In the province of Mindoro, municipality of Mansalay celebrated the Mangyan Festival. About 35-40% of Mansalay's population is composed of the native Mangyans. Mindoro is their home.

The program was held at Mansalay gymnasium every 1:00 at the afternoon to maybe ends at 7 evening of November 25.
Every year I watched the street dancing competition and every year different petards are showned by the dancers through the creative imagination of their choreo's. Rain or shine the show must continue, I could not see tired to the faces of every dancers even how tough are they doing all I have saw from them are eagerness to gave happiness not just for the people who watched them, not just for the prized they could received from the competition but their eagerness to denote that their dance is for the beloved Mangyans of Mansalay.
This is Ginaw Bilog of hanunuo mangyan recognized as the National Living Treasure of the Philippine Government therefore Mangyans are really artistic and creative.
These are the Hanunuos. They live happily with their simple life. They are contented for what they have. I have a Hanunuo classmates I observed that they are very friendly to us but others of them are shy but they are all good, very thoughtful and super kind. They are renting boarding house that's why once a week they come home even they have a good life in lowland they still chosed to go back home maybe because with their families they could felt the real home and happiness.
