Like in many other indigenous communities, aeta's here struggled to have a land they could call their own. After several years of struggle and killings of some of their colleagues, the government finally gave them what they have been asking for.
"The government has given aeta's Certificate of Ancestral Domain, However, the government could not sustain them without the cooperation of the Catholic Church, different organizations and the civil society," said Quintayo.
