‘Dulhog' barter at Museum

“Dulhog” or the traditional barter system of Ati villages in Isabela and Cadiz, Negros Occidental, will be held at the Negros Museum in Bacolod City, tomorrow, a press release from organizers said.

Handicrafts and products made by guests from the Ati villages can be bought during the activity, that will include a short talk and presentation on the indigenous peoples, the press release said.

The Atis, who are hunter-gatherers and referred to as ‘Negritos', represent the most ancient civilization of the Philippines.
