The World About Us: The Last Tribes of Mindanao

on BBC Two England

The exciting story of Tao Bong, 'The Good Man,' filmed in the jungles of the Philippine island of Mindanao.

Tao Bong is Manuel Elizade, a wealthy young Philippine businessman who got his nickname from the poor primitive peoples whom he has helped. What happens to primitive men and women when so-called civilisation encroaches upon their territory is well known: they are badgered, exploited, hunted like animals - at best enslaved and frequently exterminated. But not if Manuel Elizade can prevent it, even though it frequently means at the risk of his life.
