He is Our Maker

Busy weeks.

We were trying to portray our localities' best last February on our Church anniversary in Manila. Because we are from the province of Zambales, we are asked to show what we've got in here aside from the Mangoes and Turnips, we won't forget the Aeta Settlers here too. We're going to show it in a Christian Way.

So, im gonna start from here: Aeta are some of the ethnic groups found in the Philippines.In World War II the Aetas fought bravely Japanese rule and even received commendations from Gen. Douglas Mc Arthur for helping some U.S military to teach the based perimeter for scavenging.

Me as Aeta

The Traditional Aeta economy is composed of Hunting and food gathering. Skilled with the use of bows and arrows, it is still the the primary weapon today of the Aeta. They are very good hunter’s day or night and are very effective with the bow and arrow.

We are Aetas

They make harps and guitars from bamboo joints, flutes from mountain cane, and the coconut resonator. The most common type of the bamboo flute is the nose flute. Dances of the Aeta come in two forms: festive and ceremonial, festive dancing is usually held when meeting friends, after a good hunt, and other festivities.

We wear our Music Team shirts that says, "EVERPRAISER...God's music brings harmony to my SOUL."

We are trying to tell that Aetas, who use to worship idols, are worshiping the Lord of lords and King of kings in our time. we have seen so many Aetas declaring their faith in the Lord Jesus and some of them became Pastors too. God, in His grace, opened their eyes to His truth.

While walking, people smiled at us. Our hair are kinky and our skin are dark. And we are small. But one thing is for sure...God is the Maker of us all.
