Philippines National Indigenous Peoples Month

 Revised Reflection: The Tapestry of Resilience Theme: Weaving Culture, Enriching Future The observance of National Indigenous Peoples Month is a profound tribute to the 110+ ethnolinguistic groups that form the soul of the Philippines. This year’s theme, “Weaving Culture, Enriching Future,” serves as a bridge between ancestral wisdom and modern progress. It asserts that indigenous empowerment is not a sidebar to national development—it is the very foundation.

Whether it is the sustainable forest management of the Ifugao or the maritime wisdom of the Sama-Bajau, these practices demonstrate that true "sustainable development" is already written in our indigenous roots. By upholding the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA), we ensure that the "weaving" of our future includes every thread of our diverse heritage, protecting ancestral domains ...
