BACOLOD CITY – A woman leader from an indigenous peoples community in Isabela, Negros Occidental has been recognized for her contributions to the preservation of IP rights and culture. Teresita Enario Sinceda, 68, is the first Ati woman in Western Visayas to become the IP mandatory representative in a municipal council, and is also one of the three cultural masters in the country awarded by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts this year.

Meanwhile, as the IPMR of about 10,000 IPs living in eight villages of Isabela, she said they now have a voice in the locality, where they can serve as partners for development. “We feel less discriminated because we are now better informed and empowered,” she said in an interview, after taking her oath as a member of the municipal council earlier this month.
