    REFLECTION PAPER
    Nowadays, we have our own beliefs or traditions that we practice in our daily
    lives. It symbolize the culture we have learned from our ancestors, parents and things
    we adapt from the environment while growing up. We never get embarrassed of what
    our culture is.

    Lumad is an indigenous ethnic group found in the southern part of the Philippines
    and some of them live in the mountainsides of Mindanao, living the traditional life. The
    word “Lumad” is a Visayan term which means “born of the earth”. Some of the ethnic
    groups are already in the Philippines, and others came from the other countries in Asia.
    Before the Philippines was established and colonized by other countries, Lumads are
    the first people who live in the Philippines and they play an important role in the
    Philippine history. Lumad is adopted by a group of 15 Mindanao ethnic groups.  They
    are non-Muslim or non-Christian groups led by what they called Datu or “Bagani”
    Warrior. They have their own beliefs and traditions which are different from the rest of
    the people in Mindanao. They believe in the spirits and gods, and they offer live animals
    like goats and chickens during ceremonies for health and protection, good harvest and
    thanksgiving.

    From what I have watched, the video served as eye-opener to all about the
    spiritual beliefs of Lumads, their tradition and culture. As Filipino citizens, we need to
    respect them because they are one of the most important people in our history as
    Filipinos as they are the first people live in Mindanao. The video also shows us the
    rituals and practices of Lumads on how the way they live.

    The culture of Lumads is truly unique and colorful because of their rituals,
    traditions and beliefs. They shows us how they value their culture, especially their
    personality. Lastly, the most important thing I have learned from the video is to respect
    other people no matter what culture and beliefs they have, for “strength lies in
    differences and not in similarities”.
