📢 𝗨𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗨𝗠: Indigenous Peoples and Nation Building: Lessons in Leadership, Sustainability, and Peace

Across the country, Indigenous communities continue to safeguard ancestral domains, nurture sustainable livelihoods, and uphold peace traditions that have endured for generations. What can policymakers, scholars, and development practitioners learn from these lived experiences?

This forum brings together research insights and community narratives—ranging from governance of protected areas and Indigenous-led enterprises to cultural identity, resilience, and traditional conflict resolution. Together, these perspectives highlight how Indigenous knowledge systems contribute meaningfully to sustainability, inclusive development, and long-term peace.

The 12th Knowledge-Sharing Forum is spearheaded by the Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippine Institute For Development Studies (PIDS), in partnership with Bukidnon State University (BukSU) and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Official).

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐀 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊!!

[ICYMI] It was a productive week for the RIHSD Director and Center Chiefs, who facilitated and attended exploratory meetings for potential research collaborations with various agencies, both locally and internationally. A reflection of never-ending and never-tiring commitment of our Institute to produce research that matters.

On 09 February 2026, the RIHSD facilitated an exploratory meeting with Naparat Kranrattanasuit of Mahidol University via Zoom. The meeting was hosted by Chief John Amiel Rivera (RIHSD-CPJIGS), Chief Celso Tan Jr. (RIHSD-CEBS), and Chief Werllie P. Bueno (RIHSD-CSSES). The meeting aimed to explore collaboration in research and extension programs between the two (2) universities.

On 10 February 2026, Chief Werllie P. Bueno, Chief Chloe Nicole D. Piamonte (RIHSD-CSIS), and Chief Diosdado P. Franco (RIHSD-CCDS) attended the Research Consortium on Children’s Rights regular meeting conducted by the Council for the Welfare of Children in Quezon City. The PUP-RIHSD is a member of the consortium and continues to be part in advancing research-based policy on children’s rights.

Also on 10 February 2026, the RIHSD-CPJIGS, led by Chief John Amiel Rivera, facilitated a coordination meeting with faculty researchers for the 2026 policy reviews. This initiative strengthens the Center’s mandate to review and assess university policies aimed at building a more inclusive and sustainable community.

On 12 February 2026, an exploratory meeting with the Department of Migrant Workers was held. It was attended by Chief John Amiel Rivera, Chief Celso Tan Jr., Chief Mandy Felicia (RIHSD-CLIRS), and Chief Werllie P. Bueno, as well as Ms. Maui Oreiro and Mr. Mark Espina of the DMW-Institute for Advanced and Strategic Studies on Migration and Development (IASSMD). The meeting explored possible research and extension collaborations between the two agencies.

From collaboration talks with a Thai university to discussions with the Department of Migrant Workers, these consecutive meetings reflect RIHSD’s strengthened commitment for 2026 to produce research that matters, guided by Sintang Paaralan’s principle 𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑎 𝑆𝑎 ’𝑌𝑜, 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑎 𝑠𝑎 𝐵𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑛.
