now is unknown ro most lowlanders, even the
Pampanguenos. It is similar to “gabi” but it is larger and has a coarser texture when eaten.
They are not readily available in the market because of its “not-so-desirable” characteristics.
On the other hand, Negritoes roam the mountain to gather this wild root crop and is
considered as a staple food for them. Though with a characteristic taste, the presence of
“ubing-basul” in their diet indicates as “complete” one in their standard which is not comparable to “lowland’s balance diet.” Though the root crop could be planted, rarely do they plant it.
Instead, they simply look for it in the mountain. They have a preference for hunting and
searching for food rather than planting it, see it grow and harvest it when mature. This must
have been a reflection of their nomadic nature.
8. Lubun.
This is a “hand-made pack-basket” carried at the back. This is a less popular material
among the lowlanders including the Pampanguenos. Instead of carrying a basket at the back,
they prefer to use baskets carried by the hand or plastic bags which are more readily available.
Negritoes gather materials for basket-making in the mountains and make the baskets
themselves. They carry the pack-basket at their backs with whatever loads they want to
transport from one place to another.
9. Pana.
This is a “bow and arrow” used for hunting and possibly as a weapon against intruders.
But the chief purpose of Negritoes in making “pana” is to provide them with a means with
which to gather food rather than doing it with their bare hands, though they can.
10. Obra.
Obra is job/work among Pampanguenos and would imply varied activities from agri
038
85
cultural to industrial or clerical. Going to work would indicate a concrete number ofp.working
hours and most of the times a fix amount is given as compensation. In going to work, most of
them are in uniform or are dressed up in a manner called for by the nature of their jobs.
Work for Negritoes almost always means doing “kaingin” in their areas, where they
plant crops and leave at the mercy of nature without employing preventive measures especially for fungi infected plants. In the work they are engaged in, rarely do they get an amount
compensated to the work or services they have rendered. Their “kaingin” farming may not
bring them an adequate amount because they are not aware of the modern farming techniques
that can bring an increase in their yield.
11. Mangadi.
“Mangadi” is translated as “praying.” Among Pampanguenos, the word indicates the
desire to communicate with God through community prayers recited together or individually.
Negritoes do pray especially at the beginning of a meeting. They first make the Sign of
the Cross and ask God’s guidance in the activities they engage in. The spontaneity is always
there. They may not have the opportunity to know the basic community prayers of the
Catholics due to inability to read but their oral prayers bring certain messages asking guidance
in activities they plan to do and ask pardon for the shortcomings they have had. One can
easily capture their attention and bring them to prayer and communicate with the Supreme
Being.
In praying, the evidence for support of the Catholic religion is strong. This must be
brought about by the contact with lay Catholic missionaries who had come to extend them
with a helping hand. But there are other religious organizations that are reaching out for them
now and are being influenced by these religious sects.
12. Simba/Pisamban.
Pampanguenos are religious people and would carry out their religious obligations
faithfully in a manner they best understand. The words “simba and pisamban” mean worship
and church, respectively. They are elegantly dressed for the Church especially on Sundays.
The Negritoes must have been infuenced by the different religious denominations. They
would not have the churches that are found in the lowlands but deep in them, a faith in God
exists. This is evidenced by their going to Church, too.
13. Mag-aral.
The word “mag-aral” is interpreted as “studying’. To study among Pampanguenos
generally implies getting a formal education and acquiring such form of learning is a basic
need. They could even have a choice from schools owned and operated by the government or
from those managed by private groups or religious sectors.
For the Negritoes, going to the lowland to acquire formal education is a dream. To a
very few lucky ones, the dream is realized but seldom, if ever, could they reach the stream of
higher education. They have a strong desire to learn or study but there is no school then in
their community, and only until 1973. In Nabuclod, a school has been established for the
Negritoes but school discipline is unknown to them. At the start, there are a number of
students but gradually these students drop out from school. The main reasons are that children
are needed at home to do the household chores and some have to gather food and others are
employed as workers in the lowlands for additional income.
p. 86
They value going to school so much but they could not get their desired education
039
because of certain priorities and acquisition of food tops the list. As of now, they would
rather engage in activities that would yield a satisfied stomach than those that would
satisfy the intellect. Probably, by the time they are equipped with an armed stomach could
they manage to take measures that will quench their thirst for knowledge.
14. Eskuwela.
Among Pampanguenos, the term would mean the school, a structure where students
get the formal education. In this structure, activities are not relevant to gathering food
alone. They are engaged in activities that would enrich the mind. Rarely if ever, do they
undertake measures or steps that can lead them to generate income while in school
because the parents have this as their responsibility. Students are freed from the burden of
searching for food while in school and after school hours, they devote their time making
assignments and preparing themselves for school activities the following day.
