The Last Cavemen: The Filipino Tribe That Lives Inside a Volcano
World’s Toughest Places - Philippines: • Red Zones - World’s To...
In 1978, the world learned about the existence of a previously undiscovered tribe: the Taaw’t Bato, a few hundred individuals hidden in the heart of the jungle on the Philippine island of Palawan. During the rainy season, they hide in giant natural caves for months to protect themselves from typhoons. They survive by fishing and hunting bats.
But the Philippine government decided that these semi-nomadic people needed to be made sedentary. Gradually leaving the jungle and the caves behind, the Taaw’t Bato discovered urban life - and extreme poverty. Yet, over the past few years, dozens of sedentary Taaw’t Bato families have made a radical choice: unable to fit into this new environment, they have decided to leave the city, return to the land of their ancestors, and settle there forever.
We will follow the incredible journey of one such family, which has chosen to embark on this journey back to the jungle. The elders will revive ancestral customs; the youths will have to learn everything. This will be a huge challenge for all of them: to survive the rainy season, they must make it all the way to the caves, their last refuge.

I am Visayan. Sadly, the interpreter is lost in translation somehow. The woman in the public market speaks normal with Visayan accent. "Visayan accents sound harsh but they're actually happy and excited especially the guy giving the shirts. The woman on the other hand, is not mistreating them. The interpreter missed out on her last comment "kawawa naman sila " - They are pitiful. She maybe nonchalant, but not mean. She actually empathized with them and gave them extra meat. As for the guy, he just gave them shirts. He was happy to give and maybe be on TV as well. They are not mistreating them. The interpreter seems to misinterpret their accents & nuances making them sound bad when they're not...

@John-M. Месяц назад

@@careshare-I-Love-God I agree, every culture has their own unique way of communicating with each other. No doubt my Spanish-American upbringing has an influence on how I perceive your culture. But from what I gleaned that other man did not seem too amused. But once again you are correct.

@careshare-I-Love-God Месяц назад

To me, he was not mocking at all. He was just horsing around. It was apparent that he was conscious that he was being filmed along with the group so he tried to be as entertaining as he could get. He was not trying to be mean. He just asked a question that some of us might have wondered as well. Like " If that blowgun is pointed at one's self could it kill you?" You must also take into consideration that the interpreter was a bit way off in interpreting & understanding the nuances. He was sometimes reading something that was not there. Filipinos don't throw or take offense easily. "Politically correct - Woke culture" is still not rampant there. I have a question then. Why are people easily offended by this when roasting is almost normal abroad?

@shimizukiyoko7452 Месяц назад

I'm a Filipino and based from the footages, the people at the market were not making fun of them at all. The woman selling meat was showing them empathy and talking about them with no mean intent at all. The guy who gave them shirt also meant no harm, he just shown interest to the group and acted like "pabida" or he wanted to show off because there is a camera filming them. A lot of filipino uncles do this and actually, you can observe this act in other nationalities as well. I hope the person who did this documentary can maybe consider asking native people about what they think of the footages because there can be a gap in his understanding the language because just like what other people said in the comment section, the way people deliver the words can make people's interpretation biased and this is simply because he was not native to the culture and the dialect. Maybe the guy can edit this. This is a very clear misinformation. I hope he would notice this comment.

Quote: " They live in the mountains and they're very poor. Just look at them, Look at their clothes . They've got nothing. Thats why they look so destitute." --- Not one word, about WHO they are, their character, survival skills to live as they do - (because she knows nothing about them ) Only - an outward judgement of them by...appearances. By the amount of money they have or lack. There is Not much good about that , in my opinion .

@delisyus Месяц назад

@@MizzAugust7you can read judgment in that or you can read description accdg to the lens she used as someone who earns a living in the town, prolly got some education, eats 3 meals a day. Yes, she probably doesn’t know much about them but I am also assuming she knew more than these foreigners who were creating drama where none was intended.

