CWN Editor's Note: The Philippine bishops’ Episcopal Commission on Indigenous Peoples warned that proposed legislation will harm the nation’s indigenous peoples.
“They have an IP [indigenous peoples] culture that supports the simplicity of life, a low carbon footprint, and sustainable living,” the bishops wrote in their statement, entitled “Let us dance with the indigenous peoples.”
The bishops added, “Such a culture is beneficial for our society, and we should dance with them and allow ourselves to be taught by their IP wisdom.”
