Kung napunta ka na sa Callao Cave, marahil nakita mo na si 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢.
Ngayong ginugunita natin ang 𝘉𝘜𝘞𝘈𝘕 𝘕𝘎 𝘒𝘈𝘉𝘈𝘉𝘈𝘐𝘏𝘈𝘕, kilalanin natin si Bella ang Tour Guide nating Agta.
Bella began working as a tour guide in 2009. As a novice to the job, she was nervous and not very involved. During her training, she was hesitant to participate in the 5-day training program conducted by the Provincial Tourism Office of Cagayan. However, with the motivation and support of her mother, she eventually completed the training. Now, after 15 years of experience as a tour guide, Bella has grown and developed into a woman from the Indigenous Community, who is deserving of respect and admiration.
“Minsan nakakaramdam ako ng diskriminasyon, kasi parang ang tingin nila sa akin ay wala akong alam at minsan pa nagmamarunong sila sa akin” this is her response when she was asked if she still experiences discrimination in her job., “Pero mas madaming mababait at generous na turista” she added.
's story is just one example of the many women in the indigenous community who continue to thrive and provide for themselves and their families despite facing challenges. It is essential to keep moving forward after overcoming life's hurdles and not let societal expectations hold us back.
