Philippines tourism: Members of the Ati tribe fight for their land

Members of the Ati tribe in the popular Philippine resort town of Boracay say they’ve been forced out of their land by developers.
The government had given the island’s original inhabitants the property, but it now says it is better suited to tourism.
The Ati say they can’t trust any offer to relocate them.
Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from Boracay, the Philippines.

If the land was determined unsuitable then they should receive more support not more displacement. Can you reverse erosion there? Just help them help themselves

In the same way they invaded muslim majority region mindanao, when the native people defend Manila, they are called Terrorists

Why did Islam invade those islands ?

@@kamalasanan7 In the Igorot territories, the Hispanics are more sneaky about it. Usually they are not allowed to own land except in the cities so they instead either marry a local or beg the naive elders. Now they became land grabbers who continuesly steal lands while claiming they are Igorot.

Same in the Igorot territories. The Hispanics can own land in the cities but not they've been stealing indigenous lands anyway.