@jamaicashamepactol Месяц назад

@@MizzAugust7 you take that context as a foreigner, however, that translation is incomplete and off-putting, not properly representing the intonation based on OUR OWN CULTURE. As a FELLOW FILIPINO who speak the SAME LANGUAGE, that woman was clearly empathizing with them. She even said, with which the documentarian DID NOT TRANSLATE, "They are pitiful/I pity them" in a sympathizing manner. Also, the woman's high voice and kind-of angry tone is normal for our culture! Especially for women along her age, most of them speak that way! Tough with mouth but soft in heart. I hate it when foreigners make drama out of other countries' normal way of living!

@@jamaicashamepactolas a Filipino, there are caste system in every society. Most commentators on here are worried about how Filipinos are portrayed. Why not start a fundraiser for them to raise food, a school, Dr visit, medications, etc. I would def not start them getting addicted to man made sugar which has its own health issues. Why weren't Malaria pills given to the filmmakers? Kudos to the filmmakers

@jamaicashamepactol Месяц назад

@@starfiresilky you know this is not US or a first world country. You may easily solve your problems over there through fundraising, we, however, mostly are poor and are just barely surviving here. This is a sad reality and truth. But that does not mean that we do not take care of each other. Just like the woman selling meat, who is obviously trying her best to acquire three meals a day by selling; even if she doesn't have much, gave extra meat for the tribe to share. I can say with certainty that this has something to do with psychology. To be more relatable, your western psychology (your way of thinking and behavior) is completely different from Filipino Psychology. You are viewing this documentary and the situations in it with your European standards. Formed your own opinions and solutions based also on European standards. But those European standards does not work in an Asian and poor country like the Philippines (Individualism vs Collectivism as well as West psychology vs Asian Psychology factors). The documentarian, whom I assume is also from the west, did the same. They came here in the Philippines and perceived the way of living of Filipinos through the lenses of a European. And in that European lense, other Filipinos in the video are antagonized. There are also misinformation in this vid. If the tables are turned and we Filipinos would go there in your country and film you, then antagonize you for the world to see, would you stay quiet?

Thank you for this video. I left the life style of the Batu when i was 7. I crew up most of my life in Florida US. I m 50 now and I just remember how sad I was when I came to US. 1983. I find myself always in the swamp forest of Florida connecting with the pass tribe of Timuca in Gemini park, and Calusa tribe. The two tribes are gone but i can still connected they're spirits of the pass with mine. I see their tools and foot prints. I was recently in the redwood forest and got connected with the Yoruk tribe. The Yoruk tribe are more closer to my DNA in spirit. They tell the same stories of the little people who take cares of the forest. I love being indigenous.❤

well. i dont see that as a true statement. the live in the forest and have learned a way to exploit the forest. but they are not the forest. it cuts them when they walk through it. it infects them with sickness when they get cut or bit by bugs. they can not draw their nutrition straight out of the ground. they have to exploit it and that creates a annomosity and if over exploited it creates a shortage in all things that depend on a symbiotic relationship. they could do better. so build life and encourage it; this will help them to live better and healthier. i left a comment above. they can use a veriaty of food trees planted in their territory. the ones that can grow wild there. and maybe some chicken donations that can grow wild there so they can harvest eggs. it looks like they need heartier fish in their pond. some mussels and maybe frogs might thrive their also. some goats for animal milk will be good nutrition for the kids.

