  ABSTRACT: Indigenous people in the Philippines have long faced a multifaceted struggle to preserve their rich traditions. This complex issue has been rooted in the historical and ongoing dispossession of their lands and resources. However, these resilient communities came together and organized themselves to demand the respect and recognition of their rights. This study investigated their socio-cultural practices Dulangan Manobo and the impact of government initiatives. Through a descriptive correlation research design, 392 respondents from Sultan Kudarat province were surveyed. Results revealed the Manobo’s active involvement in social, economic, and political activities. Government programs supporting livelihood preservation and culture conservation were well-implemented and embraced by the community. However, the study found no significant correlation between the socio-economic and political culture of the Manobo and the effectiveness of government initiatives. These findings contribute to understanding indigenous resilience and the efficacy of intervention programs in preserving socio-cultural practices.
