It tackles the rights to expression of the indigenous people of Sierra Madre to achieve oneness despite the hegemonic influences of the outside world and to bring back the tradition and mores they have begun, cultivated and imparted that serve as their unique and aboriginal standpoints to our diversified society.
It is also an avenue of their assertion as ordinary persons as artists using ancient art forms as well as popular entertainment to enjoy equality among heterogeneous as they mix with the mainstream living of Filipinos.
“Dumagat” is also the Dumagats’ social and political statement of their supreme right to fight for survival using theater as a symbol of a free press to preserve their ancestral domains being threatened by unscrupulous practices of the ruling elite in the countryside.
