Mangyan Village
Hi everyone! If ever pupunta kayo ng Puerto Galera, pls visit Mangyan Village. They have so many handcraft items like coaster for 20 pesos, earings, bags etc. Madami kayong mabibiling souvenirs and gamit na sustainable at matibay plus naka help pa tayo sa mga katutubo natin. Pls be respectful na din po sa ating mga katutubo. Nag ooffer sila ng tour sa village nila. You can visit their working area kung saan sila gumagawa ng mga handcraft products. Better if weekdays kayo pumunta kase sarado yun kapag Sunday so yung ibang part lang ng village yung malilibot nyo. Visiting their village shows us kung gaano kayaman ang culture at history natin. Btw wala po silang entrance, tip (any amount) lang po hinihingi ng guide nilang mangyan. If ever nakakaluwag naman kindly give them good amount of money coz they're well spoken. Maganda yung products nila but based on my observation medyo hindi nasu-support yung mga families duon. Maybe hindi enough yung nae-earn nila. Hopefully may mga charity groups na maka visit sa kanila para sa mga kids. Madami pa ding mga bata ang walang maayos na saplot at payat. The visit was fun madami akong natutunan but was also sad to witness those kids. I can't stop thinking about them. I hope na ngayong pasukan makapag-aral sila lahat and sana meron din silang mga gamit. #SupportLocal #supportlocalproducts #ecofriendly #handcrafts
