Behind the scenes of Kara David's "I-Witness" docu on Banwaon tribe of Agusan del Sur

In August 2013, Kara David and her I-Witness documentary team travelled to Agusan del Sur to shoot a documentary entitled "Ang mga Datu ng Mahagsay" about the Banwaon tribe.
In Agusan del Sur, the quaint village of Mahagsay has stood the test of time. This barangay is home to the Banwaon tribe, an indigenous group that has remained faithful to its traditions amid threats of the modern times. It is where datus (chieftains) still remain central to everyday life, where a Filipino minority still heeds the spirits of the natural world.
Through rough and difficult terrain, Kara David visits the Banwaon tribe and meets the datus of Mahagsay. These datus are not mere symbolic gatekeepers of their culture; they actually perform rituals. And the rituals that Kara David witnesses have a significant role not only to their present state, but also to the future of their tribe.
