November 29, 2006 my students and I went on a field trip to an Ayta village. The village is in the mountains of Bataan, one of the northern provinces of Manila, on the island of Luzon. We spent the day visiting families, schools, hiking, practicing Tagalog, and playing with the children. The Ayta are people slightly different than other Philipinos. They are shorter (which Philipinos are 
short already), have darker skin, and curly hair. Tagalog is actually their second language. They live very simple lives, with no running water or electricity. They have to hike (slide) down a steep mountain side to get water, then climb back up with the jugs of water. The only bible they have in their language is the beginning of the New Testament through most of Luke. There are a few christians that live in the village we visited. But for the most part many of them don't know about Christ as Savior.
