Angat is...
Angat （アンガット）とは、フィリピンに派遣されていた元青年海外協力隊員（JOCV）のフィリピン隊員が、2013年11月のフィリピン巨大台風の被災地支援のために結成した団体です。
2014年3月に『バスーラ』というフィリピンのゴミ捨て場にすむ人々が主人公の作品の上映会を開催したことからはじまり、現在は在日フィリピンの人々や、その他フィリピン文化に興味のある人たちがあつまり、映画を通して、日本とフィリピン両国の文化交流を図ろうと活動しています。
At first, Angat is established in 2013 with ex-JOCV(Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers)in the Philippines, which is engaging in helping needy people in the Philippines and also for victims of gigantic typhoon Yolanda. With the help of the Japanese certified NPO ‘ICAN’, we are raising hearty donations for useful aiding activities in the Philippines. Now we have also some member of non-ex- JOCV and Filipino in Japan.
We held a screening of the film ‘Basula’ which is directed by a Japanese director, dipicting the harshy life of people living in Smoking Mountain(garbage dump). We donated all admission fee to aid activities organized by certified NPO ‘ICAN’, giving stationery costs to the children Who is living in some disaster areas.Our target is making cultural exchange between Filipino in Japan and every Japanese through the movie.
