Title: Go says MinDa fund to lift Indigenous communities in Mindanao

Author: Macon Ramos- Araneta

Date Published: January 14, 2024

Key Information: The STIP-Mindanao Program, backed by a P10 million fund from the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), seeks to provide Indigenous Peoples with resources and support to overcome socio-economic challenges. This program is designed to help improve access to education, healthcare, and livelihoods while preserving the cultural heritage of IP communities​.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Senator Christopher Go said the successful augmentation of the national budget for the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) will empower the indigenous communities in Mindanao.

Go said the MinDA fund will allow indigenous communities to preserve rich cultural heritage and enhance their living standards.

The fund, worth P10 million, is also expected to strengthen the Indigenous People in Mindanao (STIP-Mindanao) Program which Go is supporting as vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance.

Go, an ex-officio member of the MinDA Board of Directors noted that this funding boost is a "move forward."

"This allocation is not merely a financial boost; it is a testament to our commitment to empower the indigenous communities of Mindanao," he said.

"The indigenous peoples are the bearers of our rich cultural heritage, and we must ensure their growth, development, and integration into the fabric of our national progress," he added.

The STIP-Mindanao Program, with this newly allocated budget, aims to provide these communities with the necessary resources and support.

The STIP-Mindanao Program is an initiative of MinDa that aims to provide essential resources and support to the indigenous peoples of Mindanao.

The program seeks to address various socio-economic challenges faced by these communities by ensuring access to education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihood opportunities. Furthermore, the program is designed to be culturally sensitive, respecting and preserving the unique traditions and practices of each community.

"Our goal is not just to assist, but to empower. We strive to create opportunities for the indigenous peoples to flourish and contribute meaningfully to our society. This program is a step forward in fostering social inclusivity and ensuring that no one is left behind in our journey toward development," Go said.

Go likewise emphasized his dedication to advocating for and safeguarding the rights of indigenous peoples. He pointed out that in 2021, under former president Rodrigo Duterte's leadership, Executive Order No. 139 was issued, providing death and burial benefits to Barangay Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representatives.

According to Go, this move marked a significant step in acknowledging their vital role in community governance and involvement in decision-making processes.

Additionally, Go cited the time when Duterte served as vice mayor of Davao City in 2012. During this period, the local government enacted the Anti-Discrimination Code.

This code was designed to protect the rights of all citizens, including those of indigenous peoples, ensuring they are treated with the utmost dignity and respect.

Title: Philippines: Mindanao Displacement Snapshot as of 13 August 2024

Author: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

Date Published: August 13, 2024

Key Information: Displacement incidents in the Bangsamoro Region typically stem from longstanding issues related to land disputes, which are often intertwined with political rivalries and clan feuds. The cyclical displacements are further exacerbated by military operations against Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs), annual flooding, and weather disturbances. As a result, the displacement situations are complex and often prolonged, which in turn can impact the work opportunities of indigenous peoples (IPs).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

Author: E. Macusi, A. Sales, E. Macusi, H. Bongas, A. Cayacay, J. Omandam, M. Schüler, C. Vidal

Date Published: July 18, 2023

Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs), Livelihood Resources and Aspirations of the Matigsalog and Ata Tribes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Philippines is an archipelagic country composed of different indigenous cultural communities (ICCs) spread across various islands. Indigenous peoples (IP) often face marginalization and lack access to the same resources available in lowland areas, creating inequality and barriers to their well-being and development. This study documents the indigenous knowledge systems and practices of the Matigsalog and Ata tribes in Davao City, focusing on their unique agricultural techniques, rituals, and conservation practices. Furthermore, we assessed their current livelihood options and explored opportunities for government support to improve their well-being. A focus group discussion was used to assess the knowledge and perception of participants from the Matigsalog tribe (N = 42) and Ata tribe (N = 15) of Davao City. Validation of the study took place separately through a brief presentation of the results before 15 members of the tribes and a hiking visit to their farmlands. The study determined the existing livelihoods in the two areas, which were mainly agricultural, farming of crops (rice, corn, cassava, sweet potato) and fruit trees (coconut, banana, durian, jackfruit, pomelo) and the community’s resources as well as knowledge, systems, and practices with regard to agricultural crops including climate change. Their sustainable farming practices include intercropping, seed-saving, and exchange practices, preserving these crop varieties and ensuring their availability for future planting seasons, with no usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In conclusion, the tribe’s aspirations and the resulting recommendations are consolidated to facilitate and enhance governmental assistance in a more focused and efficient manner.
