The Philippine government succeeded in establishing a number of protected for tribal groups.


Indigenous people were expected to speak their native language, dress in their traditional tribal clothing, live in houses constructed of natural materials 


They are using traditional architectural designs and celebrate their traditional ceremonies of propitiation of spirits believed to be inhabiting their environment.


They are also encouraged to re-establish their traditional authority structure in which, as in indigenous society were governed by chieftains known as Rajah and Datu.
