    The document discusses the Sanip tribe, also known as the Badjao people. It describes how the Badjao live on the ocean waters and fish for their livelihood. However, in cities they feel out of place. The document cautions against ethnocentrism and cultural imperialism - judging or imposing one's own cultural values on another culture. It prompts the reader to consider whether the Badjao are less of a people because of their way of living through fishing instead of office work, or because they build houses in the sea where they can support themselves.

    Activity no. 1: Sanip Tribe

    How do you find the Sanip tribe?

    What do you think of their way of living?

    Can you personally relate with their rituals?


    Sanip = Badjao
    *Sanip is just a made up term which when reversed, is Pinas.
    Way of Living Way of Living
    Fishing Diving
    Badjao are also known as “Sea Gypsies” because they
    form their settlements/ houses on top of the ocean
    waters.
    Not realizing that they are like fish out of water.
    In the city, they are out of their element.
    In Metro Manila, this is how
    we see the
    Badjao Tribe
    We tend to look at them
    as beggars,
    only asking for some
    coins.
    ETHNOCENTRISM
    is the judgment towards another culture based
    on how it compares to one’s cultural norms.
    CULTURAL IMPERIALISM
    is the deliberate imposition of one’s own
    cultural values on another culture.
    Activity no. 1: Sanip Tribe
    Does it make the Badjao tribe less of a
    people because they do fishing instead of
    working in the office?

    What is so low about having to build their


    houses in the seas where they can find their
    immediate source of living?
