hunter-gathering Aeta
-
Aetas living near Pinatubo worship a god named Apo Mallari who lives at the peak. According to them, he caused the 1991 eruption because of displeasure toward illegal loggers and Philippine National Oil Company executives who have drilled for geothermal heat into the mountain. Some of the Aetas stayed on the mountainside hiding in caves; only three people survived.
-
Many of the Aeta who lived on the slopes of the volcano left their villages of their own volition when the first explosions began in April, gathering in a village about 12 km from the summit. They moved to increasingly distant villages as the eruptions escalated, with some Aeta moving up to nine times in the two months preceding the cataclysmic eruption.
