DAVAO CITY<\/strong> \u2014 President Rodrigo Duterte will release P100 million to tribal communities in Mindanao for livelihood program and agricultural development as well as to counter the influence of communist insurgents.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the leaders of tribal communities in Davao City on Thursday, February 1, President Duterte vowed to facilitate the entry of investors and government assistance to tribal areas for them to develop and secure sustainable livelihood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMag-release ako ng 100 million, temporary, pangtawid ninyo sa normalcy. \u2018Yun ang gamitin ninyo,<\/em>\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to learn something, a skill to help your family,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also underscored the importance of education to lift Lumad communities from dire poverty promising to provide free education to bright and talented young indigenous people.<\/p>\n

The President also expressed his government\u2019s willingness to fund the education of brilliant young tribe members by sending them to top universities in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will send your children to any good school, or if you\u2019re in Manila and you want to send them to San Beda, Ateneo, La Salle, you may enroll them there and the government will pay for the tuition fee,\u201d he said in the vernacular.<\/p>\n

To fend off the influence of communist insurgents in Lumad areas, Duterte announced that his government would recruit qualified tribe people to become members of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

Tribe members could also opt to join government militia to fight communist rebels, he said.<\/p>\n

President Duterte added that he would personally protect the ancestral domains in the country under his administration and choose investors to develop the areas.<\/p>\n

President Duterte addressed around 1,100 indigenous peoples (IP) leaders during the summit held in Panacan, Davao City.<\/p>\n

The IP Leaders\u2019 Summit is a two-day event which aims to provide the IPs with an avenue to air their concerns with the national government agencies. It has drawn IP and Lumad leaders from Eastern Mindanao.<\/p>\n

In a manifesto issued during the summit, the tribal leaders have thrown their support to the Duterte administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly express our continued support to President Rodrigo Duterte, whom we believe will help us shape and achieve our destiny as United Indigenous Peoples Mindanao in our respective ancestral domains,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAffirming our customary laws, cultures and traditions passed by our ancestors deeply rooted in our indigenous cultural communities as the basis on our continued existence, struggle and fight for self-determination, we further express our commitment and support to your peace and development program as embodied in your 10-point agenda,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

Attendees of the summit were customary leaders, elders and representatives of IPs from Mindanao comprising Regions 10, 11, 12 and 13.<\/p>\n
