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

I am not so sure? But i think they are part of the ethnic groups in the Philippines

Then after a week that american saw people in the city wearing chicago bulls Tshirt listening to walkman from the Tasaday tribe.
