The Sea-fairing people of Mindanao - "BADJAO":


Hello! Each and everyone, Good Afternoon!
Today,I would like to share about the "Badjao".
They are commonly found in the shares of Zamboanga.
The Badjao are the indegenous people in the Philippines who lived in " Baybaying - dagat ".
But,Now they were to be found in some other areas in Visayas and Mindanao.
Even in Manila the Badjao's are now can be found in some areas here,especially, on the streets ,
they were singing and distributing and asking for small donations.
I, sometimes asked myself; why is it the Philippine Government can't have an eye on them?
They were all should be given much attention and importance,
they should be given house to lived in and clothes and simple jobs.
Why is it they can not think of possible ways like putting those children , "Badjao";in School to make them productive later on.
"Badjao" famously known as the sea gypsies.
If there is a " floating casino " in Macau, Castle's in the Air " in fairy tales,
but then,for badjao's there is floating school in Zamboanga.
This is the first of it's kind not only in the Philippines ,
but, in the entire world.
This all I can share with you all!!!
Have a pleasant Day to everybody!
I am Ria Lopez sharing all of these with you....Thank you!
