ndigenous people are considered as the country’s ancestors. They made our history possible. However, they were driven into the forest by civilization. Now, they are almost forgotten. Their way of living deteriorated. Aid from the government and various organizations sometimes never reach them because of their locations.

| The Manila Allied Lions Club took time in delivering their services to the Aetas of Mt. Nabuklod in Pampanga and Dumagats in Angat, Bulacan. They conducted medical, dental outreach. They distributed basic needs to the Aetas and Dumagats like bath soaps, toothbrush/toothpaste, clothing, slippers and many more. Since they needed education badly, the Lions had their schoolhouse repaired and distributed school materials as well. They took time in giving lectures regarding their health and distributed seeds for them to plant so that they will become self sufficient. |
