Ati community in Boracay also preparing for APEC

 The Aeta people, a group of ethnic tribe in this resort island, is also preparing for the forthcoming Asia Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) in 2015.

Sister Ma. Flor Almasco, a Catholic nun, said Tuesday that the indigenous community feels like they too could be able to benefit from the APEC summit.

The National Organizing Committee of APEC earlier said that Boracay will host the APEC trade ministers meeting by May of 2015.

"Part of the preparation is possible livelihood opportunities among the members of the Ati tribe for the APEC. This preparation is being supported by the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP)," said Almasco who currently serves as project coordinator of the Holy Rosary Parish.

The NCIP is currently facilitating the building of schools and other basic services centers for the Aetas.