The sight of a school among Negritoes is a fulfillment of their desire to learn. In
Sapang-Uwak, another Negrito Community where this desire was achieved when one of
their houses was convered into a one-room school-house. Children are sent to school but
when classes are through, they are occupied with activities that will help their parents in
gathering food.
Schools in the lowlands are inaccessible to them because of the distance and the
roads are terrible. One has to literally climb up the mountain and go down before reaching
the place of study. In this case, more time is spent in traveling to and from the school than
attending to school activities.
In some cases, the schoolhouse is built but rarely is a mentor found, provided one
has the willingness to stay there during the weekdays and go home only on week-ends.
15. Asin.
Asin is salt. Pampanguenos see this material as a very important seasoning and
must accompany all forms of viand in order to be palatable. This is readily available in the
market and is really not costly.
Salt, among Negritoes, is a luxury. Those who have it are only those who have the
opportunity to go to the lowlands and take the risk of being ridiculed by some people.
Those who are employed in the lowlands have the chance to bring the material home to
the mountains and those who could not get it have to satisfy themselves with food without
salt. In the light of their condition, it is not surprising to know that other Negritoes are
used to taking “tasteless” food, while on the other hand, some members of society can
avail of themselves with as such salt as they need and some may even go to waste.
16. Pala.
Pala is interpreted as shovel. Shovels are commonly used by the Pampanguenos for
digging and rarely for agricultural purposes.
Among the Negritoes, shovels are also used for digging but the primary function is
for agriculture. Since Negritoes plant their crops not on plain areas but on mountain
slopes, shovels are deemed necessary to carry out their soil tilling activities.
17. Surgamat.
Surgamat is equivalent to the garden hoe. Being an agricultural tool, Pampanguenos
040
use it for soiling the plants. Since these people are prone to planting on the plain, the hoe
is not as important as the plow.
On the other hand, Negritoes have no choice but to cultivate the mountain slopes.
Because of the irregularities and roughness of the area, a hoe is very important in
performing agricultural activities. In some cases, it takes the function of the plow in
farming, not that the latter is less popular but that it is called for by the nature of the land
to be cultivated.
18. Sarul.
This term is interpreted as plow. It is a farming tool that turns up the soil, it brings
to the open the soil that is found beneath the first layer. This is of importance to
agriculture because it facilitates the utilization of the substances found underneath.
Pampango farmers plow their farm lots because they realize the value of doing so, that is
to maximize the use of nutrients necessary and which are available, while exposing the
hidden soil components.
Negritoes may not use the plow as often as Pampango farmers do. Not that they
have not discovered the value of plowing, but that their land areas to be cultivated are
along mountain slopes or the mountain itself, in which case the use of the garden hoe to
turn up the soil is more convenient and appropriate.
19. Sibul.
This is equivalent to the spring. Among Pampanguenos, in particular those who are
bred in the City, the sight of a spring is a relief from pollution. The beauty of the spring is
admired but rarely is the water tapped for home use since there are complex water system
and artesian well which supply their daily water requirements. In the complex water
system, treated water is pumped through conduits and reaches the homes with the least
effort on the part of the people while artesian wells could be easily put up at convenient
places.
If lowlanders see the spring mainly for its beauty, the Negritoes have a different
outlook. To them, the spring is indicative of survival because it contains the much-needed
material, water. Negritoes make it a point to settle in areas where there is water and in
mountains, springs are the main sources of water, in the absence of artesian wells. They
do not put up emphasis on purifying water provided drinking water and water for
domestic purposes are available, life takes its natural course.
20. Panulu.
Panulu refer to medicine. The significance of medicine in a growing community
reaches a wider scope as new researches are undertaken and discoveries are revealed. An
enducated Pampangueno could by himself distinguish medicines that could be taken
without the prescription of a licensed physician. To him medicines could come in the form
of pills or tablets, syrup or suspension or in ampules. Rarely is he aware of those that
come directly from wild or some garden plants. It ever he is aware, he does not patronize
them because taking the medicine in pill, syrup or ampule form is more convenient for
him.
A contrasting viewpoint is manifested by the Negritoes. They have seen and taken
041
medicines in forms known to lowlanders but since these are not readily available to them,
they provide themselves with what could be obtained from their surroundings. Sometimes
boiling different portions of the plants and taking the filtrate could cure them of their
ailment. At times they simply place pestled or pounded leaves of certain plants on the
affected areas.
However, it is sad to note that there are still some Negritoes who believe that
diseases and illnesses are due to the doings of the anitos (spirit). In spite of the efforts of
both the religious and civic groups, there are still those who shield themselves from new
discoveries and scientific achievement.
21. Gabuk.
This is equivalent to the cornmeal distributed by the CRS. Pampango lowlanders
could not really appreciate the value of this food substance because they do not have to
look for it. This is generally given to those who really have to be helped. Lowland
recipients in a way are grateful because this could add to their food supply since it is
given free.
