Manoro

The film follows the Aetas, an indigenous group in the Philippines, who are forced to relocate due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. As they move to lowland areas, Aeta children gain access to government-funded schools, opening doors to education that were previously closed.

Jonalyn, an elementary school graduate, takes on the challenge of teaching her elders to read and write. This initiative represents a significant cultural shift, as the Aetas participate in the National Elections for the first time. The film captures the intersection of tradition and modernity, showcasing the resilience of the Aeta people in the face of adversity.