I’m a new hiker, and Filipino too. Growing up as a city girl, I’ve now found my love for outdoors and nature. So I truly appreciate how strong and unique this tribe is. Doing what they did: living in the caves, climbing up and down without proper gear, let alone food to fuel their journey, the carriers that jst hooked over their heads, no hiking poles, no tents… not to mention they got kids to take care of! i cant help but to feel sad and amazed. They are the jungle, the forest, the nature. These are the people that we need to support and learn from. They carry the blood of our ancestors and yet our government nor our fellow Filipinos care about their culture. This documentary made me cry, thank u for making us all aware that they exist. Tau’t batu’s existence was never taught in school😢❤… “TAU’T BATU” means TAU= human/person/people, the ‘T is a shorcut for AT which means AND, BATU means Stone… So theyre called Humans and Stone, possibly. Although i think the Tau’t is spelled as Taaw’t… it’s the same pronunciation tho. We could’ve derived TAU from their TAAW

@florenzryansotelo8552 Месяц назад

I disagree that they were neglected, some of the members of the tribe just want to be left alone. See how a stranger gave them free clothes? It is just complicated how to help these tribes without them loosing their culture. Unlike the Aetas who can do agriculture and trade agricultural products (e.g. Casava and Bananas), this tribe can only trade their services. However, I think they can offer more than services. They can monetize their culture, their stories, tools, arts, games and plays, etc. Much like how some Pacific Islanders and some tribes in Sabah made money in sharing their culture to other people.

@user-qi6od7dg6n Месяц назад

I loved this short and beautiful video! I am deeply saddened that the native people around the world are not left alone with their forests and their skills, their families and their traditions where they can be their happiest. If the land, the animals and forests these special tribes peoples exist amongst were protected and made a national/ park reserve, it would be a gift worthy of world recognition and protection for future generations!! I would support the conservation and protection of such a worthy cause! Thank you for sharing your amazing forest journey and thank you to all the amazing people who allowed you to join them and visit their home in the mountains and experience their way of life! May they live in peace and much happiness. From New Zealand ❤🙏

I am 77 years old and this family reminds me of the simple life we lived in a village in England when I was a child. They were good times even though we were not as poor as this family is we were as happy as they are. As a boy my friends and I built tree houses and regularly camped out in the woods. To me there is nothing unusual in what this family does or in how they live. Everyone should have a home and some land, grow their own food and be satisfied that they are alive and safe surrounded by a loving family. When our crazy consumer driven world finally collapses, some people will easily transition back to the simple hunter gather life, while others will not.

But the camera man couldn't fill up each basket with goods such as rice fruits fish meat and candy and cigarettes for the grandfather. Thats why the grandfather had his back towards the camera man grandpa was pissed. Imagine if the camera man filled each basket with goods and as soon as they got to the cave to great their grandpa the family would of been telling grandpa that the foreigner bought us goods and it would of been sign of thank you for letting me stay here and film your family.

I appreciate those who created this documentary. Thank you for sharing it with the world. After watching a glimpse into the way of life of a Tau’t Batu family, I realized that their tribe should be honored, preserved, and protected; to be left alone by “civilized” people. As mentioned by the elder of this Tau’t Batu family, they are happy and contented with their way of life living in a cave. In the eyes of city folks, this Tau’t Batu family seems poor. But in actuality, they are not poor. It’s just their normal way of living.

Which I guess makes it wrong to include us in the family. But, I never felt hate towards them I just accepted how it was. I'm so in awe to see how our ancestors lived off the land and provided for themselves. Not relying on a crooked government for all their needs. I love this new light shed onto my people. Hopefully, people will come to understand that mother nature provides all we need. Much love and prosperous energy to all our forefathers and future generations. 🖤

I remember in my hometown (Philippines) outside our property there's a lot of people like this living, they're illiterate before. But our church give them the opportunity to go to school, and our family donate a land for them to build their school with the help of our church. I remember they always pass in our house in the town. So they know our family so much. So every time they visit in the town they just sit outside our house and my grandma always give them some clothes that's why they love to stay there outside. We give them food and sometimes money. They have so much respect of my family but others that them badly because they're poor. And everytime have feast they directly come to our house to eat. This are the people I like to help. Since I'm young I'm helping them already and I'm so happy if I saw them wearing our family clothes. When my father died they're there helping us anything they can and they don't ask money to pay it's just they're like of thanks to my family.
