INTERVIEW WITH MANGYAN - IRAYA PEOPLE IN MINDORO | CULTURES , TRIBES , BELIEFS AND HANDICRAFTS

The Iraya Mangyan Village is one of my top reasons why I want to go to Puerto Galera. To be honest, I am more of a culture and heritage buff than a beach bum. I really want our trip a mix of everything so ticking this off our itinerary would be great. I know I will be doing a travel guide to Puerto Galera when I go home that's why I want the one I am going to do would be something that will be interesting to readers from all walks of life.
What to see in Mangyan Village Puerto Galera
We had to keep on asking a few locals because there's no major signboard from the major road if we are already near the Mangyan Village. Even right at the narrow road leading to the village there's none and even at the grand entrance, we could not fine anything that says we have arrived to our desired destination.
We were expecting that the Mangyan Village is not 100% open since we went there on the 28th of December. It is holiday season and yes we were right. The house where the locals weave their baskets and other local crafts is empty. We were also told that the very first house that is closed is where they sell souvenirs.
In front of that closed house is another house that has sari sari store. K really wants to drink his second cup of coffee so we dropped by here first. The one hot cup of water costs Php 10! He does not drink 3-n-1- coffee that's why he always have a few sachets of black coffee and his Splenda sugar.
The handicrafts of Mangyan Village
We also passed by a long open stall of all sorts of local products made by the Mangyan people. We did not asked how much are those and quickly continued walking since we are not in the mood to buy one. Also, if they have price tags I think I could have stayed longer. I think I may have bought one specially that cute buri circular bag if I knew the price is affordable according to my budget standards.
Most of these products are made of nito (nito vine). They sell native plates, bottle holders, baskets, place mats, trinkets and more. I learned that a bulk of these orders are sent to Manila and sold in Ayala Malls, a chain of malls that the billionaire philanthropist also own.
