My Understanding of IP Groups in the


Philippines
1.) "Katutubo" is a Filipino word that translates to "indigenous people" or "native people" in
English. It refers to the ethnic groups or communities in the Philippines who are the
original inhabitants of the archipelago before the arrival of the colonizers. The Katutubo
have their own distinct cultures, languages, and traditions that have been passed down
from generation to generation. However, they have faced challenges such as
marginalization, discrimination, and loss of their ancestral lands and resources due to
historical and ongoing colonialism, globalization, and development projects. Efforts have
been made to promote the recognition, protection, and empowerment of the Katutubo
communities, their rights, and their contributions to the country's diversity and heritage.

# NAME OF THE GROUP DESCRIPTION


Ifugao, group of wet-rice
agriculturalists occupying
the mountainous area of
northern Luzon,
Philippines. They are of
1 Ifugao Malay stock and their
language is Austronesian
(Malayo-Polynesian), as is
that of their neighbors, but
they have developed a
number of cultural
characteristics that set
them apart.
The Aeta (also Ayta or
Agta), until recently a
hunter-gatherer population,
are indigenous to the main
island of Luzon in the
Philippine archipelago.
2 Aeta They are considered by
anthropologists to be
descendants of the original
inhabitants of the
Philippines.

The single most impressive


distinction of the Mangyan
is their continued use of a
native Indic-based script or
syllabary for writing their
3 Mangyans "ambahan" or "urukay" a
form of poetry, and for
songs. These are written
by stylus or knives on
slivers of bamboo.

The Indigenous People in the


Philippines: I Want to Learn More
1.) The most appropriate and acceptable definition that was discussed in class was the
term “Indigenous”.

Indigenous people, also known as native or aboriginal people, are those who are the
original inhabitants of a specific geographic region or territory. They have a distinct
cultural, linguistic, and social identity that has evolved over centuries or millennia,
often in close relationship with their environment and natural resources. Indigenous
people can be found in different parts of the world, including North and South
America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

Indigenous people have often faced challenges such as discrimination,


marginalization, and loss of their lands and resources due to colonization,
globalization, and development projects. Despite these challenges, many indigenous
communities have managed to preserve and revitalize their cultures, languages, and
traditions, and have contributed to the world's cultural diversity, knowledge systems,
and environmental sustainability.

Efforts have been made to promote the recognition, protection, and empowerment of
indigenous people, their rights, and their contributions. For instance, the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted in 2007,
recognizes the rights of indigenous people to self-determination, culture, language,
education, health, and participation in decision-making processes that affect them.
2.) Ifugao

Provide an explanation why this group can be


categorized under Indigenous Cultural
Communities or Indigenous People.

*The Ifugao are one of the indigenous communities in the Philippines, particularly in
the Cordillera region of Luzon Island. They are known for their rice terraces, which
are UNESCO World Heritage sites and considered as one of the country's cultural
treasures.

The Ifugao people have a rich cultural heritage that includes their unique language,
music, dance, and ritual practices. They are also known for their skills in carving and
weaving, producing intricate items such as baskets, blankets, and wooden figurines.

The Ifugao have a strong connection with their ancestral lands and natural
resources, which are vital to their traditional way of life and worldview. They have
faced challenges such as displacement, environmental degradation, and cultural
erosion due to colonialism, modernization, and development projects. However, they
have also shown resilience and adaptability in preserving and promoting their cultural
practices and sustainable livelihoods.
Efforts have been made to support the Ifugao people in their cultural preservation
and development. For example, there are initiatives to promote sustainable tourism
that showcases the Ifugao's rice terraces and cultural heritage while providing
economic opportunities and environmental conservation. There are also programs
that provide education, healthcare, and other basic services to the Ifugao
communities.
