Better to live in a shack with love than a mansion with hate.

there are 30 Negrito tribes throughout the Philippines. Aeta is just the name on the west side of Luzon. In Visayas, they're Ati. Boracay, where you were, has an Ati tribe in the interior of the island.

Always amazes me that people who live like this always seem to be way happier than us in the west who work all day and have everything we could ever want compared to these folks. And we are typically as miserable as hell !!

They are not African migrants btw. These are the original, indigenous inhabitants of the Philippines. Thailand also have the "Mani people" who are also forgotten.

Sly, you're the man! I've seen quite a bit of PI vlogs and I'm pretty sure you're the first that's ever visited and done a vlog on this community. Very kind of you for taking the time unlike many of the other PI vloggers just doing vids on walking street, girls, girls, and girls. You are too kind sir, keep up the amazing work. stay safe and travel safe always. peace!

Thank you so much. I have traveled to 18 countries and lived in 4. I promise that I have NEVER heard of this place. Now, it is definitely on my list of a place to visit. Thank you so much.

Thank you for delving and portraying a slice of rural life for this Filipino community. And for your participation in experiencing a bit of their culture.

Pinoy in Florida. Archeological history. When Asia and Africa was connected by a land bridge thousands of years ago. Early people from Africa migrated

BEAUTIFUL PPL. I love their village. So much love and respect.

Can't hide that black presence... We Are THE FATHERS & MOTHERS of Earth.. 🖤🌏

I love the province life, so peaceful :) Thank you Sly for visiting our beautiful country Philippines :)

Sly has done It again, another great video. And these people are such beautiful people and the original people who are full of sincerity, no guile. This Is wonderful

Aetas are known to be nomads and are very good hunters but much of the jungle and lush vegetation just seems hard up and is very slow to come back ever since the 2nd most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded (the first one happened underwater). All of that area used to be very jungly and very green, unlike now which is mostly gray. A really drastic change to their nomadic way-of-life. Btw, did you know that the Aetas were the ones who taught the American soldiers jungle survival skills, which they passed down or also trained others soldiers with until today.

Thank you for showing the indigenous people of P.I. life and their village.

Thanks for this one. Never heard any of this before now.

My good friend in college was half Aeta. Her dad was Aeta. They lived in Hawaii. That was the first time I ever heard of those group of people. I went to college before the internet was around.

Sly - you have a great personality! I love the way you interact with people. Respectful, interested, and fun. This was a wonderful video.

Another awesome video family. What a heartwarming and humbling experience. Bless up.🙏🏾 Brotha keep living your best life.✌🏾 I will be making a donation and I hope to make it to the Philippines in 2024.

This people are part of the Southeast Asian ethnic groups that Spanish called "Negritos" (it means "little blacks"). Originally they were majority in that region (thousands of years ago), and probably they are descendants of some of the first humans that migrated from Africa to the east through Asia. Over time, they were mostly absorbed and replaced by mongoloids that arrived from the north (from Central Asia and Northeast Asia) in bigger numbers and today are majority. Also, that's why today, people of this ethnic groups are pretty much admixtured, and in fact many are predominantly mongoloid.

I always wished I was wealthy enough to help the different black communities around the world.

No one is experiencing stress, anxiety or depression. They’re happy!

I am Sundanese, from Java island . some of my family have dark skin and curly hair. In my opinion, the Negrito tribe is a native of Southeast Asia who then experienced genetic assimilation with immigrants from the north who had light skin and straight hair.

The Aetas are Filipinos. Living in the Philippines, people do not call them anything else unless pressed and then we call them Aetas. All people of all skin tones are considered Filipinos. People here do not make distinctions. You go to Luzon and people have lighter skin. You go to Mindanao people have darker skin. All are Filipinos. All are welcome.

This is an awesome video, thank you so much 🔥🎯🎶🙏🏾

What a beautiful video! WOW... I'm so grateful to see another creator telling stories like this! LOVE it bro! :)

you got my respect man. aeta's are friendly people.

The original people of the Philippines. See the Spanish American war and see how and what the US white soldiers said about the Filipino people. Great content.

Very interesting, Sly. Keep it up 👍🏿

Good vlog 👍

Thank you for contacting those tribes from the Philippines. I do appreciate your effort.

