Lugta Ke Tamama to show IP struggle in Boracay

The documentary film Lugta Ke Tamama will be launched March 7, 2018 at the University of the Philippines Visayas Auditorium, Iloilo City Campus, starting 1:00 P.M. together with an Indigenous Peoples Conference in PAGMUKLAT 2018.

Lugta Ke Tamama is directed by Prof. Kevin Piamonte together with Prof. Emmanuel Lerona and Ruperto Quitag. The film intends to provide a profound understanding on the plight of the Ati community in Brgy. Manoc-Manoc in the world-renowned Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan.

The documentary film reflects the struggles of the Ati community in their quest to preserve their culture in an island life that underwent rapid modernization, commercialization, and environmental exploitation. The film also underscores the challenges that the Ati’s are confronting to acquire education in order to attain recognition and inclusion in modern society.

The film launch and viewing will be attended by senior high school, college students and invited guests and will be followed by a deliberation through a selected set of panelists who will discuss issues on education, ancestral domain, media, stakeholders’ participation, perspectives from government’s education agency, and the Ati community.

Among the panelists who will provide insights and analysis are the following: Dr. Ma. Helena Desiree Terre, Colegio de Sagrado; lawyer Daniel Dinopol; Nestor Burgos of the Philippine Daily Inquirer; Sister Victoria Ostan, DC, the Sister Servant of the Daughters of Charity for the Ati community; representative from Commission on Higher Education (CHED); and Vangie Tamboon, representing the Ati community.
