recommended:

1. There are Mangyans who are experiencing difficulty in communicating with their fellow

Mangyans who have other dialect. In that case, the National Commission of Indigenous

people (NCIP) should provide materials that can educate Mangyans with the language of

different tribes.

2. There are Mangyans who have bad experience in product dealing transactions with

the lowlander’s people. Thus, the Municipalities in District II of Oriental Mindoro where

the Mangyans are settling should reinforce the organizations that are securing the rights

of Mangyans, especially in terms of product dealing transactions.

3. There are young Mangyans who can’t speak their mother-tongue language for some

personal reasons. For that matter, the National Commission of Indigenous people

(NCIP) must encourage the Mangyans to maintain their language and teach their

children to learn their own mother-tongue language even at young age.

4. The Municipalities in District II of Oriental Mindoro should provide some materials that

could educate even simple Mangyan words those tourist and business traders in

different Mangyan language that can help them in communicating with the Mangyans for

their different purposes.

focus on identifying more barriers in social interactions of Mangyans and other people

who are settling in same Municipalities in District II of Oriental Mindoro. In addition,
