Today, modernization is moving at an extremely fast pace, both socially and economically, which is accelerating change and infuencing signifcantly the remaining indigenous groups of the archipelago.
Project Katutubong Pilipino is a long-term documentary project showcasing the beauty and depth of Philippine indigenous cultures and highlighting the many environmental and social issues these groups are currently facing.
Who We Are / Mission
Spearheaded by documentary photographer Jacob Maentz, Project Katutubong Pilipino aims to create compelling and comprehensive photo documentaries about the many indigenous groups still present throughout the Philippine Archipelago. The project has been made possible by the kind support of individual donors and organizations.