Thanks for doing this video sir

I have so much respect for the Aetas/Atis because they were the first inhabitants here in the Philippines. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I hope I can visit them someday.

Hey they don’t play over there they got kids for days no population shortage in the village great video thanks for exploring for us!!!!

If you notice the sand in the ground, it's because of the Volcanic Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. That place was a total waste land before.

Very respect. Thank you so much

Nice vid Sly

You're fun to watch bro. Funny personality haha. Never stop being yourself brother. Liked! You will reach 1 million subscribers faster than you think.

These may be forgotten people but you brought them back to life. Literally, great video. Amazing tour of these people. Crazy to think that they are the originals of the Philippines.

Had to come back to this, I love this video...These folks are my main reason for traveling to Philippines, plus Palawan

wow...these people are so lovely and friendly. There's a good spirit here.

Beautiful and peaceful people ✌

Thank you for going on this journey and sharing brother.

The dog was coming for you! Lol!

Beautiful people beautiful faces , happy children oh what peace

I’m really like that showed this, visited prior to Pinatubo eruption. The infrastructure still ongoing - Aeta-tribe communities seemed displaced/dispersed .. grreat content ..

I love this you see the love in the village and how nice Philippinos are

New subscriber from Philippines.. thank U for visiting our brother/sister aetas

I lived like this as a kid in the Philippines, and now I’m a lot miserable here in Canada. I’m too spoiled to live like this anymore, but I do miss the simplicity and happiness

So happy for you that you get to travel to different parts of the world making memories on your own and sharing your experiences. I hope you get to do everything twice in your life so you can come back to all the countries that you visited and connect with certain individuals that you have befriended throughout your adventures. 💪🏽🤞🏽💯🙏🏽

They are the descendant of the original inhabitants of aeta land so called today Philippines, and Philippines meaning the small children of the tyrant Spanish King philip 2

Nice video✌

The Aeta people are no other than one of the 12 Lost Tribes of Israel, originally known as the Tribe of Naphtali, in the Bible, they are also live in the Hawaiians Islands and are known as Tongans, Samoans, and Hawaiians. Facts!

Good ancient Africans in Asia. Black s lived on Every continent before 1492.... That is why all indigenous people are either brown or black or mixed race peoples.

There's a lot of African rooted tribes in the Phillipines, and it's a shame they're slowly dying out and forgotten. So this is nice to see. People need to know about our blasian brothers and sisters.

Dope video bro! 🤙🏽

😍😍😍

I wish I can go to tjis place one day

💯

Please let's support these people... I nearly shed tears when I was watching the life these people are experiencing... And I feel they deserve better with much care and love....🇿🇲🇿🇲 these people are lovely, innocent and very warm.. despite what they're going through, that doesn't permit them to acting out of the way and being welcome to everyone... And personally I love them. Please let's us show love towards these people 😭😭😭😭😢❤️.... Especially international organizations please please 🙏🙏🙏😢

You remind me of my uncle who retired from the navy and always wore jeans and flipflops when in the Philippines through photos he sent us in the 70s-90s. Auntie is from Leyte. Those black chickens are expensive but used for health or medicinal purposes.

Hello from Texas! Very nice video! Where are you exactly?

Trumpo is the homemade version of PI for a toy called top in the USA

I love this man you’re so wholesome and sweet to these people even when you don’t know the language 👏👏😅

Wait...these are the original inhabitants? of the Phillipines? OK....this is why it's good to get out and see the world.

The Land of Ophir🤫Where King Solomon got its Gold🤗Columbus, Magellan, Dr. Jose Rizal, and Bush knew🤗

Boodle fight style eating.. Very popular way of eating at parties everywhere in the Philippines . pretty cool.

If I ever live there I places like that would be cool to explore the volcano and the local culture and history. I've been to Isabela province and Cavite, Batangas and Manila (least favorite) thus far. I hope to make it down southwards of the country some day as it seems less traveled much like the northern part of Luzon.

The stone used for jeans as a acid wash

HEY, FROM WEST VIRGINIA USofA,, 😅

Lol I've been to AC I know you hung out on Fields Ave.

I’m thinking about going here. I want to hike Mt. Pinatubo plus my daughter is half black half filipino.

