In "The Philippines: Rising from the Ashes", when the volcanic Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, its lava and ashes destroyed many surrounding villages - including the traditional homeland of the Ayta, indigenous people descending from the first inhabitants of the Philippines. Today, resettled elsewhere on Luzon island, they are trying to preserve their traditional culture and community integrity through education and theater. These efforts are supported by the Ayta organization PBAZ, part of the Education for Life Foundation. Going back to the abandoned village is one way of keeping memories alive. Can ordinary people help save our planet which is under siege from many environmental crises? How can we change attitudes and lifestyles to consume fewer resources? In this Asian TV series "Saving the Planet", we profile six successful initiatives that combine knowledge, skills and creativity to achieve a cleaner and healthier environment through local action. The stories were identified from a regional competition, and produced by TVE Asia Pacific with local partners in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, The Philippines, and Thailand.
