    “THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RIGHTS”

    Human rights in the Philippines are protected by the Constitution of the Philippines, to make sure that
    persons in the Philippines are able to live peacefully and with dignity, safe from the abuse of any individuals
    or institutions, including the state. Just like the Indigenous people’s they are people also who are living that
    we need to accept as a part of our life. What is Indigenous Peoples ?, Indigenous Peoples, people who
    inhabited a land before it was conquered by colonial societies and who consider themselves district from
    the societies currently governing those territories are called Indigenous Peoples.
    The number of Indigenous peoples in the Philippines is unknown, but it is estimated that between 10% and
    20% of the country’s population. The Philippines has adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights
    of Indigenous People’s, but has not yet ratified ILO Convertion 169.
    Rebuplic Law 8371, known as the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), was enacted in 1997. It 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.
    A more substantial implementation of the law is still sought, as the indigenous peoples of the Philippines
    continue to live in geographically isolated areas with lack of access to basic social services and a few
    opportunities for widespread economic activities, education or political participation.
    Indigenous people in the Philippines have retained much of their traditional, pre-colonial culture, social
    institutions and living practices. In general, they live in geographically isolated areas with lack of access to
    basic social services and a few opportunities for major economic activities, education or political
    participation. In contrast, commercially valuable natural resources such as minerals, forests and rivers are
    found mainly in their areas, which makes them continously vulnerable to aggression against development
    and land grabbing.
    Everyone has the rights, a freedom to choose want they wanted in their lives, a life they wanted to be, to
    speak what’s in their mind, to show, freely express their feelings. Not because of the color of the skin, poor
    or rich, everyone must have the same eyes as God who is equally looking us, being descriminated to
    others are the feeling that stays longer in each one of us minds. Accept the ones who are being
    abandoned, not because what they have, its because of they also have the rights as a human being.
