History
In 1997, the Republic Act 8371 or Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act of 1997 created the NCIP. These two (Office for Northern Cultural Communities) and (Office for Southern Cultural Communities) were merged to form the NCIP.
The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) is an agency of the Philippine government with frontline services for the Indigenous Peoples and attached to the Office of the President. The NCIP evolved through a series of governmental reorganizations in an effort to properly address the multifarious issues and concerns confronting the country’s diverse Indigenous Cultural Communities/ Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs), and to effectively, efficiently and responsively deliver basic services to them.
The NCIP is composed of seven Commissioners, one of whom is the Chairperson. The first Chairperson was Atty. David A. Daoas, an Applai, who was the former Executive Director of the defunct ONCC. He served the NCIP for three years. After his stint, an Ifugao, Atty. Evelyn S. Dunuan, the daughter-in-law of then Commissioner Gabriel Dunuan of the CNI, was appointed in September 2001. In February 2003 to September 2005, Atty. Reuben Dasay A. Lingating, a Subanon and the son of the former Deputy Minister Fausto Lingating of the OMACC, was appointed Chairperson. From September 12, 2005 to July 19, 2007, Jannette Cansing Serrano-Reisland of B’laan and Bagobo roots was the Chairperson. From July 20, 2007 to March 24, 2010, the Chairman was Atty. Eugenio A. Insigne, a Tingguian from the Province of Abra. From February 17, 2010 to May 29, 2011, the Chairman was Atty. Roque N. Agton, Jr. , a Bagobo from Davao.
At present, the Chairperson is Atty. Leonor Oralde-Quintayo. She was appointed on July 11, 2013 and concurrently serves as the Commissioner for the Southern & Eastern Mindanao.

Ethnic groups
- Northern Philippines
These groups ranged from various Igorot tribes, a group that includes the Bontoc, Ibaloi, Ifugao, Isneg, Kalinga, Kankana-ey and Tinguian, who built the Rice Terraces. They also covered a wide spectrum in terms of their integration and acculturation with lowland Christian and Muslim Filipinos. Native groups such as the Bukidnon in Mindanao, had intermarried with lowlanders for almost a century. Other groups such as the Kalinga in Luzon have remained isolated from lowland influence.
There were several indigenous groups living in the Cordillera Central of Luzon in 1990. At one time it was employed by lowland Filipinos in a pejorative sense, but in recent years it came to be used with pride by native groups in the mountain region as a positive expression of their ethnic identity. The Ifugaos of Ifugao province, the Bontocs, Kalinga, Tinguian, the Kankana-ey and Ibaloi were all farmers who constructed the rice terraces for many centuries.
Other mountain peoples of Luzon are the Isnegs of northern Kalinga-Apayao province, the Gaddangs of the border between Kalinga-Apayao, and Isabela provinces and the Ilongots of Nueva Vizcaya province and Caraballo Mountains all developed hunting and gathering, farming cultivation and headhunting. Other indigenous people such as the Negritos formerly dominated the highlands throughout the islands for thousands of years, but have been reduced to a small population, living in widely scattered locations, primarily along the eastern ranges of the mountains.
- Southern Philippines
In the southern Philippines, upland and lowland tribal groups were concentrated on Mindanao and western Visayas, although there are several indigenous groups such as the Mangyan living in Mindoro. Among the most important groups found on Mindanao are collectively called the Lumad, and includes the Manobo, Bukidnon of Bukidnon province, Bagobo, Mandaya, Mansaka,Tagakaulo in who inhabited the mountains bordering the Davao Gulf; the Kalagan lives particularly in lowland area and seashore of Davao Del Sur, the Subanon of upland areas in Zamboanga; the Mamanua in the Agusan-Surigao border region; the B"laan, Teduray and Tboli in the region of the Cotabato province, and the Samal. Samal is synonymous with Luwa'an. Yakan is the indigenous tribe in the hinterlands of Basilan Province. In the lowland lives the Sama Banguingui tribe while in coastal areas there leave the nomadic Luwa'an. Sulu lowland areas are also home of the Sama Banguingui. The Sama or the Sinama and the Jama Mapun are the indigenous tribes in the province of Tawi-Tawi.

Repeal the NCMF(national commission on muslim filipinos) and give the budget to the NCIP
The NCIP is for all the indigenous people of the Philippines regardless of religious beliefs or ideology. The NCIP embraces all the tribes of the Philippines. On the other hand the NCMF (national commission on muslim filipinos) is only for the Muslims. Muslim is not an ethnicity. Why is the government financially supporting the Muslims? The Muslims are not indigenous people. The muslims claim that they were the original inhabitants of Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan. That is such a big fat lie. The tribal indigenous people were the original inhabitants. The muslims arrived only during the 14th century.
