Is it true that they are faking that they live in a stone age lifestyle? I heard that the Tasadays were forced by Marcos and his friend to act stone age. I forgot the reason why

It was a hoax.
There's a book about it, "The Gentle Tasaday: The Stone Age People in the Philippine Rain Forests" by John Nance...

Yea my anthropology professor told us about this too, lolz that was embarassing. He said that an american went to Philippines to observed these people hold their weddings and other staff. Then after a week that american saw people in the city wearing chicago bulls Tshirt listening to walkman from the Tasaday tribe.
