Cultural Beliefs and Practices of Ethnic Filipinos: An Ethnographic Study

The study was to determine the cultural beliefs and practices of the ethnic Filipinos. This is a qualitative study and the focus is the Aetas living in Central Philippines. The informants were the 9 prominent Aetas, 6 of them were Aeta women who have experienced pregnancy or pregnant during the time this study was conducted. The findings revealed that during pregnancy their most  beliefs and practices are observed by the Aetas.  Some of the traditional beliefs and practices of Aetas  have been influenced by many factors. They have also retained some of their traditional beliefs and practices on pregnancy, childbirth, marriage, death and burial despite the effects of the factors mentioned. All throughout the life stages of the Aetas in the rural communities, their old beliefs and practices had been influenced by modernization.  It simply shows that the Aetas , are also susceptible to accept changes that may affect their way of life. Their traditional cultural practices that deeply rooted in their beliefs were difficult to neglect since it has already been part of their tradition for years.

El presente documento tiene como finalidad el mostrar de manera general, cuales son los conceptos que desde el Derecho Internacional y los Derechos Humanos, se han expresado para tratar de definir a los grupos indígenas en el mundo.

In the Philippines, around 10 to 20% of the estimated population of over 100 million Indigenous Peoples (IPs) have a long-suffered history of struggle for land, culture, preservation, and rights recognized in the face of numerous injustices and challenges as citizenship in the Philippines. The Philippine nation-state is composed of over 100 ethnolinguistic and cultural groups, which includes an Indigenous Peoples (IPs) population that has been marginalized by the government and society.

The Philippines have 7,500 islands and among those islands there are at least 106 ethnic groups that are living there. Also, there are more than 180 languages that are being used according to their ethnic groups. The word 'indigenous' comes from the Latin word 'indigen' that means native or original inhabitant. The Indigenous peoples (IPs) in the Philippines are diverse and can be classified into different groups based on their location, culture, and language. According to Kottak (2000), they are often the descendants of tribes who are culturally distinct colonized peoples and aspiring into autonomy. There are indigenous groups whose population

Circular Economy in the City: A Rapid Ethnographic Research on Circular Economy in a Philippine Urban Setting

pdf (42.3MB)

February 28, 2022

The report entitled Circular Economy in the City: A Rapid Ethnographic Research on Circular Economy in a Philippine Urban Setting highlights the urgency to shift to a more circular economic model in the Philippines due to the burgeoning problem of unsustainable production and consumption. The report informs us about the advantages of the circular economy: it could help in preventing biodiversity loss, fighting climate change, and addressing the waste problem with potential to provide green novel jobs. We can see the gravity of the situation in the Philippines, as it named the third largest source of discarded waste – bulk of which is plastic waste that ends up in the ocean.