This material could in a way help the Negritoes in their search for food. Though
they take it when given, they do not approve of the idea. Being given of this food
substance, an atmosphere of self-pity becomes evident. They have no alternative but to
take it since it is substantial to their daily food requirement. The mere giving of material
things to them enhances their being dependent.
22. Kapitan.
This refers to the barrio captain, the head of a group or community as a political
unit. This head is looked up to as one who can govern and explain laws and regulations of
the government to the people.
A barrio captain among the Negritoes commands a strong respect for authority. He
is looked up to as a head, whose word is binding and is lawful. He is authorized to settle
disputes among the members of his community and those that involve his members and
those that of other communities. He also has the authority to speak in behalf of his
community members.
23. Gubiernu.
This refers to the government and among Pampanguenos, this would mean the
whole set-up that governs the land. The government has regional offices to implement
programs and projects and to evaluate them. Pampanguenos, being aware and educated
have the nerve to ask questions and not simply nod their way to agreement with all the
programs. They are rightfully inquisitive and can show it.
Negritoes, being less fortunate and less educated least understand the programs and
projects of the government though they look up to the government as the source of
authority. They obey the laws of the government without hesitation, an indication that
they are law-abiding citizens. Because of their being obedient, some people who disguise
themselves as government representatives could prey on them and threaten them until
they ransack the Negritoes of their own property.
042
24. Kulut,
The word kulut denotes curly hair. Curly or straight hair among Pampanguenos is
not a problem. They can have their hair straightened or stretched when tire of having curly
hair and vice versa.
The Negritoes do not have curly hair but kinky hair. Kinky hair in the Baluga
language is kulut. When they are described as kulut, they become furious because to them
the word has a degrading implication. Since they consider themselves inferior than their
majority counterpart, hearing the word kulut adds to their inferiority complex. Not that
they could not accept their having kinky hair but since most of their learned brothers have
either straight or curly hair, that physical difference is considered by them as a liability
instead of as an asset and which they are ashamed of.
25. Sapa and Ilug.
These words refer to creek and river, respectively. These are small bodies of water
where fishes, crustaceans, some mollusks and water-dwelling plants are found. These are
usually gathered
by the people
nearby for food.

water can flow.
It could then
serve as an irrigation system. They prefer to stay near small bodies of water to at least
relieve them of their water problem. So, the rivers and creeks are sources of water for
domestic consumption and of livelihood.
26. Paranum.
This means earthdam. Pampanguenos use the earthdam to irrigate rice paddies. It is
a structure whereby a water source could be a river is made to flow through a ditch or
canal until it reaches the rice fields. In this way, farmers could have a source of water for
their plants without having to wait for the rainy season.
The Balugas also crave for an earthdam which they believe could be of value in
their farming system. Though they may perceive the necessity, they do not have an 043
equal initiative to put one. So, until now, most of them rely on the rain to water their
plants. The photos below were part of the documentation recorded in 1976 about the
efforts to construct an earthdam in Nabuclod Negrito Community.
Learning is a process and one has to patiently wait for the appropriate response to
take place. Just continue to provide challenging and creative stimuli. After all,
non-formal education thru community organization and development provides a
learning experience for which the Negritoes can become more aware of their
“dignity as human beings that they are worth stopping for”.
This earthdam irrigation project was initiated in response to
the request of the Nabuclod Negrito residents but became
“too close yet so far” because in the end, they perceived the
group as employers and not as community organizers and

044
27. Dayat.
This term refers to rice paddies. Among lowlanders, their rice paddies are properly
and aesthetically structured in order to maximize space and have it thoroughly planted.
They are almost always fulfilled with their water when necessary.
The rice paddies of the Negritoes are situated on mountain slopes. They may not
appear as structured as their lowland’s counterparts but there is an indication of space
utilization for added productivity. Water for irrigation in these areas is a problem but
somehow Negritoes manage in order to survive. They make use of mountain slopes
because they have been driven away by wealthy lowlanders who claim ownership of lands
which otherwise are more productive.
28. Tanaman.
This means plant or any vegetable organism. Plants may range from herbs, shrubs
to tree. Most Pampanguenos prefer to have plants for decoration, shade and for the edible
fruits.
For the Negritoes, some plants serve as sources of housing materials, some for
food, for ornamental purposes and even for making household utensils. There are also
those with medicinal value which are tapped when needed medicines are not available,
but the main focus on plants is to generate food and additional income.
29. Bule.
Bule refers to the fruits of edible plants belonging to the bean family. Among
Pampanguenos, this refers only to the climbing bean plants. They are used as food, in
particular, a good substitute for proteins. Sometimes both the fruit and the seeds are eaten
but most of the times, only seeds are preferred.
Negritoes have learned how to plant beans and some could be gathered within the
community. Since beans are climbing plants, Negritoes do not provide them with trellises,
instead they have them grown in other plants. When harvest time comes, even the plants
that act as trellises are cut down. They utilize bean seeds for food and some are brought to
the market for trading.
