The Ayta Magbukon in particular were found to possess the highest level of Denisovan ancestry in the world (between 3-9%), which is about ~30%–40% higher than the amount observed among Australo-Papuans , suggesting that distinct Islander Denisovan populations existed in

The Philippine Negritos display relatively closer genetic affinity towards different Eastern Asian populations , prehistoric Hoabinhian samples, as well as to the Indigenous people of New Guinea and Aboriginal Australians , from which they diverged around c. 40,000 years ago.

Aetas are found in Zambales , Tarlac , Pampanga , Panay , Bataan, and Nueva Ecija , but were forced to move to resettlement areas in Pampanga and Tarlac following the devastating Mount Pinatubo eruption in June 1991. Some Aeta communities have received government land titles recognizing their claims to their ancestral lands. A total of 454 Aeta families in Floridablanca, Pampanga, received their Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) on May 27, 2009. The title covers about 7,440 hectares in San Marcelino and Brgy.

Aetas of Tarlac, for example, have failed to get titles for 18,000 hectares of land in Capas despite applications for CADT filed in 1999, 2014, and 2019. The Aeta are nomadic and build only temporary shelters made of sticks driven to
