Despite the passage of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act twenty-eight years ago, the promise of representation, genuine consultation, and dialogue remains unfulfilled.

As we close National Indigenous Peoples Month, may the continuous struggle of the Indigenous Peoples be a call for the government to uplift the accessibility and quality of social services for the IP groups, bearing in mind their distinct cultures and identities.

Naniwala ka naman? Huwag basta-basta maniniwala sa iyong mga nakikita sa internet kahit pa man mukhang galing ito sa lehitimong source lalo na kung picture lamang ang iyong basehan.

Mainam na ๐ข-๐…๐€๐‚๐“ ๐‚๐‡๐„๐‚๐Š muna ang iyong binabasa kung saan una ay alamin mo muna kung sino ang nagpost, at pangalawa ay maghanap ka ng ibang credible sources na sumasang-ayon nga sa iyong nakita. Pero noong panahon ng Martial Law, marami sa ating mga taumbayan ang naniwala sa mga akusasyon ng gobyerno laban sa ilang mga inosenteng mga indibidwal na estudyante at manggagawa dahil ang mismong Estado ang nag-post o nag-hatol sa kanila ng mga akusasyon na iyon.

Ngayong araw ng Septyembre 21, 2025, nagbibigay respeto tayo sa mga naging biktima ng Martial Law tulad ni - ๐Œ๐š๐๐š๐ค๐ข โ€œ๐ƒ๐š๐ค๐ฌโ€ ๐Š๐š๐ง๐๐š, isa sa mga victim-survivor noong kasagsagan ng Palimbang Massacre. Sa edad na 14, dinakip si Madaki ng mga sundalo kasama ang kanyang ama at silang dalawa ay ipiniit sa Tacbil Mosque.

Sa kamay ng mga sundalo, nakaranas si Madaki ng matinding dusa at pang-aabuso. ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐š ๐ฉ๐š๐ฆ๐›๐ฎ๐›๐ฎ๐ ๐›๐จ๐ , ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฒ๐š ๐ง๐  ๐š๐ฅ๐š๐ฆ๐›๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ๐จ๐ค ๐š๐ง๐  ๐ค๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐š๐ง๐  ๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐š ๐ง๐  ๐ค๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ๐š๐ง, ๐ง๐š ๐ง๐ ๐š๐ฒ๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ๐š ๐ง๐š๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ž๐ค๐ฅ๐š๐ญ ๐ง๐š ๐ก๐š๐›๐š๐ง๐  ๐›๐ฎ๐ก๐š๐ฒ ๐ง๐š ๐ง๐š๐ค๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ค๐š ๐ฌ๐š ๐ค๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐š๐ง๐  ๐ค๐š๐ญ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ง.

Isang gabi, isinilid na siya sa sako kung saan narinig niya ang banta ng isa sa mga sundalo: โ€œ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜บ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข โ€˜๐˜บ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ช ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜ช๐˜บ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ด๐˜ข ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ต.โ€

Sa bingit ng kamatayan, naligtas si Madaki ng kanyang kakayahan na magsalita ng Ilocano. Nang marinig ng sundalo na binibigkas niya ang dialekto, doon lamang siya pinakawalan at nabigyan ng pagkakataon na makalaya.

Iilan lang ito sa maraming karanasan ng karahasan at harassment na pinalaganap ng mga tauhan ng estado na naganap noong panahon ng Martial Law. Huwag nating ulitin ang mga pag-kakamali noon. Maging alisto tayo sa mga naririnig at nababasa natin tungkol sa ating kapwa. ๐ˆ-๐…๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐‚๐ก๐ž๐œ๐ค ๐ฆ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐š: ๐“๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ง๐ ๐š ๐›๐š ๐ข๐ญ๐จ? ๐’๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ง๐จ๐, ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ ๐ซ๐ข๐ง ๐š๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข: ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐š๐ญ-๐๐š๐ฉ๐š๐ญ ๐ง๐ ๐š ๐›๐š๐ง๐  ๐ง๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐š๐ฒ๐š๐ซ๐ข ๐š๐ง๐  ๐ฆ๐ ๐š ๐ ๐š๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐›๐š๐ ๐š๐ฒ?

Today, we celebrate the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, and the 10th year of the National Indigenous People Day (NIPD). Behind the celebration and the festivities, the Indigenous Peoples continue to face a dark reality brought about by the government's blatant disregard of their rights, culture, and identity.

May this day not only serve as a celebration of their existence but also a reminder of their continued resistance.