30. Palang.
Palang is equivalent to the bolo or large knife. Pampanguenos have bolos in their
household but are not used everyday. It is reserved for activities like cutting down trees
which is actually not a day to day occurrence.
Bolos among Negritoes could be equated to as a basic tool. There are some who
carry along a big knife with them. It is a basic equipment in their job. Carrying a bolo in
the mountains could be an advantageous measure since they have to gather firewood, hunt
for food and remove or uproot unnecessary grasses or weeds in their farm lots. It could
also be a weapon against intruders whose intention is to fool them.
31. Sulu.
Sulu refers to light or luminosity. Lowlanders value not only the natural sources of
light but as well as the artificial sources. It is with the use of artificial light that they are
able to continue their work at night time. In a way, they are able to make use of their time
since they have equipped themselves with the means to provide illumination when
darkness has set in.
045
For Negritoes, artificial sources of light are not as sophisticated as those in the lowlands.
There is no electricity in their areas and this poses as a major set-back in their
development. For their artificial light sources, they usually have gas or oil lamps and
flashlights, enough to illuminate only a small portion of the house. The common source of
light at night time is bonfire.
32. Pulis.
Pulis refers to policeman. In the lowlands, policemen are uniformed, found in
traffic-congested areas and carry with them a gun on one side and a truncheon on the
other.
Policemen among Negritoes arre not uniformed, they have neither guns nor
truncheon. They are ordinary citizens who probably are entitled to settle disputes among
their community members. They, however, are not meddling in traffic situations since
there is not a number of vehicles in their domain.
33. Pulung.
Pulung is equated to a meeting, a conference, a caucus or an assembly. An ordinary
lowland individual may consider a conference as one that pertains to members of political,
school or religious organizations. This may not have a direct bearing on his life.
For Negritoes, a call for a meeting is almost always appreciated. To them, this could
be an indication of new ideas and techniques or a possible problem they have to face. This
is their means of direct ommunication with one another, in particular, when important
informations have to be disseminated. It is through a meeting when they voice out their
problems and share or ask for possible solutions. When they are called for in a meeting,
everyone is enthusiastic and will leave behind whatever they are doing. Their oneness is
very evident in a conference where they patiently listen and some would bother to ask
pertinent questions or may ask for clarification.
34. Conseal.
Conseal means councilor. Councilors are members of a political unit and have a
responsibility in their respective domains. Among lowlanders, they hold office in the
municipal hall where they are consulted by the citizens or submit reports of evaluation of
certain areas to their superiors.
The Negrito Councilors do not hold office in municipal hall but are like other
Negritoes who are more privileged to intervene in case of quarrels among members of
their community. They are more aware of existing conditions than an ordinary Negrito
fellow. This responsibility is for them something to be proud of but not something to take
advantage of.
35. Anak.
Anak means child or children. Both the Pampanguenos and Balugas value having
children, so they make it a point to give the best to them. However, there is a difference in
the environment so Baluga children may not be as developed as their Pampangueno
brothers. Children also strengthen family ties.
36. Aula.
Aula is cage. Pampanguenos place some of their pets like birds in cages to restrict
046 their movements. There is no direct economic significance among them.
For the Negritoes, cage may not only serve as houses for domestic animals but also
used to carry live birds that could be sold to other people. Their cages are usually
temporary dwelling places for their catch.
37. Animal.
Animal is synonymous to the English word animal but the difference lies in the
accented syllable. These are mobile organisms, both wild and domesticated. Both the
Pampanguenos and Balugas consider the animals as sources of food and as pets.
Some Pampanguenos use the term as a way of expressing anger or madness toward
some people, in particular, the rude ones.
38. Bulu.
Bulu refers to the Japanese bamboo. This is a decorative plant among the lowlanders
and is not directly utilized to serve an economic purpose.
Among Negritoes, the bulu is a house material. It is taken from the mountain with
which they build the walls and floors. Though not durable, it could shelter them from the
rain and piercing heat of the sun.
39. Apu.
Apu mean grandparents or grandchildren depending on which syllable is accented. If
the last syllable is accented, the word means grandparents. For both the Pampanguenos
and Balugas, the term is a sign to show respect among the elderly, whether they be
members of the family or simply acquaintance.
40. Kasakitan.
Kasakitan means suffering. This implies all forms of difficulties that may arise from
economic, political, socio-psychological or mental activities. Comparatively, the Balugas
have experienced suffering to a very high degree that their majority contemporaries would
equate their mode of living as suffering itself.
41. Batu.
Batu is stone. This would range from pebbles to the boulders or rocks. Pampanguenos see stones as a component of the soil and a valuable building material.
