We learned that native Negrito people used to live in these caves, practicing their tribal shamanic culture in here. The last
of them were driven out a couple of decades ago and resettled in remote village areas, with transformation to a more
modern culture. Unfortunately, not much is known today about the customs they practiced while living here in these caves.
