Parents in New Canaan, one of the most remote and unvisited barangays in Alabel, Sarangani dream that their children graduate from college or at least finish Grade 6. But Analie Eday, a lumad like them, knows that as an education worker, her first order of the day is for the children to learn how to read because that is the parents’ more frequently mentioned and telling aspiration everytime she talks to them.
So what motivates Analie: “I am offended at seeing my fellow lumads exploited simply because they do not know how to read and write. That is motivation enough for me,” she said.