Negritoes see stones as obstacles along the roads. These structures create a feeling of
isolation because they actually hinder progress from reaching their places. Stones found
on land trails contribute to the Balugas’ having deformed feet.
42. Gayuma.
Gayuma is charm or talisman. Pampanguenos have stories that depict the use of the
talisman but they do not believe in its power of bringing them good luck.
On the other hand, Negritoes still adhere to the belief that the charm or talisman
could make them attractive and win the love of a lady or could do them other favors. This
must have been due to a primitive bearing and a lack of scientific knowledge. But the
Negritoes of today are slowly being weaned from this ancestral attitude and are being
awakened to the reality of new horizons, which is more conceivable and based on recent
scientific findings.
43. Gamat.
Gamat means hands. The upper extremeties enabling man to do manual work which
could allow him to generate income to support his needs. Pampanguenos use their 047
hands to do their work but an equal amount of care is applied so that the hands could
maintain their lovely contours. Most of them would shy away from activities involving
too much use of the hands. They prefer to see hands that are smooth and free from some
scars or blemishes caused by hard labor. Smooth hands with polished fingernails is their
symbol of having achieved a higher economic status.
Negritoes see their hands as means to find a living. They use them for cultivating
the soil and engage in activities that could bring them their daily subsistence. Just like the
lowlanders, they would want to have smooth hands but their situation calls for the
utilization of their hands to the fullest leaving no time at all to care for their blemished
hands, In addition, they do not have the means with which to achieve and maintain the
natural beauty of their hands.
44. Gugu.
Gugu is a native shampoo that is obtained from the barks of trees. From time to
time, Pampanguenos prefer to use the gugu in lieu of the commercial shampoos because it
is free from chemicals, which could damage the hair. This is available in the market but is
not as popular as the commercial brands.
Since Negritoes could not have access to the use of commercial shampoos, they use
the gugu to clean their wooly, kinky hair. The rest are brought to the market for trading.
They, themselves, gather the barks, pound and make them available for use as shampoos.
45. Indu.
Indu refers to mother. Pampanguenos still use the term but most are inclined to use
the equivalent term introduced by the foreigners like “mommy and mama or the more
common one such as ina or inang”. Most of the times, the term indu is used to show
respect to older women of the society, be if their relative or not.
Probably due to less exposure to different types of people, Balugas were not so
influenced by foreign terms as their Pampango brothers. To them, the term “indu” may
not only refer to mother but is also used to show respect to elderly women of the
community.
46. Matamad.
Matamad means lazy or idle. Pampanguenos use this term to describe individuals
who prefer to stay at home doing nothing or those who simply mingle with others when
there is something else to be done.
Among Negritoes, the term refers to those who would not want to leave home and
gather food, those who refuse to cultivate the soil and those who have no goals or
aspiration in life. Negritoes are described as lazy by lowlanders but they are not aware
that these individuals with kinky hair are actuallt spending more time in gathering food
than staying at home.
47. Painawa.
Painawa is rest. This word could mean a lot of things among Pampanguenos. It
could be a pause from the day’s activities, a nap, a vacation at times, a recess, a relaxation,
Sabbath or the Lord’s day.
“Rest” among Negritoes would indicate a respite from food gathering activities. This
048 usually takes place when they have enough food for the succeeding days or are tired
in searching for food even if what they have is not sufficient.
48. Pamangan.
Pamangan refers to food. Pampanguenos are aware of the balanced diet and its
importance to the body. They also know the difference between meal and snacks and what
each is made up of. They have the access to have balanced diet most of the times.
Food among the Negritoes is what nature can provide them. Those who are fortunate
and realize the value of planting and mingling with other people could avail themselves of
other food substances that are required for the body. There are Negritoes who are not
conscious of the type of food they eat, whether or not they provide the nutrients needed by the
body. Most of the times, their food is mostly composed of carbohydrates which is obtained
from root crops. Their meal time is not synonymous to what lowlanders conceive of.
49. Patag.
Patag is plain. A plain is a level ground where most people prefer to build their
dwelling places. Plains are also sites of big factories, industries, school buildings, airports,
highways, agricultural lands and the like. This is how a Pampangueno perceives of a plain.
Negritoes perceive the plain as a Pampangueno does but rarely is his perception
realized. They see the plains as progressive regions but they are not benefited. Instead, they
are slowly being pushed from plain regions to mountainous ones. They would like to live on
plains but circumstances would not allow them. The plains they see are owned by either
people and they simply have to contend themselves with what is left and these are the
mountains which are not being claimed, so far.
50. Patingapun.
Patingapun means whole day. To a Pampangueno, a whole day would include complete
meals, counted working hours for those who are employed, a hectic school day for students
and a busy market day for vendors.
For Negritoes, whole day is from sun rise to sun down and would correspond to varied
activities, most of which are involved in searching for food and bartering crops in the market.
