GMA NEWS TV's Howie Severino visited the B'laan tribe of Mindanao. An elderly woman told him that their culture was vanishing as the younger people refuse, or are ashamed, to learn from her. Their dances and colorful native wear are now just for visitors' consumption. On the other hand, a man from Tondo is raising his family there, in order to teach the B'laans in school. Howie compared the two individuals- one holding the key to their past; the other, to their future.
How to make the twain meet?
