The displacement of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) due to land disputes in Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao deeply matters to us as AdDU students because it hits close to home. These issues affect our neighbors, our fellow Mindanaoans, who are often marginalized and forced from their ancestral lands. As students in a Jesuit institution that values social justice and empathy, we have a moral responsibility to stay informed and engaged in these issues. By understanding the root causes and their impact on the IPs, we are better equipped to contribute to peacebuilding, advocacy, and promoting the rights of these vulnerable communities.

As ADDU students, we can take meaningful action to address the displacement of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) due to land disputes in Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao by starting at the grassroots level. By engaging in educational campaigns and workshops that highlight the struggles of IPs, we can help raise awareness within our community. Additionally, we can volunteer in outreach programs that directly support displaced communities or collaborate with local organizations focused on protecting IP rights. Advocacy for stronger land rights protections and engaging in dialogues with local policymakers are other ways to help ensure that IPs have a voice and are protected from further displacement.

The complications of including people in humanitarian operations in the Bangsamoro region of Mindanao, which is devastated by conflict, are examined in the webinar "ODI Bites: Inclusion in Displacement and Peacebuilding in Mindanao, Philippines" with Ike Fernandez. The conversation focuses on how despite its best efforts to be inclusive, international aid is frequently seen as restrictive because of set goals and inflexible social systems. In order to address the long-term needs of displaced populations, the webinar emphasizes the need for more locally led and sustained activities, stressing that inclusion must go beyond mere representation. The case study emphasizes how crucial it is to switch from providing temporary help to long-term initiatives that guarantee internally displaced people's (IDPs') safe and honorable return to their homes.
