Empower the indigenous peoples of the Philippines. Protect their ancestral lands. Protect their stewardships. The DENR has the responsibility to protect not the natural resources of the Philippines, it also must protect the history and heritage of the indigenous people. Religions do not need protection. Religions must not be financed by the government. The indigenous people needs all the help that it can get.
