    • Abstract:
      The potential contribution of Indigenous philosophy to global sustainability remains largely unrealized. A significant part of the challenge is the need to actualize the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples within the jurisdictions of specific countries. The Philippines represents countries where Indigeneity is defined more by community of residence and traditional livelihoods, rather than heritage alone. Although Indigenous rights have been recognized in Philippine law, approaches to poverty mitigation and tribal development that support global sustainability may best be advanced through implementation of the catalyst role by Non-Government Organizations as demonstrated for a project with the Egongot Tribe of Aurora Province.

    • Abstract:
      La contribución potencial de la filosofía indígena a la sostenibilidad mundial permanece en gran parte no realizada. Una parte importante del desafío es la necesidad de actualizar la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas dentro de la jurisdicción de países específicos. Filipinas representa un país donde la indigeneidad se define más por la comunidad de residencia y sustento tradicional, que por sólo la herencia. Aunque los derechos indígenas han sido reconocidos en la ley filipina, las propuestas de mitigación de la pobreza y el desarrollo tribal que respaldan la sostenibilidad mundial, deben fomentarse mediante la implementación de un papel catalizador por medio de Organizaciones No Gubernamentales como lo demuestra un proyecto con la Tribu Ilongote de la Provincia de Aurora.
