Program Process

The HIPAC program’s action plan seeks to run a three-day bazaar at Angeles Malls that may also help to promote and spread awareness of Aetas culture. This bazaar's objective is to encourage trade and operate as a location for multi-social and cultural exchange. This program will compensate for their transportation from their homes to the stalls with tables and chairs where they can sell their fruits, vegetables, and crafts at the Angeles City Wet Market. To ensure that this program continues and endures, the funds and sales revenue will be effectively handled.

Step 1

The Aeta are a tiny, dark-skinned, kinky-haired race who used to live in the forested areas of Mount Pinatubo. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, they were told to leave their homes or the forest, forever altering their social and cultural context. In the early 1500s, early Spanish settlers referred to them as Pygmy Aeta or Negritos (small Africans). They are the world's oldest living race, according to ethnologists.

Step 2

To encourage for involving the culture, clothing will adhere, and they wear plain and simple attire, so the HIPAC staff will be dressed similarly. The bazaar will demonstrate how the Aeta are nomadic and only build temporary shelters out of sticks driven into the ground and covered with palm or banana leaves. Where the design is based, the more modernized Aetas have relocated to villages and cleared mountain areas. Because they live in bamboo and cogon grass houses, the area will be designed specifically for them.
