Greetings to all Indigenous Peoples in the country!

GREETINGS!

Proclamation No. 1906, signed on October 5, 2009, declared the month of October every year as “National Indigenous Peoples Month”. This is in consonance with the Constitutional mandate to recognize and protect the rights of indigenous peoples (IPs). This mandate was in turn carried into effect by Republic Act No. 8371, dated October 29, 1997, known as the “Indigenous Peoples Rights Act” (IPRA).

Even before the proclamation, the Churches, Civil Society Organizations and the Indigenous Peoples in the country have been celebrating the Indigenous Peoples Day, Indigenous Peoples Week and Indigenous Peoples Month. The celebration served as an occasion for reflection, evaluation and ventilation of issues, concerns and aspirations of the indigenous peoples.
In celebrating the 2016 National Indigenous Peoples Month, let us be united in promoting and advancing the cause of the indigenous peoples.

Matatago tako losan!
