On this International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples 2025, Yakap sa Mamamayan or Yaman Advocacy Cooperative extends its heartfelt congratulations to Indigenous communities across the globe, especially in the Philippines.
Today, we celebrate your enduring cultures, profound wisdom, and the rich contributions you have made — and continue to make — to humanity, the environment, and our shared future. Your resilience, traditions, and voices are not only a vital part of history but a powerful force shaping a more just and sustainable world.
May this day inspire greater recognition, inclusion, and action toward the rights, dignity, and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples everywhere.
Together, let us honor the past, stand in solidarity in the present, and walk forward toward a future built on respect, equity, and mutual understanding.
Congratulations and may the spirit of cooperation be with you all on this important occasion!
For and in behalf of Yaman Advocacy Cooperative
Lloyd Luna
