PHILIPPINES: Indigenous tribes threatened

Bienvenido Macario adds this footnote to his story about Norwegian alleged neocolonialism:". Tribes like the Mangyan of Mindoro unselfishly shared their knowledge of the jungles with US Special Forces and other US Armed Forces which they used to improve chances of survival in jungle warfare. Norway, if the story is verified, is quitely working as a new colonial power. But with the ignorance the great majority of the people in the Philippines and the rest of the world, I am sure, it will be Americans who will be blamed. "They are both white anyway" is what they will say."
