SURAT MANGYAN EDUCATION PROGRAM

(Previous program)

​

“Surat Mangyan” is one of the few remaining Filipino indigenous pre-hispanic “baybayin” or syllabic scripts. This program was designed for the preservation and teaching of “Surat Mangyan”, among its young generation who are fast becoming ignorant of a valuable cultural heritage. The Department of Education does not teach indigenous culture to schools attended by IPs. Therefore, the D’Aboville Foundation recognized the need to operate this program. During 10 years there were 400 to 700  Mangyan  students each year beneficiaries who were enrolled in three public elementary schools and one high school in Mansalay, Mindoro.
