BLACK RAINBOW

By Zig Dulay (2022)

SYNOPSIS

An important decision has been made for the future of ITAN, 12, an Aeta. He was told to quit school to help his father in planting mountain crops as they saved up for the delivery of his pregnant mother. Then the young boy found a flicker of hope when he learned about a scholarship opportunity that he could possibly receive on two crucial conditions. First, he had to learn how to operate a computer, and second, he had to convince his father to allow him return to school—only then he would be able to realize his long-time goal to read through all the documents the Ayta community had been receiving. Only then he could understand why they were being forced to give up ancestral lands up in the mountain to give way for mining.
