I have watched a special documentation about tau’t-bato and since then I got interested with them. I admire their dedication and despite the hardship, they still continue to live a life full of happiness and dedication. They inspire me much as I think what happen to those people who got fat bank account, rather than helping these people. This is just the right example that people can live the harmony of life without having so much. They were the people who can never think to do cruel things or outsmart other because of the contentment they feels towards of what they were doing. I been wishing to come to this place, perhaps soon when I have enough saving. they just made me cry and I salute them for their bravery of treasuring what they have.

Hello Jacob. You really do great work. I am a fellow photographer who first went to the PH in 2009, in order to document the croc hunting in Mindanao. Crocodile photography is my specialty, (www.crocphotos.com). I came across the Mamanwan People, also called the Kong Kings, who are probably tribal ancestors to the Agta and Dumagat People of Luzon. I have taken up the cause of the poor and down trodden, for I have seen the toll the negligence of corrupt politicians have taken on the people, forced evacuations, poor health and sanitary conditions, poor education and job training, despair, etc. I go thru Cebu at almost every occasion when I head for Mindanao. I would like to share some insights with you, and visa versa, about bat catching and the next possible pandemic (Hot Zone), other tribes and folklore, etc. Please keep me posted. All the best. John

I have been Signapan for several times, all for a documentary program for forieng networks. I am so happy to see tumihay and his family here. They have no idea how famous they are in the outside world. They are extremely shy people, and with a very good heart. Its one heck of an adventure. I always remember the faces.

I have been in Singnpan too during my college years and I’m so thankful for your photos. I get a chance to look over the place once again and see how Tumihay and his family nowadays. Ernisa’s still young when we visited the place. I’m younger too during those times And I am amazed that Maman Buano is still strong and healthy. We are forbidden to take much photos before and our cameras are not that good. Thank you so much again.
