The Aetas Of Subic Bay a Journey To Empowerment
The Aetas were considered to be one of the first native settlers in the Philippines.
A largely nomadic people who once lived in the lowlands, the Aetas through the years gradually retreated to the hills and mountains when subsequent immigrants pushed them farther back into the forests.
They lived in scattered, isolated mountainous areas of the country, built temporary shelters and hunted animals and harvested forest produce for their food.

From the sea, the Subic Bay Freeport looks more like a huge commercial and industrial complex with hotels and resorts, rather than a naval base that is nestled at the foot of the BataanÂZambales mountain range.
