Boracay’s indigenous Ati people have been pushed to the margins and are fighting to retain agricultural land developers say is better used for tourism
Despite obstacles including the cancellation of land titles, the Ati say are undeterred as they seek to preserve their community and way of life.

For years, international travel magazines have dubbed the Philippines’ Boracay as one of the world’s best island getaways, its powdery white beaches regularly attracting hordes of travellers.
Tourism has for decades provided jobs and livelihoods for thousands of Filipinos living on the island. Largely left out of this prosperity, however, are Boracay’s indigenous Ati people, who have been engaged in a protracted legal battle over land that had already been granted to them by the government.

The Ati are the original inhabitants of Boracay, but have been pushed to the margins as the island gained fame. Many have been rendered homeless, with some forced to survive on welfare and begging on the beaches.

In November 2018, then president Rodrigo Duterte gave the Ati hope when, as part of a land reform programme, they were granted land titles to 3.2 hectares (7.9 acres) – about 1 per cent of the island’s roughly 1,000 hectares. The four titles, called Certificates of Land Ownership Awards (CLOAs), were given to the collective ownership of the Boracay Ati Tribal Organisation.

Ati Village is situated on beachfront land that the tribe was granted in 2011 by a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) provided by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).
Ati and Tumandok are the island's initial settlers, and were relocated to a 2.1-hectare walled settlement in the early 2000s when the island was transformed into a popular tourist destination.

Boracay Ati Community Development Complex consists of 30 homes, a ceremonial field, a heritage building, a tribal hall and training center, school, clinic, and chapel.

Intercultural interaction in the Ati village often has a number of advantages and rewards in terms of job prospects and enhances indigenous people's sense of identity in their culture and heritage.
Members of the indigenous community demonstrate their heritage, history, arts, and crafts in their own way and guests traveling to this village will be able to witness this.
