Philippines. It covers in the dialogue of their world views, oral tradition/narratives, topography of their
earliest settlements, indigenous religious ceremonies and rituals, socio-cultural change and drivers of
cultural transition. The ethnographic method was used. Free, Prior and Informed consent was secured in the
Manobo communities. Among the most potent drivers of cultural transitions of the Manobo’s were the
introduction of tertiary education in the heart of the Manobolandia (Manoboland) in Carromata San
Miguel Surigao del Sur which provided quality and affordable higher education to the Manobo’s, the
opening of lumber and mining companies in the sites, the passage of the Philippine Indigenous Peoples
