One of the things that Yassin's company, Nas Academy, offered back then was an online course where Whang-Od can be seen teaching what she knew about tattooing or ‘pambabatok’ as it is called in Kalinga.
Some legal experts also said that what Nas did was ill3gal because he allegedly took advantage of indigenous people like Whang-Od.

“Exploiting Indigenous Filipino culture and art for money. He clearly v1olated the IPRA Law (Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997) Republic Act No. 8371, which is a Philippine law that recognizes and promotes the rights of indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples in the Philippines.” according to the petition.

The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP)-Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) is currently inv3stigating the signing of the contract between Yassin and Whang-Od.
