While you have been enjoying your #LaBoracay, we bet you didnt know that the Atis, the original inhabitants of the island, have been in danger and have lost their home to establishments and hotels. From a squashed compound of dusty vegetable plots and thatched huts separated from the main road by a flimsy bamboo fence, this indigenous tribe of 200 families is fighting for its right to live and work on the island. Largely uneducated and desperately poor, the Atis say they have been pushed off the land they have lived on for centuries by the hundreds of hotel chains, bars and businesses cashing in on Boracays multimillion-dollar opportunities.
