There is no road to Palanan. The town is separated from the rest of the #Philippines by a 3-day trek through tropical jungle, a 7-hour ride on a wooden pump boat or a 25-minute flight on a 3-seater Cessna. (Swipe left to see a wide view of the area.) Cloistered in the foothills of the Sierra Madre, Palanan’s farmers cross fields on the backs of loping water buffaloes. Carved canoes slide down broad rivers, and narrow outrigger boats bob along the shore. But life in Palanan may soon change. The government is building a road that will cut a path through the Sierra Madre, with plans to continue it into Palanan and other nearby villages. The road comes with many hopes. If stocks of rice run low, for instance, it will be easier to replenish them. But others fear that even as the road brings economic benefits, it will put pressure on traditional ways of life. Palanan’s population of about 17,000 is made up of the Agta, an ethnic group descended from the Philippines’ earliest inhabitants. Many Agta continue to live in huts made of branches and dried leaves as semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, diving for octopus and lobster, trapping wild boar, hunting deer and spearing reef fish — as the photographer Kemal Jufri captured here.
