Introduction

In this module, we will focus on indigenizing social science. What is


indigenizing? What does it do? How is it important to national development?
These questions that lurk in your mind needs to be answered. Each answers
need to anchor in context with our local community.

What is indigenization? Indigenization is the act to suit a local


culture, especially through more indigenous people in the administration,
employment, etc.

Indigenization involves a process of infusing aboriginal knowledge and


perspective into the structural layers of an institution. The goal is to create a
more inclusive environment by presenting a different world view and
enhancing and enriching the educational and cultural experience of the
educational community. It does not mean the institution is indigenous-
centered, but it does mean that consideration of aboriginal issues comes
naturally. Moreso, the development of a self-governing, self-supporting, self-
propagating nation reflects positive aspects of the local culture in its

expression of the nation. Therefore there is a need to indigenize the western


theories in social sciences for better understanding of our Filipino culture.

Now, let us begin understanding indigenized social sciences.

Why do we need to indigenize social science?

Social sciences, as we know then today, are considerable of western


origin. In the third world, they were a colonial import. Even today, they do not
appear to have gained firm roots in the new soil and are not adequately
adapted to the social environment of their new habitat’s social environment.
Non-western civilizations had their social thought traditions and many of
them even made limited use of the empirical method for understanding their
societies. Still such intellectual quests did not crystalize sufficiently to acquire
disciplinary individuality. In these civilizations speculation and reflection
concerning man and society gained greater strength in social ethics and
philosophy. The western intellectual impact unmistakably shapes the forms
in which the social sciences have developed in the Third world societies.

Indigenization does not involve a retreat of the social sciences into


national shells. It is aimed principally at a redefinition of focus and at
purposive efforts to develop dynamic perspectives on national problems and
critical issues of public policy.

It also introduces to overhaul the western-introduced academic


disciples in the Philippine educational settings. Furthermore, indigenization
would also mean the studying ethnicity, society, culture, and its application
to historical anthropological and psychological research and practice using
indigenous perspectives. Therefore, the Philippine government created laws
to cater the need of the indigenous member of the community.

Looking back history, in the year 1909, the court has recognized the
extended occupancy of land by an indigenous member of the cultural
communities as one of private ownership, which, in legal concept, is termed
"native title.” In the year 1919, the Second Public Land Act was enacted,
recognizing the right of ownership of any native of the country who, since July
4, 1907, or prior thereto, has continuously occupied and cultivated, either by
himself or through his predecessors-in-interest, a tract of public agricultural
land(Bautista, P 2015).

Commonwealth Act No.141(1936), amended by R.A. 3872 of 1964, was


passed which provides that members of the national cultural minorities who
have resided on agricultural, public land since July 4, 1955, are entitled to
recognition of ownership whether or not the land has been certified as
"disposable." They shall be conclusively presumed to have performed all
conditions essential to a government grant and shall be entitled to a certificate
of title.

3
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

In the 1970s, the laws protecting indigenous people's lands expanded


to territorial and bigger domains. Under Bureau of Forestry Administrative
Order No. 11 of 1970, all forest concessions were made subject to the private
rights of cultural minorities within the area as evidenced by their occupation
existing when the government issued a license. The Revised Forestry Code of
1975 (Presidential Decree 705 under President Marcos) defines this "private
right" of as "places of abode and worship, burial grounds and old clearings."(
https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/)

In 1978, the Presidential Arm for National Minorities (PANAMIN) was


authorized to design, implement and maintain settlements among the
National Minorities. Prior to this, a Presidential Decree was issued in 1974,
"declaring all agricultural lands occupied and cultivated by members of the
National Cultural Communities since 1964 as alienable and disposable,
except the islands of Panay and Negros and the provinces of Abra, Quezon,
Benguet and Camarines which became effective on March 11, 1984(Damaso;
De Guzman, Manzano, (1998)).

The most recent laws before the Indigenous People's Rights Act of 1997
was passed which recognize the existence of the ancestral land right are the
Organic Act of Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (RA 6734, 1989)and
the Organic Act for the Cordillera Autonomous Region (RA 6766, 1989).
(Damaso, De Guzman ,Manzano, (1998)).

However, all the decrees that have been passed fail to encompass all
indigenous people’s needs primarily because of failure in implementation and
sole focus on the land and domains. Therefore, a more comprehensive law is
needed that "seeks to stop prejudice against indigenous people by recognizing
individual rights over their ancestral lands. Recognize and protect the
indigenous people’s rights to their ancestral domain social justice and human
rights, self-determination and empowerment, and their cultural integrity.
Then gave birth to movements for a comprehensive law to protect the Filipino
indigenous people.

Republic Act 8371 (RA 8371), Known as the Indigenous Peoples


Rights Act (IPRA), was enacted in 1997. It has been praised for its support for
indigenous peoples cultural integrity the right to their lands and the right to
self-directed development of these lands.

In 2007 the United Nations issued its declaration on indigenous


peoples’ rights-The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples (UNDRIP).

Today the declaration is the most comprehensive international


instrument on the rights of indigenous peoples. It establishes a universal
framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of
the indigenous peoples. It elaborates on existing human rights standards and
fundamental freedoms as they apply to indigenous peoples’ specific situation.

Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

What is the importance of indigenization development?

Ensure self reliance: indigenization eliminates the problem of


dependence on foreign goods by ensuring self -reliance.

Development of private initiatives: Encouraging indigenous people


to participate in business enterprise. The private initiative will develop with
indigenization.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples


(UNDRIP) paved the way to recognizing the minority communities. It gave
them the hope to make a significant existence in the community.

RA 8371 (IPRA Law) is the safety net of all Indigenous Cultural


Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs). The law provides scope of
protection such as the following:

Section 32 - Community Intellectual Rights. CCs/IPs have the right


to practice and revitalize their own cultural traditions and customs. The State
shall preserve, protect and develop the past, present and future
manifestations of their cultures and the right to the restitution of cultural,
intellectual religious, and spiritual property taken without their free and prior
informed consent or in violation of their laws, traditions and customs.

Section 34 - Right to Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices


and to Develop own Sciences and Technologies. ICCs/IPs are entitled to
the recognition of the full ownership and control and protection of their
cultural and intellectual rights. They shall have the right to special measures
to control, develop and protect their sciences, technologies and cultural
manifestations, including human and other genetic resources, seeds,
including derivatives of these resources, traditional medicines and hearth
practices, vital medicinal plants, animals and minerals, indigenous
knowledge systems and practices, knowledge of the properties of fauna and
flora, oral traditions, literature, designs, and visual and performing arts.

Section 35 - Access to Biological and Genetic Resources. Access to


biological and genetic resources and indigenous knowledge related to the
conservation, utilization and enhancement of these resources, shall be
allowed within ancestral lands and domains of the ICCs/IPs only with a free
and prior informed consent of such communities, obtained in accordance with
customary laws of the concerned community.

Indigenizing the Curriculum

DepEd’s New Vision, Mission and Core Values. With the Balanced
Scorecard under the Performance Governance System (DepEd Order 39
s.2010), a new set of vision, mission, and core values has been crafted .

5
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

Vision. By 2030, DepEd is globally recognized for good governance and


for developing functionally-literate and God-loving Filipinos.

Mission .To provide quality basic education accessible to all and lays
the foundation of lifelong learning and service for the common good.

Core Values.Culture of Excellence, Integrity and Accountability; Maka-


Diyos; Makatao; Makabayan; Makakalikasan.

Philippine Education For All (EFA) 2015 Plan. The Basic Education Sector
Reform Agenda (BESRA), is intended to facilitate the EFA 2015 Plan’s
implementtion by focusing on the learners, teachers and school/learning
centers. BESRA also supports the attainment of the Millennium Development
Goals.

BESRA is a package of interrelated policy actions intended to bring


about a fundamental change in how education is delivered across the basic
education sector and how basic education reforms are planned and
implemented. The end goal is to make a functional literate Filipino,
communicate effectively, solve problem, think critically and creatively, use
resources sustainably and be productive, and develop a sense of community
and expand world view.

Three Waves of Curriculum Development for Indigenous Peoples

1. CURRICULUM INDIGENIZATION.Curriculum content is


organized, and implemented by indigenous peoples.
2. LOCALIZATION/CONTEXTUALIZATION OF THE
CURRICULUM.Curriculum content is adapted to the community.
3. INDIGENIZATION OF THE CURRICULUM.Curriculum content
is adopted from the community.

What is NCIP?

The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) is the


agency of the Philippines national government that is responsible for
protecting the rights of the indigenous peoples of the Philippines. The
commission is composed of seven commissioners. It is attached to the
Department of Social Welfare and Development.

What is the role of NCIP?

The NCIP is the primary government agency that formulates and


implements policies, plans and programs to recognize, promote and protect
Indigenous Peoples’ rights and well being regarding their ancestral domains
and lands, self-governance and empowerment, social justice and human
rights.

6
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

With all the mandate in the Constitution of the Philippines such as the
Article III the Bill of rights section 1 states “ No person shall be deprived of
life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall any person be
denied the equal protection of the laws.”(Philippine Constitution,1987)

EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ARTS, CULTURE AND


SPORTS Article XIV Section 17. The State shall recognize, respect, and
protect indigenous cultural communities’ rights to preserve and develop their
cultures, traditions, and institutions. It shall consider these rights in the
formulation of national plans and policies.

Section 18. (1) The State shall ensure equal access to cultural
opportunities through the educational system, public or private cultural
entities, scholarships, grants and other incentives, community cultural
centers, and other public venues.

All the efforts to indigenize the social sciences, bring down in the
context of localized resources for the Filipinos to understand its culture,
tradition and language. More so , it help in the national development as
geared towards realizing the road map to development.

Lastly, the Local Government Unit(LGU) proves to be the small unit that
binds us to attain the end goals of a better Philippines.