Specifically, the womenfolk care for their kids and do household chores for the non-nomadic
type while the men go hunting, fishing or foraging. Sun down is a sign for resting from the
day’s work.
51. Paugtuan.
Paugtuan means lunch. For a common Pampangueno, lunch is during mid-day and is
usually composed of rice, fish or meat and vegetable. Fresh fruits or sweets are served as
dessert. Soup is also a lunch constituent.
For the Negritoes, lunch is made up of root crops, in particular, the ubing-basul,
bananas and salt if they have. For a few, they may have rice, probably a little fish and salt.
Some Negritoes even miss lunch because of inavailability of food.
52. Pawas.
Pawas is translated as perspiration. The sight of perspiration could be indicative of
labor, tension or a job well-done. Some Pampanguenos would not want to engage in activities
like those that make them perspire a lot. To them, it is something unsightly.
Negritoes, on the other hand, do not mind perspiration. To them, it is a symbol of hard p
work and perseverance. Unlike most lowlanders, Negritoes have nothing to shield
049
themselves from the heat of the sun and so perspire more. Perspiration coming out from their
skin is also a sign of their sturdiness though small in stature and intellectually starved.
53. Pugad.
Pugad refers to nest. Among Pampanguenos, nests are signs that birds are carrying on
the process of perpetuating their species. Some children would climb trees and get the eggs.
Nowadays, lowlanders, including Pampanguenos know for a fact that these organisms should
not be disturbed in their nests because they are agents that bring about balance of nature.
Though there are still some who would gather birds’ eggs from their nests just for fun.
Negritoes may not be aware of birds being agents that are responsible for the balance of
nature or probably, they are so unfortunate that they could not supply themselves with enough
food that they really make it a point to get the eggs when they see nests. The eggs taken from
nests could supplement the lack of protein content in their diet. The sight of nests is a relief
from their usual diet since eggs could be added.
54. Pugu.
Pugu is quail. Quails belong to the family of birds and are raised by lowlanders
including the Pampanguenos. They are valued for their eggs and the meat is made into
delicacies.
Negritoes do not raise quails. They usually hunt for them and get the meat and eggs,
and the presence of these in their diet is again a beg leap. Since they could not avail of these
birds at all times, most of the times, their diet is made up of root crops. Those who often go to
the lowlands may have heard of quail-raising but have not applied it in their areas.
55. Pangaku.
Pangaku means promise. A promise is an assurance of doing or not doing something.
Being an assurance, it is almost always expected. The impact of promises regarding business
activities is still significant among lowlanders, including Pampanguenos. It is through the
fulfillment of promises among others that one gains prestige and self-esteem.
For the Negritoes, a promise means a lot. It is indicative of dignity and integrity. If they
are promised something, they expect for it and if they made promises they try their very best
and at the expense of their resources to accomplish them. Promises, among them, have a
greater impact. Generally, they hold on to their promises since are men of honor, though,
economically and socially deprived.
56. Uran.
Uran is rain. Rain is a form of precipitation by which water that evaporated goes back
to the earth. Since Pampanguenos are more exposed and learned see rain as natural happening.
Rain would increase the water levels in dams which is used to generate electricity. It is also a
means by which plants are watered, though, they have devised ways and mechanisms to
enable water to reach the farms and t depending entirely on rain. Rain brings flood especially
in areas where there are denuded mountains or where the drainage is clogged.
Rain among the Negritoes is almost always a blessing. It will serve to water their farm
plants since they are now involved in kaingin farming. Rain would bring them additional
food like frogs which they would catch in their ricefields. But too much rain poses a danger.
Since their roads are not concrete, rain water from the mountain tops reaching the slopes could
p. 87
050 damage or erode their “roads” and for a time could cut their contact with lowlanders.
57. Patibung.
Patibung means trap. Pampanguenos would envision a trap as a material that can catch
an animal or in personal relationship, it could be a trick or a swindle.
Negritoes see trap as an ordinary object but more often than not it is an animal trap
where a bait is placed to attract sizable animals to be used for food. Animal traps are scattered
in areas where prospective prey may come across. Their catch would be feasted on and serve
as food for a few days, during which they stop temporarily hunting for food.
58. Makatimpu,
This is a form of sitting position when chairs or benches are not available. Individuals
concerned have their feet flat on the ground, knees bent with the legs and thighs meeting
together while the lower portion of the buttocks almost touch the ground. Among Pampanguenos, this could be indicative of idleness.
On the other hand, this manner of sitting down is for the Negritoes a form of relaxation
and not necessarily a sign of lazyness. It is in this position that they are found around a
bonfire discussing points they have to be aware of and possible dangers they have to face. If
only they could avail themselves of chairs and benches, they could get rid of sitting in this
“unsightly” manner. But for them, this is culturally acceptable.
59. Maganaka.
Maganaka means kind. Pampanguenos see kind people as those who are concerned and
selfless. Since they are more educated than the Negritoes, they could easily detect people who
are kind from those who are not.
