    Uploaded by

    Charrie Mae Marcos
    The document discusses the author's prior understanding of indigenous peoples (IP) groups in the Philippines. It defines three main IP groups - the Aeta, T'boli, and Blaan peoples. The Aeta are considered the original Black race who inhabited remote parts of Luzon. The T'boli are an animist ethnic group from southwestern Mindanao. The Blaan derive their name from terms meaning "opponent" and "people" and live in mountains of Southern Mindanao. All three groups have traditionally lived in mountainous regions.

    When I hear the word katutubo, the first thing that comes in my mind is “Native”.
    2. Can you enumerate the name/s of the group of people in the Philippines that you consider as
    belonging to the classification as katutubo? Please provide a description of each.

    # Name of the Group Description


    1 Aeta The Aeta are sometimes
    referred to as Baluga,
    which translates as
    "hybrid," in Central
    Luzon, they known to
    be the original Black
    race who inhabited the
    remote and
    mountainous regions of
    Luzon

    Southern Mindanao in the

    "bla" meaning
    "opponent" and the suffix
    "an" meaning "people".

    The Indigenous People in the Philippines: I Want to Learn More

    1. Which among the definitions discussed in class do you think is the most appropriate and
    acceptable? Why?
    The word “indigenous” comes from the Latin word “indigen” which means native or
    original inhabitant—an idea that became popular in the 17th century. Thus, the most
    common understanding of the concept suggests that they are people who are the
    original inhabitants of the land.
    2. Identify one IP group in the Philippines you think matches the definition of IPs that you
    think is most appropriate and acceptable. Find and paste a picture of this group in the box
    below.

    Provide an explanation why this group can be categorized under Indigenous


    Cultural Communities or Indigenous People.

    I have read one theory suggests that the Aeta are the descendants of the original
    inhabitants of the Philippines. The Aeta are an indigenous people who live in
    scattered, isolated mountainous parts of Luzon, Philippines. They are thought to be
    among the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines, preceding the Austronesian
    migrations. 

    What do you want to learn about them?

    I want to learn more about their culture, their daily routine, the one they worship, the food
    they eat and the values they are holding.