Is it Barangay Nabuclod, FLoridablanca Pampanga right?

😊😊😊😊

I see people saying they walked there but no one can explain the similar looking groups found in Paupa New Guinea, Andaman Islands, Madagascar etc as if ancient people couldnt traverse the sea.

Sly are you planning to visit the Aeta again ? Respect J

Where is the exact place address Sir? don't mind asking im also aeta from the mountain relate this people who lives hard life, God bless and be safe always Sir

You said " it's like dominoes" lmfao. Niice.

The good thing about the education is pubic colleges/universities are free, but they have to pay for books and travel and housing allowances. Private universities are not free, same like in states. But still super cheap by western standards. I don't donate to many causes because many NGO's monetary donations seem to go to the top but locals receive minimal resources. Therefore, I do my little part by helping a few students with their monthly allowances for personal effects and travel/lodging fees. I feel better knowing they receive all the funds and benefit directly.

hi do you have any information on the contact of the tour guide you used

for the the haters, this video has poor that Sly washes his hands before eating.... lmao. Great video man its nice to see the village life

I would live there peacefully, compare to some city in America!

What is the story behind some of the looking melanated? Some of the ladies have afros.

Aeta are not forgotten people. Most Filipino's have Aeta blood in them..Filipinos are mixture of different asian, pacific island, Spanish , American blood..

Ther roots from Africa small African.

They look like Aboriginals native in Australia

these people are some of the most marginalized in the philippines. there's often a huge regional discrimination going on there. for instance, if you're from the visayas or mindanao and you go to luzon particularly manila, you often get ridiculed most of the time because of your accent. you are also seen as a lesser class. the term "bisaya" can sometimes be used in such a negative connotation. i'm not even referring to the negritos with that. these are your typical malay looking filipinos. then you have the indigenous negritos, that includes aetas, ati, etc have it worse than any ethnic groups in the country. it's mostly because of their darker skin tone and curly hair which are both seen in the philippines as unattractive features. the beauty standard there is having light skin tone also with straight hair. you can mostly blame the media into conditioning locals to have that beauty standards. some people blame it on colonial inherited mindset.

Aetas are very interesting Asians. It was said that their origin came from Africa. But the question is, how did they come to Asia?

it seem everyone trying to etc on our people everywhere they be? all over the entire world hey? i hope these people understand who they are

Why these aetas go in urban cities?

These negros are Hebrews which means they are specifically related to the Socalled African American & some of the W. Africans. These are Ebers grandchildren from Joktan.

Bro. You are the first person to show the community of African people of the Phillipines 👍

Should learn peoples language before visiting their land. With technology we have the means.

Joktanites, the same bloodline of the hebrews

You should be an anthropologist my guy

I think you have a responsibility to educate modern Africans/Diaspora descends(Black folks) that these are not ‘Black people’…In short, they descend from the earliest groups to leave Africa and migrate eastward. They are the furthest related to modern Africans. Everyone else non-Black looking are closer related to modern Africans…One explanation is that the Aetas and similar people retained much of the original phenotype because they remained near the equator…These are all basic anthropology. Idk what’s so hard to understand…So many Black people are obsessed with race and are conditioned to faithfully believe old European concepts of race which are now obsolete. Nowadays they believe crap from cultish Black supremacist groups like Black Hebrew, Hotep etc (which ironically just remixes white supremacist race concepts). This ignorance is spreading like wild fire. Seems like many Black folks are doing a fine job disinforming each other. It’s incredibly sad…That said, we don’t need them to meddle with Filipino history. We are also conquered people. Much of our identities/traditions/spirituality have been lost as well…Stop columbusing what’s ours!

Very interesting! Evolution of migrated people.

There are Natives Asian African all over South East and Australia and New Zealand even India too......!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, can you send me the link where I can donate money, clothing, toiletries and supplies to the Aeta people?? How can I start new housing and retail development in their city and start pushing for slum clearance? I'm U.S. freed slaves ancestry (Freedmen) by the way. Let me know because I am into skilled trades. And also let me know how I can work on designs for a new Aboriginal township for them with blocks of businesses, health clinics, a bank, hotels and paved roads. How can I bring them new cars?? I have so many questions!!
