1. WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS AND ISSUES CONFRONTING THE

ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE COUNTRY?

ANSWER:

THE MAIN PROBLEM O ISSUES IN THE COUNTRY ABOUT THE

LUMADS COMMUNITY IS POVERTY, LACK OF EDUCATION,
DISRIMINATION, HOMELESSNESS AND MALNUTRITION. BASED ON THE
DOCUMENTARY I WATCHED, THEIR SITUATION IS VERY DIFFICULT
BECAUSE THE LUMADS COMMUNITIES ARE IN REMOTE PLACES OR
MOUNTAINS, THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE A BIRTHCERTIFICATE. I AGREE
WITH JOURNALIST MALOU MANGAHASA IN HIS "INVESTIGATIVE
DOCUMENTARIES' EXPOSES THEIR FINDING ON CORRUPTION IN THE
GOVERNMENT AND PROVIDES IN DEPTH ANALYSIS ON CURRENT
NATIONAL ISSUES.

2. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

ANSWER:

THE SOLUTION ON HOW TO RESOLVE THEIR PROBLEM WITH THE

LUMADS GROUPS AND THEY SHOULD BE THE GOAL OF THE
GOVERNMENT TO HELP AND EDUCATE THEM SO THAT THEY ARE NOT
TAKEN BY ANYONE AND EVEN IF THEY LIVE IN THE FAR MOUNTAINS,
THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION TO REGISTER THEIR BIRTHCERTIFICATE.
