Today, August 12, 2026, the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) joins Indigenous Peoples and communities across the country and around the world in commemorating the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (IDWIP) and the National Indigenous Peoples Day (NIPD).

With this year’s theme, “Honoring Indigenous Midwives: Safeguarding Life and Well-being,” we recognize and celebrate the invaluable role of Indigenous midwives-women who carry generations of traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and compassionate care in safeguarding the lives and well-being of mothers, children, and communities.

Beyond their role in childbirth, Indigenous midwives are bearers of ancestral knowledge, protectors of cultural traditions, and guardians of community well-being. Their wisdom reminds us that Indigenous knowledge and practices remain vital in building healthier, more resilient, and culturally grounded communities.

📍 Happening today at NCIP August 12, 2026

Join us as we honor the knowledge, courage, and enduring service of Indigenous midwives and celebrate the rich heritage, identity, and continuing contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

Padayaw, Indigenous Peoples!

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The 2026 FPIC Guidelines are the result of over a decade of rigorous research, extensive consultation, and dialogue with Indigenous Communities, NCIP Field Offices, various government agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector, and other stakeholders across the Philippines. These guidelines were developed to address the lessons and challenges in implementing the 2012 FPIC Guidelines and to further strengthen the protection of Indigenous Communities' rights under IPRA.

Among the significant reforms are the enhancement of transparency and accountability through the FPIC Transparency Server, stricter disclosure requirements for applicants, recognition of the precautionary principle for projects with high environmental and cultural risks, strengthened human rights monitoring, clearer guidelines against conflict of interest, and continued obligations to comply with FPIC conditions throughout the implementation period.

The NCIP remains open to meaningful dialogue and proposals to further strengthen FPIC implementation. We will continue to advocate for the rights of Indigenous Communities to freely make decisions regarding issues affecting their ancestral lands, culture, and future.

“Prosperous Indigenous Communities: Foundation of National Development”

OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG

Ang 2026 FPIC Guidelines ay bunga ng mahigit isang dekadang masusing pagsusuri at malawak na konsultasyon at pakikipagdiyalogo sa mga Katutubong Pamayanan, mga NCIP Field Offices, iba’t ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan, civil society organizations, pribadong sektor, at iba pang stakeholder sa iba’t ibang panig ng Pilipinas. Isinulong ang mga ito upang tugon sa mga aral at hamon sa pagpapatupad ng 2012 FPIC Guidelines at higit pang patatagin ang proteksiyon sa mga karapatan ng mga Katutubong Pamayanan sa ilalim ng IPRA.

Kabilang sa mahahalagang reporma ang pagpapalakas ng transparency at pananagutan sa pamamagitan ng FPIC Transparency Server, mas mahigpit na disclosure requirements
para sa mga aplikante, pagkilala sa precautionary principle para sa mga proyektong may mataas na panganib sa kapaligiran at kultura, pinalakas na human rights monitoring, mas malinaw na mga tuntunin laban sa conflict of interest, at patuloy na obligasyon sa pagsunod sa mga kondisyon ng FPIC sa buong panahon ng implementasyon ng proyekto.

Nananatiling bukas ang NCIP sa makabuluhang diyalogo at mga mungkahi upang higit pang mapatatag ang pagpapatupad ng FPIC. Patuloy naming ipagtatanggol ang karapatan ng mga Katutubong Pamayanan na malayang magpasya sa mga usaping nakaaapekto sa kanilang mga lupang ninuno, kultura, at kinabukasan.

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊!

Ngayong araw, opisyal na nagsisimula ang isang linggong pagdiriwang ng kultural na yaman ng mga katutubong pamayanan sa buong bansa.

Alinsunod sa Proclamation No. 250, s. 1988 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Corazon Aquino, nakatakda ang ikalawang linggo ng Hulyo bilang "Cultural Communities Week," isang taunang pagkakataon upang kilalanin, ipagdiwang, at pangalagaan ang natatanging kultura, kasaysayan, at pagkakakilanlan ng mga katutubong pamayanan.

Ang kanilang kultura ay hindi lamang pamana ng nakaraan, ito ay buhay na pundasyon ng ating pambansang pagkakakilanlan. Bawat tradisyon, wika, at kaalaman sa kanilang pangangalaga ay bahagi ng kayamanan ng bansa.

Sama-sama nating ipagdiwang ang linggong ito! Inaanyayahan ang lahat na makiisa sa mga programa ng NCIP at magsagawa ng kanilang sariling aktibidad na nagbibigay-pugay sa makulay na kultura ng mga katutubong pamayanan.

Manatiling nakatutok sa aming page para sa mga susunod na programa at aktibidad. 🌿