Negritoes would always want to be with those who are kind but there are times when
they are deceived by unconscientious ones, disguised to be kind. Their inability to detect right
away those who could not be trusted would be attributed to their being less exposed to the
different types of people.

CYDFI Scholarship Program in Nabuclod
There are two critical community issues that CYDFI needs to address prior to
being able to fully implement the Scholarship Program among the Aetas in Nabuclod,
namely: (1) Water and (2) Advocacy to elevate Nabuclod Primary to Elementary
School education. Please refer to Focus Group Summary Discussion for the holistic
understanding on the priority of Needs of the Aetas on pp. 9-19 of this Journal.
The following is a water project proposal on the Construction of Water Pipe
Line, Reservoir and Water Distribution Model in Nabuclod which will be used to seek
financial grants from agencies sympathetic to the Mission of CYDFI in the Philippines.
Project Title
CONSTRUCTION OF
WATER PIPE LINE AND RESERVOIR
(Length of Pipe Line = 3,600m)
Location of Project
Nabuclod Negrito (Aetas) Community
Nabuclod, Floridablanca, Pampanga, Philippines
A Project of the
Nabuclod Negrito (Aetas) Community Executive Advisory Committee:
Downtown Floridablanca Chapter and Chevalier School Chapter
of the
Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc.
Calantas, Floridablanca, Pampanga, Philippines 2007
A Project Proposal By
Antonio M. Mendoza, Ph.D. & Rita Nabong-Mendoza, R.N.
CYDFI Founders
*23 April 2004*
140
CONSTRUCTION OF WATER PIPE LINE & RESERVOIR
Location: Brgy. Nabuclod, Floridablanca, Pampanga, Philippines
by: Antonio M. Mendoza, Ph.D., CYDFI Founder
l. PURPOSE OF REQUEST
The purpose of this request is to finance the “Construction of Water Pipe Line and Reservoir”
to benefit the Aetas (Negritoes) for their potable water needs in Brgy. Nabuclod, Floridablanca,
Pampanga, Philippines. The source of the spring water is about 3,600 meters away from their village
that is flowing abundantly all-year-round which can be simultaneously tapped to redirect its use to
irrigate their agricultural activities that would create and improve their economic and living condition.
2. STATEMENT OF NEED
The Aetas in Nabuclod have
settled since time immemorial along the
mountain range bordering the PampangaZambales Provinces in the Philippines.
As modern life continues to
benefit the life of mainstream society, the
Aeta community benefitted, too. There is
Nabuclod
a school built in 1973 (up to 3rd grade)
and a well-paved road constructed after
the famous eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
And yet, among other things that was not
Source of Map: Bureau of Forestry
PNR: Proposed Negrito Reservation
realistically addressed was the NEED of Aetas for potable water. There were attempts from socio-civic
and non-governmental agencies to bring modern technology for tapping potable water (deep-well) but
were practically unsuccessful. STILL, the only source for viable potable water now is either for them to
go to the CREEK at the foot of the mountain and/or the artesian well, that is hardly pumping water.
And so the community, especially the school age children,
suffers the consequence of lack of water, having poor
sanitation and hygiene thus affecting their over-all health
conditions. So, you have school teachers, too, who have to
bring their own potable water supply in bottles just to
neutralize and survive the discomfort of lack of water
Focus Group conducted on August 9, 2003, by the
Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc..
141
affecting their own personal comfort and hygiene, too.
3. RELATION TO CYDFI VISION AND PROGRAM INTERESTS
Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. (aka:CYDFI Philippines) is a non-profit corporation
registered in the Philippines with a VISION “Towards Community Growth and Development in Bo.
Calantas and Nabuclod Negrito Community thru the CYDFI Scholarship Program by Using SWREM
Theory: A Social Responsibility”. SWREM stands for “Spiral With Ripple Effect Motion”, a concept
design by the Founder of “helping poor but deserving talented youth help himself SO HE CAN
HELP OTHER YOUTH, as well”. This methodology of “spiral with ripple effect motion” creates a
predictable outcome of success as applied in the scholarship program, for youth is expected to help
other incoming scholars from the same community. This will pave a credible effect not only of
personal but community growth and development among the Aeta youth, as well. Thus, it is very
essential to address their basic and fundamental needs while the Foundation explores ways to engage
the Aeta youth into the scholarship program.
Since the youth of Nabuclod is one of the identified beneficiaries of the CYDFI Scholarship
Program, the Foundation recognizes two critical issues articulated by community members during the
Focus Group on August 9, 2003, that could adversely affect the effective full implementation of the
Scholarship Program. One of them was the need for a viable supply of potable water and secondly, the
advocacy to elevate the school status from primary to the elementary education level. So, as soon as the
issue on potable water is appropriately addressed, the Foundation is going to move on to pursue the
advocacy for elevating the Nabuclod School, from primary to elementary level of education.
