    The documentary features three films about indigenous groups in the Philippines struggling for education. Indigenous peoples like the Lumad, Matigsalug, and Tausug commonly live isolated from mainstream society in remote tribal communities. While isolated, they are aware of their struggles against the dominant society and view education as the best way to assert their rights and protect their people. However, factors like poverty, marginalization, and militarization make attaining education difficult. The films show indigenous people risking dangerous journeys to reach schools and learn, believing it can change their lives. The document argues the government must not only provide education but also livelihood options, healthcare, and other programs for indigenous communities while respecting their culture.

    The Indigenous and Education


    Lumad: Ipagtanggol ang Lupang Ninuno, Tulay, and Matigsalug are three documentaries
    featuring indigenous peoples struggle for education. Indigenous People, like Lumad,
    Matigsalug, and Tausug, are commonly found isolated from the dominant society. They live in
    tribes, residing in remote areas wherein they are, most of the time, out of the governments reach.
    But this does not restrain their determination to acquire literacy.
    The IPs may be isolated but they are not ignorant of their own struggles against the
    dominant society. This is why they are truly convicted to be educated, in belief that education is
    the best way to assert their rights, protect their people and at the same time, voice out the role
    and identity of the IP communities to the national government. However, there are factors like
    poverty, marginalization, and militarization that keep them from attaining their right of
    education. In the film Lumad, they find education as a way to fight for their lands, against those
    who threaten to destroy their sanctuaries with ways to profit from their resources and protect
    themselves from being harassed by the militarization in their area. In Tulay, the Matigsalug
    cannot afford to study in cities so they requested a nearby school, yet, many cannot accomplish
    their education properly because they have to stop to work and help their families for living. In
    Tawid Eskwela, because its slower for the governments services to reach the people in Sitio
    Sicolan, they have to sacrifice what they have to be the one to resort instead.
    But still, they cross dangerous bridges, the sea and mountains to learn. In the film Tulay,
    an elder who was never schooled but strongly insists on sending the children to school believes
    that schooling is a way to change the course of their life. I saw the determination of these
    people to be recognized and I hope and demand for the government not to forget those that are
    shadowed by the mainstream society. Everything the government does affect the Indigenous
    people and so they must let them have their own say. Give them the opportunities, not only of
    education but of livelihood options, access to health service and other government programs. The
    government must not just see the progress of the Philippines without acknowledging the
    Indigenous people whose culture and ways of life must be respected, protected, and whose needs
    must be met.
