Cite three things that you have learned from this module
In module 2: ethnic group and minorities (Philippines), I learned about the following:

 The diversity of ethnic groups in the Philippines: The Philippines is home to a wide variety of
ethnic groups, each with its own unique language, culture, and traditions. Some of the largest
ethnic groups in the Philippines include the Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, and
Bicolano. There are also a number of smaller ethnic groups, including the indigenous peoples of
the Philippines.
 The challenges faced by ethnic minorities in the Philippines: Ethnic minorities in the
Philippines often face discrimination and marginalization. They may have less access to
education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. They may also be more likely to experience
violence and human rights abuses.
 The importance of respecting and protecting the rights of ethnic minorities: It is important to
respect and protect the rights of ethnic minorities in the Philippines. This includes respecting their
cultures and traditions, and ensuring that they have equal access to opportunities and resources.
I also learned about some of the specific ethnic groups in the Philippines, specifically the Igorot. I learned
about their cultures, traditions, and the challenges they face.
Overall, I learned that the Philippines is a diverse and vibrant country with a rich cultural heritage. It is
important to respect and protect the rights of all ethnic groups in the Philippines, regardless of their size
or location.
I believe that this module is important because it helps to raise awareness of the diversity of ethnic groups
in the Philippines and the challenges they face. It also teaches us about the importance of respecting and
protecting the rights of all ethnic groups.