4. INTERVENTION
•
Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. has identified the source of potable water during the
Focus Group from a “spring” about 3,600 meters away from the Aeta Village.
•
One of the members, Rey Manlulu, of the Foundation’s Nabuclod Negrito Community Executive
Advisory Committee (NNCEAC) was instructed to seek a “pro-bono technical service” from the
Engineering Department of the Municipality of Floridablanca, Pampanga.
•
The Municipal Engineer had gone up with him to Nabuclod for his technical assessment on the
viability of the project on “whether the spring water can be realistically redirected closer to the
village by using a gravity-induced flow of water by constructing one reservoir at the source of
the spring connecting it thru pipe line (3,600m) and end up to connect it to another reservoir
built closer to the community”. Per feedback from the Engineer, the project is technically viable.
•
Site Landscape Profile on “Construction of Water Pipe Line and Reservoir Project” is presented
with the following captured images to authenticate and demonstrate its feasibility and viability.
(Note: Need to validate Engineer’s conclusion with Geodetic Engineer, re: landscape elevation)

7. OUTCOME MEASURE
•
It is expected that once the Project is fully operational, the members of the Nabuclod Community
will experience the joy of having a healthier environment (personal, family, community and
school) in terms of having a general improvement of health and sanitation in the community and a
better hygiene, especially among school children.
•
Consequently, the ripple effect of the project will be felt in terms of the community’s socio-civic
life being enhanced as they enjoy the comfort of life, with the access to potable water supply right
in their midst.
•
The school children shall be empowered to fully maximize their God-given potential to become
the best of what they are capable of being and becoming because they can now comfortably
function as they experience improved hygiene, health and sanitation.
•
The school children can aspire for academic excellence in a healthy academic competitive
environment geared towards the selection process of the top three (3) 6th grade graduating youth
to be qualified for the Scholarship Program of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. per
Criteria in the Handbook of the Foundation which is established for that matter.
•
The members of the community can be motivated to pursue individual and community farming to
enrich their economic and living condition, thus enabling them to become more productive
members of the society.
8. TOWARDS INSTITUTIONALIZATION
It is by design when this Project is fully operational that it shall create a ripple effect of
progress and development among the Aetas in Nabuclod, among them are:
•
The Project will provide a solution to the Aetas immemorial problem of having an abundant
potable supply of water in the midst of their community.
•
The Water Supply Reservoir is supplied with a non-stop flow of water from the “Spring” which
now becomes the life line for Aetas in the community.
•
This supply of water will guarantee the maintenance and improvement of their health, sanitation,
hygiene, socio-civic, economic and living condition.
•
The Aetas, especially the school children, will become more aware of their dignity as a people
and will take pride of what, as a community, can do and enhance their life and become productive
members of the society.
•
The solution to their water problem is one obstacle for the full implementation of the Scholarship
Program of the Foundation for the Aeta School Children.
•
That when the Scholarship Program becomes operational in the community, it will create an
implication of both personal and community growth and development in Nabuclod.

Suggestion #1 to the Community: Invite the Department of Agriculture/Fisheries
for technical assistance on how to maximize livelihood programs in the community in consonance with the NOW limited availability of water resources.
Suggestion #2: Elect Chairman & Members of the Community Agricultural and
Aquatic Farming Projects Committee = to be responsible in implementing that
the 2 Farms become productive livelihood programs for the members.
Suggestion #3: If surplus is generated from the 2 Farms, learn how to effectively
market the PRODUCE (Farm Harvest) to benefit the members of the Community Agricultural and Aquatic Farming Projects.
(a) Notes for Engineer/Rey on Items #1 & #2.
1.
2.
3.
4.
(b) Items #3 & #4 are for Nabuclod Officers.
Since the primary factor for the delivery of water from the MAIN WATER RESERVOIR to the different COMMUNITY
RESERVOIR OUTLETS is by the FORCE OF GRAVITY; make sure that the LATTER are constructed in lower elevations
than that of the FORMER so that the FLOW OF WATER coming from the FORMER is going to run faster to the LATTER.
Distribution of Water should address FIRST the “filling-up of Reservoir Outlets” by connecting their respective pipe outlets
lower than the overflow pipe of the main water reservoir.
The community has to assign a caretaker (weekly rotation) for each RESERVOIR OUTLET responsible for turning OFF/ON
the Shut-Off Valve when the Reservoir Outlet is already filled and overflowing with water. All reservoirs shall have
overflow pipes to trigger OFF/ON of Shut-Off Valve.
Encourage children to do gardening/beautification projects around Reservoir Outlets. This will be a competition. There will be
PRIZES for 1st, 2nd, 3rd most beautiful Reservoir Outlet, including maintaining the cleanliness of TOILETS.
