00:00And in our new season, we will focus on convergence or the integration of programs and stakeholders

00:07in the continuous development of communities and communities.

00:11We will talk here in our program,

00:15Chairperson Jennifer Pia C. Muglas of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, NCIP,

00:20to talk about how agencies and partners of the government converge

00:24in addressing issues and advancing the rights of indigenous women.

00:29Chair Pia C. Muglas, good morning. Welcome to Aksyon Lawan sa Kahirapan.

00:33Good morning and happy Women's Month to you, Ma'am Diane.

00:37Happy Women's Month.

00:38Happy Women's Month.

00:39Let's just be together for one day.

00:41Congratulations for being one of the worldies,

00:44for the Filipino women leaders.

00:47All right, let's start this conversation, Chair Pia C. Muglas,

00:50about the number of indigenous Filipinos in the country.

00:54How many are they?

00:55And what are the interventions of the NCIP

00:58so that the number of Filipinos in the country can be reduced?

01:03Yes, Ma'am Diane,

01:04the number of indigenous Filipinos in the country is estimated to be around 14 million plus.

01:1166% are found in Mindanao,

01:1433% in the north,

01:16and almost 3% in Visayas.

01:20The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples,

01:22or Pambansang Komisyon ng Mga Katutubong Pamayanan,

01:26was formed by our government

01:29to form and implement the programs, projects, and methods

01:36to strengthen the rights of our indigenous peoples in their land,

01:42in their own government, in justice, and in human rights,

01:47and especially in their cultural integrity.

01:51The NCIP exists to coordinate with the other national government agencies.

01:59We cooperate, we are united in their programs

02:03so that their mandates can be fulfilled.

02:08Just like, of course, the National Anti-Poverty Commission,

02:12our DSWD,

02:14where we used to be a part of,

02:17and now we have been transferred to the Office of the President.

02:21We are also with the DOH, the DALG,

02:25and other offices or agencies

02:29where the NCIP helps to improve the quality of life of our indigenous Filipinos.

02:38That's a lot of money, P14 million,

02:41that your agency is contributing.

02:45And it's great that you mentioned the convergence,

02:48the cooperation of various agencies

02:51so that they can have access to government services.

02:55Now, in terms of the rights of these IPs,

02:57how can we ensure that they are protected

03:00and have access to their rights?

03:03Here in our convergence or coordinative efforts

03:07and cooperation with various agencies,

03:10we ensure that they are protected

03:13because this is also the mandate of our office,

03:17to recognize, respect, protect,

03:20and especially protect their rights and rights in the land of our ancestors.

03:26As a result of this,

03:28the NCIP ensures that if there are programs, projects,

03:32or activities that will be implemented in the land of our ancestors,

03:37we have what we call free prior informed consent,

03:41or what we call free, prior, and clear consent

03:47that is done with our fellow citizens

03:52before the project is implemented in their land of ancestors.

03:56With that, I remember when I had a conversation with a sectoral representative,

04:00that is also one of their concerns,

04:02that if there are big infrastructure projects,

04:06they should really have a consultant

04:08because they are the ones who are highly affected by this.

04:10And I hope they will also have a share

04:12when it comes to the economic benefit

04:14of building big infrastructure projects for that instance.

04:17There is.

04:18That is the main objective of our office,

04:24to ensure that if there are projects to be implemented,

04:28there is a share that our fellow citizens get

04:33through the use of their land of ancestors.

04:35Now, in terms of the concept of intersectionality,

04:38in the elimination of many social problems,

04:41how is this reflected in your commission, ma'am?

04:45Yes, we are looking at it, especially in Women's Month,

04:49and we are looking at the goals and duties of our female members

04:54and their fellow citizens.

04:56There are many challenges.

04:59First is their land rights,

05:03and sometimes the displacement,

05:05sometimes the discrimination that we call,

05:08and the marginalization.

05:11And moreover, sometimes we can see

05:14a lack of access to health, education,

05:17and economic opportunities for our fellow citizens.

05:20That is why, during this time,

05:22we are focusing more on helping different agencies

05:28to address these problems

05:32and to give them equal attention,

05:35especially when it comes to the rights of our fellow citizens

05:40in our Magna Carta for the Poor,

05:44that they need adequate food,

05:48adequate housing,

05:49quality education,

05:51what we call high and sustainable health care,

05:55and other decent work and employment

06:00that our agencies need to ensure

06:03that we can provide to our fellow citizens.

06:06Alright, Chair Sibuglas, I want to touch on the quality education

06:09because some of our RIPs, or most of them,

06:11are in remote areas.

06:13So, how do we make sure

06:14that we can provide quality education to them?

06:17Our agency, Ma'am Diane,

06:19we have a program,

06:21what we call the Educational Assistance Program,

06:24where we can reach our young people

06:30in remote areas

06:32and encourage them to study well

06:36and provide assistance in their studies.

06:39But it does not end here, Ma'am Diane.

06:42What we are doing,

06:43because of what you were saying earlier,

06:46when a project comes in,

06:48what is our assurance that they have a share?

06:51Not only do we get royalty shares,

06:55but also benefits such as education.

06:58Here in our associations,

07:00together with our proponents

07:03who enter our land of Ninuno,

07:06we make sure that they get benefits

07:10when it comes to education.

07:12Because of this,

07:13we are saying and encouraging our proponents

07:17to provide appropriate assistance

07:21to our young people

07:24so that they can study and be educated,

07:27so that they can be taught

07:29whatever they want to study

07:32so that they can improve their quality of life

07:39and so that they can contribute to poverty.

07:42When it comes to National Women's Month,

07:45you mentioned the statement for National Women's Month

07:49that women are preservers of culture,

07:51protectors of people,

07:53and the heart of strength.

07:55What is the importance of having women

07:57when it comes to decision-making and leadership roles,

08:00just like you, Chair Sibugla, in NCIP?

08:03Thank you for your question, Ma'am Diane.

08:06Our women are the center of strength

08:10of a future generation.

08:13They become community leaders

08:16using their cultures,

08:18their talents,

08:21and their skills

08:23when it comes to showing their beauty,

08:27their identity,

08:29and especially in history,

08:31I mentioned in the Gawad Pilipino Awards

08:34that the first national hero

08:38is an indigenous woman, Gabriela Sina,

08:41who hails from a Tingyan community.

08:44So, they are really strong

08:46and our indigenous women

08:49have a unique character.

08:51Especially when they become community leaders,

08:54they lead their own communities.

08:57They also become political representatives.

09:01In our Indigenous Peoples' Mandatory Representatives,

09:05in the whole country,

09:07we have 5,200 plus IPMRs,

09:11and almost 28% of them are women.

09:16So, we see that they become culture bearers,

09:20history keepers,

09:22and traditional law practitioners

09:25who have a big role in national history,

09:29peace, and prosperity

09:31of our indigenous peoples and our society.

09:34Well, these are all worthy of being celebrated.

09:36Yes, ma'am.

09:37And happy National Women's Day,

09:39Chair Sibuglaas.

09:41I hope that more leadership roles

09:43will be occupied by women

09:45because representation is very important

09:47and you are an inspiration.

09:48Thank you very much.

09:50Again, we are joined by

09:52Chairperson of NCIT,

09:54Chair Jennifer Pia Sibuglaas.

09:57And we are very thankful for your support.

09:59We invite you to tune in again

10:01to our program on Thursday.

10:03And join us in action against poverty.

10:07Again, thank you very much, Chair Sibuglaas.
