AT least 10 families belonging to the Aeta MaganTzi community from Sitio Burog in Bamban, Tarlac refuse to beg on the streets, opting to sell their agricultural produce in time for Christmas instead. The Aetas brought their farm produce from their mountainous community to sell in the capital city. We just want to sell our crops,” Tolentino said in Filipino. He pointed out that they would be selling their crops in the city only this yuletide season. But the families said they will stay until they would be able to sell all their produce before Christmas, hoping authorities could see wisdom in their plight.