As the IRR ( Implementing Rules and Regulations) of the IPRA Law Rule
IV: Right To Self-Governance And Empowerment states that: Self-Governance
and Political Leadership Systems section 1: Recognition of Authentic
Leadership. In pursuance of the right to self governance and self-
determination, the ICCs/IPs, in coordination with the Department of the
Interior and Local Government, through the NCIP, shall formulate measures
to ensure that :

a) The socio-political structures, systems and institutions of ICCs/IPs


are strengthened;

b) The indigenous structures, systems, and institutions are not


supplanted by other forms of nonindigenous governance; and/ or

c) Mechanisms that allow the interfacing of indigenous systems of


governance with the national systems are established.

The mandate to empower the ICC/IPs in their political structure and


ensure that their rights is being protected.

Why is it necessary to indigenize the Philippine Social Science?

This theory is important because it gives us a psychological identity


appropriate for the Filipino's customs and culture. The principal emphasis of

7
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

Sikolohiyang Pilipino is to foster national identity and consciousness, social


involvement and psychology of language and culture.

If we are already aware of who and what we are as Filipinos, we may be


able to give rise to the Filipino identity that we call our own identity different
from the colonizers. As the song by Orange & Lemons “ Pinoy Ako”

“Pinoy ikaw ay pinoy Pinoy tayo


Ipakita sa mundo 'Pakita mo ang tunay at kung sino
Kung ano ang kaya mo ka
Ibang-iba ang pinoy Mayro'n mang masama at
Wag kang matatakot maganda
Ipagmalaki mo pinoy ako Wala naman perpekto”

Let Us Remember

Let us remember and understand the concepts of indigenizing social


sciences.

What is the definition of "indigenization"?

Indigenization is how Indigenous ways of knowing, being, doing and


relating are incorporated into educational, organizational, cultural and social
structures of the institution. Integrating it to social sciences may lead to better
understanding Filipino culture.

Goals. To make Indigenous learners as we can be, and prepare non-


Indigenous students, graduates and employees to better understand, live
alongside , and work with Indigenous peoples.

The development and maintenance of deep relationships with


community. The following needs must be addressed:

• Dedicated resources to community relationship development


(NCIP IP’s community and other Lumad groups), including a
person or people who can build bridges between Indigenous
communities and the institution.
• Informed willingness and capacity on the part of the institution
and its programs to work collaboratively and respectfully with
Indigenous communities and knowledge keepers.
• A knowledge about and use of Indigenous scholarship through
LGU initiatives.
• Faculty to develop and/or co-develop curriculum and to teach.
• Understand the concept of Indigenous knowledge and how best
to integrate it in the curriculum.
• Commitment to a significant organizational culture change
project such as NCIP programs and projects for the indigenous
people.

3
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

• The formulation of strong relationships across the institution


among Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is necessary to
understand of why Indigenization is important.
• IPRA law implementation.

The process of Indigenization is most effective when it emerges from the


grassroots, from relationships with Indigenous people, and experience with
Indigenous communities. For Indigenous employees at all levels, the
importance of building and maintaining relationships with allies across the
institution is critical. Importanly preservation of our culture through
indigenizing our social sciences for a more developed nation.

Let Us Reflect

Let us read and reflect on how the Local Government Unit (LGU) and
the National Government help identify social sciences in fostering national
development and empowering indigenous people (IPs) to help build a better
Philippines.

EBSU PRODUCES ITS FIRST BATCH OF


DOCTORS

They were the first recipients of the medical


scholarship grant offered by the local government of
Davao. Now that they are professional doctors after
passing the Physician Licensure Examination in
September, they want to give back.
One of the successful scholars, Subanen lumad Jenny Adtoon, said she wants to serve
the people of Davao as her way of showing gratitude for the opportunity given to her as
a recipient of the medical scholarship program under the Davao City Government’s
Educational Benefits System Unit (EBSU).
She said she would not be able to finish her last two years in medical school if it
7
Q4-DISS-11 Module-2-1

were not for the scholarship grant.


“I want to serve the government and the people of Davao. Had it not been for the
opportunity given to me, it would have been more difficult for me to finish medicine,” she
said.
She recalled how she struggled through her medical studies because of the
expensive school fees. “The people around would know how difficult it was for me. But
the same difficulty made me strong,” she said. “And I am extremely thankful for the
opportunity given to me by the City Government of Davao.”
Just like Adtoon, a lumad from the Bagobo tribe, Jeannie Marie Salmasan, was
thankful for the grant.“I don’t think I would be able to take medicine had it not been for the
grant,” she said. “My parents could not afford to send me to a medical school. For my
entire medical education, EBSU has financially assisted me.”
Salmasan said she wants to serve the people of Paquibato.“I used to work in
Paquibao and I promised myself and the people that should I make it, I will serve the
community,” she said. “It would be a wonderful opportunity to serve the people of
Paquibato District.” As a lumad, she said, serving lumad communities is a personal
mission.“I come from the Bagobo tribe, and the biggest thing that I could contribute to the
government is to help the tribe,” she said.
The scholarship covered tuition and annual cash allowance of P20,000 for books
and other school needs.
Since 2016, the administration of Mayor Inday Sara Duterte has been supporting
50 medicine students. Currently, there are 1,904 EBSU scholars taking different courses
in different Colleges and universities in Davao City.
