Araceli 'Ara' d'Aboville is the wife of Hubert d'Aboville and mother to two other board members, Emman and Olivia. She bore the idea of the Surat Mangyan Teaching Program when it came to her knowledge that majority of the younger Mangyans did not know how to write their own pre-hispanic script. The Mangyan Heritage Center (MHC) is a library, archive, and research & education center located in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. The MHC promotes awareness of the indigenous peoples of the island of Mindoro. The Buhid and Hanunuo Mangyan syllabic scripts are two variations of a script called Surat Mangyan. These survived because these two different Mangyan groups - with two different languages and cultures - used these to engrave their poems on bamboos.

Capacity building
Surat Mangyan (Buhid & Hanunuo) are syllabaries listed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Registry in 1999 and declared as National Cultural Treasures in 1997. Our group would like to revive the indigenous script in the community of Buhid especially to the younger generations. The script is no longer being taught among the indigenous students of the community so with this initiative Katutubo Exchange School of Living Traditions, we can restore the use of the script and at the same time apply in their daily living especially to ambahan, an indigenous poetry.
