Why is the Philippine Government was not able to protect and assert the rights of the Tribal Peoples in the ARMM in the Peace Negotiation on the basis of the International Declaration that it ratified, notably the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and its Fundamental Law, the 1987 Philippine Constitution, implemented by the IPRA? Is it because this administration would not gain anything if it asserted and protected our rights? WE ARE DISTINCT PEOPLE AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION. THE ELEMENTS OF THE STATE IS PRESENT WITH US (TERRITORY, PEOPLE, LANGUAGE, LAWS AND SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE), ALTHOUGH, WE DONT HAVE THE INTENTION TO BUILD STATE, BUT JUST THE RECOGNITION OF OUR RIGHTS AND DISTINCTNESS WITHIN ANY STATE STRUCTURE.
