  • -  English translation: 1. The Mangyans have no time to learn writing. 2. Why? 3. Because they have no teacher like the Christians and because to learn to write is valued like any other learning. 4. By emulation men learn a trade (carpentry, blacksmithing, etc.), and the woman learns to sew, spin, weave, and make mats.
