Mr. Henry Manuncia, Executive Director and with Ms. Lisa Manuncia, a licensed psychotherapist with Mandaya and Mansaka of ECare Compassion Ministries with a non-political and nonreligious non-profit organization SEC Registered as of March 18,2013. During our food distribution, we discovered that the survivors driven out by Pablo from their dwelling place in Taytayan now live in tents at the plateau. The 107 families living at the plateau are predominantly from the Mandaya tribe. Our priority need right now is Food Security. The need in this community in Compostela Valley is for them to have seeds of corn to plant to their food and portion of it to sell. We need 8,000Php per hectare to plant corn. The team have raised for support 17 hectares already and still raising for 13 hectares.

Plan has been working in the Philippines since 1961, helping poor children to realise their rights to health care, education, protection and a high quality of life.

Video about Compostela Valley

As the influx of relief goods are overflowing for the Mandaya and Mansaka tribe, the highlight of the day was the liberating discovery of a community that had been bowed by the brutality of Typhoon Pablo and overwhelmed by the acts of kindness by NGOs and charitable organizations. The sad fact was that the calamity had brought them to the verge of unwanted mendicancy. The community life had started to revolve around the intermittent visits of well-meaning organizations that bring food and used clothing. Three weeks ago when I last visited them, there was a growing heaviness in the community that weighed down considerably on each member. This afternoon, after the usual polite exchanges, I brought them around to face the question of what they saw as happening to them in the next 90 days, and how about the next 180 days? They were very quiet. Until the civic leader reminisced that they were very good farmers, tilling the hard slopes and harvesting richly from the land. The spiritual leader recalled how households would be fattening a pig and selling it for a tidy profit after a while for some household projects. Suddenly they realized that they were once a vibrant village and they had

so many things going. They had to be brought back to the question. What do they see happening to them in the next 90 days? It was a priceless moment for me to see the community leaders stir up and then like divers who have reached the deep end, rise slowly and surely to the surface to gasp for air - and breathe life again. They have come to see beyond the confines of charity and reach out with their hands to a future they can handle. We meet again on Monday morning. They now have specific tasks to do and I know they will do them well. Liberating discovery. – Lisa Manuncia

Limited access to funds is often cited by farmers are a major reason why they were not mobilized to farm their land. Our goal is to empower farmers and hope that by providing them with high quality seeds we can then empower them to plant more.

Goals &

Objective

Our goal is to make the Mandaya and Mansaka tribe and their community to be a self-sufficient community. Although, they were backyard farmers, with this opportunity that they would be open to new technologies and ways of farming.

In order to assist the structuring of this vision, a creation and collaboration of existing farmers cooperative and association into the introduction of the “Farmers Formal Mentorship Program” to strengthen the farmer based organization at village level headed by our Head Coordinator, Mr. Henry Manuncia assisted by his wife, Ms. Lisa Manuncia, a licensed psychotherapist and Ms. Rimalyn Siriban in providing values transformation training for them.

With the help of other NGO we hope to bring new innovation on farming to our Indigenous people in the near future.
