Indigenous Peoples Mont And 27th Year Indigenous Peoples Right Act (IPRA)
Every year in October, Philippines was celebrated the Indigenous People or IP which is the theme of "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana". The year from October 1-30 the theme"Mga Katutubo at Katutubon Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana" reminds that we need to protect the rights and culture of the Indigineous People. Furthermore, In Republic Law 8371, known as the Indigineous Peoples Right Act(IPRA), was enacted in 1997. I has been praised for its support for the cultural integrity of Indigenous Peoples, the right to their lands and the right to self-directed development of these lands.
By these events and programs, we are helping to foster greater awareness and appreciation of the Indigenous Peoples' (IP) contributions to the cultural, social, and environmental fabric of the Philippines. The observance of Indigenous Peoples Month serves as an important reminder not only to protect their rights but also to acknowledge the vital role they play in preserving biodiversity, traditional knowledge, and sustainable practices that are crucial to the country's future.
To sum up, Indigenous Peoples Month urges all Filipinos to acknowledge the significance of Indigenous communities and to pledge to safeguard and enhance their rights, cultures, and knowledge. Through coming together as a group, we can create a fairer and more peaceful community that honors the cultural history of Indigenous Peoples and acknowledges their valuable contributions.
