Who they are
The Batak of Palawan are one of the oldest indigenous peoples in the Philippines, living in the forests and valleys of northern Palawan Island. Traditionally hunters and gatherers, they have a deep connection with nature and maintain spiritual practices associated with forest spirits. Faced with profound environmental and cultural changes, they strive to preserve their traditional territory and rich communal identity.
