Working Title Application of the Cultural Responsive Pedagogy among IP Learners in Iriga City, Camarines Sur
Introduction
In accordance with the Deped Memorandum No. 35 series of 2019 which is all about Contextualization and Localization of
Learning Resources and merging it with Deped Order No. 62 series of 2011 which is about the Indigenous People Education
Program has been two important bases for the researcher’s study. It had focused on the IP learners in Iriga City where a large
percentage of 48,301 indigenous people of Bicol are situated in Iriga City. The said population is increasing every year but then it is
only aspect of the study, what counts more is the application of the Cultural Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) to the teaching-learning
process among the IP learners in selected schools in Iriga City. The CRP has something to do with the diversity of learners, inclusive
education and most of all the localization of learning resources but then the IP groups have their own identity, consciousness and
most of all the culture which can be subjected to discrimination, prejudice and stigma. Using an ethnographic research design with
historiography as a supplementary research design. The researcher will try to trace the cultural analysis imminent among the IP
tribes in Iriga City by focusing on the education both elementary and secondary in selected schools in the said city. There will be a
participant-observer method to be used to arrive at both ethnography and historiography research designs and in which there will
be an assessment on how the CRP be applied in the teaching-learning process.

religion, gender, racial, culture and
social discrimination still do exist
despite the support and
understanding brought about by
various government agencies, It
cannot be helped that the IPs are
considered to be minorities therefore
there is inferiority with regards to
culture and this is the reason why the
researcher wants to apply the CRP in
the learning process because it will
open doors to a better
understanding of their culture and
how they can be helped in adjusting
to the culture at present embedded
with prejudice, trends and stigmas. It
is an opportune time to motivate
them to embrace and perhaps
assimilate new culture without giving
up their traditions and practices but
rather being progressive is the
ultimate goal.

perennial problem in the past that of

the IPED programs under Deped, it can be a
vital tool to widen the understanding about
the diversities.
considered a first step towards a
better understanding of the
differences and an instrument of
bridging the gap in the future.
Second point to consider is that
education through curriculum and
instruction can be a big help in
overcoming the differences by
exercising sensitivity and
understanding. It may not be an easy
task but neither it is an impossible
one.

Title: Indigenous Peoples and the
Right to Education: The
Dumagat Experience in the
Provinces of Nueva Ecija and
Aurora, in the Philippines
The research study had discussed the plight
of the Dumagat tribes in the provinces of
Nueva Ecija and Aurora in terms of
discrimination and not having equitable
access to education. In this study, the
researchers had made use of critical
pedagogy so as to present an unbiased
analysis on what made discrimination and
inaccessibility to education two rising
problems among the tribal group and which
infringe their rights to education and to
liberty as well.
The Dumagat tribe is not the only
tribal group which experience these
problems. It is a known fact that
almost all ethnic tribes had
experienced several or more
discriminations especially where the
rights are concerned, it is always
blaming on illiteracy as one of the
factors. Because of this study, there
are further follow up studies on how
to make education be accessible to
the IP tribes that there is inclusive
education and programs are
implemented to fit the needs of the
IP learners.

Title: ARTICLE INFORMATION
Education and Ethnicity: A
Phenomenology from the Lens
of the Indigenous Peoples of
Camarines Sur
The article focuses on the cultural traits
unique among IP tribes in Camarines Sur,
Included in this is the early marriage, the
communalism, limited socialization and
nomadic lifestyle, These factors had
precipitated also the problem in education
that it is not considered a vital factor for
growth and development but rather just an
action that can be taken loosely or without
serious aims or ambitions. It is perhaps one
of the reasons that rarely can an IP graduate
from tertiary education and not succumbing
to early marriage and pregnancies. There
have been forced droputs through the years
as they see education in just a superficial
level which means they are not keen on
joining the modern world and advocating
changes along the way it is why the IPED
programs have been implemented fully to fit
their needs to delete illiteracy but rather to
embrace education and learning for a
change.
In hindsight, education among the IP
tribes is taken lightly they are not
keen on progress and change as they
find contentment in their world
despite the discrimination and
prejudices. This has been one of the
many problems of the government
so as how to protect them and at the
same time preserve their legacies.
With the ballooning population
among the IP tribes and majority of
which are illiterate, the tendency to
be conned or taken advantage of are
purely ordinary scenarios in their
lives. Majority still want to stay
sheltered inside their world where
knowledge on practical things
presupposes learning brought about
by education. Changes in their lives
and the patterns of living are
becoming barriers to embrace
progressive learning along the way.

education that we modern people
has to learn to adapt, the sense of
contentment given by nature and
that we destroy in the process. For
them the simple thinking of the
bounties of nature make them
sharpen their knowledge and add to
their learning which we find too
blase and unrefined but then
perhaps it is time to absorb their
lessons and be critical about it and
we may be surprised with the
outcome.

Title: Philippines Soldiers Accused of

A sad plight for three IPs from a Zambales
tribe of Aeta origin who were killed by
soldiers because of ancestral rights. One was
even forced to eat feces before being killed.
The abuse of the soldiers is a
violation against the constitution
wherein they have the duty to
protect the people and not kill
people who are non-threats to them
but because of a rich manipulator
who had given them orders because
of the ancestral land that needs to be
possessed led to the sacrifice of the
three Aetas which can be despicable
and inhuman but then could it still be
a surprise for a very discriminating
