Katulad ng mga<\/i> Aeta <i>sila rin ay may pusong gusto mag <\/i>SHARE <i>ng kanilang ani <\/i>(Giving gifts this Christmas is not something that only wealthy people can do. Like the Aetas, they also have the heart to share their harvest)<i>.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In one of the videos uploaded by Campaniera, an Aeta expressed his gratitude to the residents for welcoming them even though they are indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Jober Ocampo, also an Aeta, told ABS-CBN News people usually think of them as &#8220;beggars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>&#8220;Ngayon naisipan namin na hindi pala maganda &#8216;yon, mabuting magbigay ka ng pananim mo para makapagbahagi ka naman ng pinagpaguran [mo] <\/i>(Now we realized that it is not good, it is better to give your harvest so that you can share the product of your hard work)<i>,&#8221;<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Philippine Air Force and Philippine National Police helped the Aetas to give their Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many netizens lauded the Aetas for their selflessness and generosity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paskong handog ng mga Aeta galing capas Tarlac..
