Showcasing the culture and tradition
In the Philippines there are many cultures that are forgotten including the culture of the indigenous people and some of them is we don't know. Many of their rights have been violated but in the month of October, this is the day to appreciate the culture and tradition from these people.
Indigenous Peoples Month and the 27th Year Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Commemoration from October 1-30 with the theme “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana.” (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge). The October celebration will culminate the activity of honoring the Indigenous Peoples who are prime movers and champions for IPRA, practitioners and advocates in the preservation/safeguarding of the Indigenous Peoples culture and transfer of indigenous knowledge, systems and practices to younger generations. It showcase the importance of embracing the culture of our citizens.
It also promotes and protect the rights and culture of the Indigenous People. By this celebration we can also extend our heartfelt greetings to thank them specifically for their contributions in agriculture and food security; their culture and customs and traditions woven in their natural environment and ancestral domains; their roles as stewards of our country’s land and seas; and their leadership role in nation building.
