Honoring the Wisdom of Our Roots

Today, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day and the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples—a tribute to the rich cultures, traditions, and invaluable contributions of indigenous communities in the Philippines and around the world. 🌿
Let’s protect their rights, preserve their ancestral lands, and amplify their voices.
Let us learn from the wisdom of our indigenous peoples—their deep respect for nature, the value of community, and the beauty of heritage. Be champions of inclusivity and cultural preservation.
