One grouped was discovered living in a cave on 1971, these people is primitive and naïve about modern
civilization.
One hunter named Dafal discovered these indigenous people
Also the Businessman named Manda Elisalde introduced these people to the world
These indigenous people called as a Tasaday
They discovered that there is 26 tasaday only, tasaday was present by Elisalde and Ferdinand Marcos to
foreign publisher and anthropologist and other personalities. They said that Tasaday was come from
stone age.
Tasaday was present and been topic in a published article that talks about how tasaday became the
image of peace in the midst of chaos
On 1986, one foreigner publisher came back where the tasaday is and it surprised him that the tribe of
Tasaday was seen in full clothes
Along with some anthropologists, they declared the tasaday to be fake, they said they were farmers who
were only dressed up by Elisalde to act in front of the camera. Tasaday was been made fun by the other
people and saying that they are liars.
As kara david came back , she start to explore where the tasaday lives along with the group of Philippine
army since there is a bandit along the mountains that they will pass through
From coronadal south cotabato,5 hours using a motorcycle bike to get to the nearest mountain
After long walk that kara david and her team did, they discovered a house on the mountain that they are
passing by, they met one of the living tasaday named Dul.
On 1980s Dul left the cave because her children got engaged by a manobo blit from south cotabato but
she never forget what life she grew up
Mafalu was the one along with Dafal who guide elisalde to the cave of tasaday using of helicopter while
mafalu and his companion used to hike to get to the cage
As they walk by for long hours, they’ve seen a plant that gives a sign that they are closer to the place of
tasaday tribe, because this plant is used by tasaday as their bahag or clothes.
As they reach the cave, they been welcomed by some tasaday that still living on that cave.
The cave that tasaday is living in is unique, the cave has a different hole that takes as a room to sleep on
it. Those holes signify a different people or family to live on it, it says that the smallest hole was lived by
a women who don’t have a husband or still a teenager while the other hole that is much bigger lived by
a parents with their adult childs and those who are husband and wife with a baby lived on the
lowermost of the cave since it will be easy for them to check on their child
According to Dul, she have been memorized the different rooms in the cave and she said that Bilangan
was the one who sleeps on the uppermost of the cave, the leader of the tasaday
Why would these foreign publisher insist that Tasaday was fake if dul still memorize each room on the
cave after 30 years and if tasaday was a Farmer of Manobo blit why Tasaday and Manobo blit have a
different dialect and language
IF they were asked what they are, Dul was a Manobo tasaday while mafalu is a Manobo blit
According to their ancestors, Manobo tribe was attacked by a disease aforetime, to escape the disease
some of them lived on the cage more than 1 year ago but as they escaped to the disease they have been
left by the time
According to the picture that have been captured by some foreign publisher, there is tasaday named
lobo who is 14 years old that time that has been presented in the article presenting his journey in the
forest, in that published article he was seen hanging in vines, eating food and getting surprised by the
things that he seen for the first time. Lobo was the child of Bilangan who is the leader of tasaday and
lobo became the image of tasaday before
According to Lobo now, the one named mamadaku, promised to them that they will help the poor, but
as the time goes by they realize that they bring chaos to the tribe and never have been peaceful as the
foreign people discovered their tribe and place.
Because of the accusation of Oswald to them on 1986 that they are lying about their identity
On 1988 in the middle of issue of tasaday, lobo and other tasaday was brought to Manila to prove that
tasaday was real but some of them still hold on the theory that tasaday was a farmer of a Manobo blit
who are dressed up and act up in the camera and it made Lobo to be scared and angry to them because
none of them believed that tasaday tribe was real and being unconcerned after taking advantage the
tasaday and after that traumatic experience to tasaday tribe, lobo was one of the affected people in
terms in emotional and physical terms, as he lose his trust to people thinking that every people that he
can encounter will kill him and will use as an advantage again.
Tasaday was out of the civilization because of the lacked of chance to get a work that is why tasaday
tribe was surviving in the middle of forest using the resources that they can get in their environment.
They used to eat Bungang kahoy and Bunga ng uway and according to Mafalu, dafal was the one who
will provide the clothes and itak for them in exchange of women from manobo to be married to one of
the tasaday, one of them is cindy who is the sister of mafalu. But the siblings of mafalu tried to live to
the caved with their partners but it didn’t last since some of them cant lived the way the tasaday did, it
was hard for them to survive every day that is why some of them decided to go out of the cave.
Bikini was one of the grandson of Dul who is currently studying in school, According to Lobo
