The Institute of Philippine Culture is a social science research organization of the School of Social Sciences of the Ateneo de Manila University.

The INSTITUTE OF PHILIPPINE CULTURE is a social science research organization of the School of Social Sciences of the Loyola Schools, Ateneo de Manila University. Founded in 1960, the IPC seeks a better understanding of culture and society in the Philippines and other Asian countries, an improved quality of life for disadvantaged groups, and a more peaceful, just, and equitable national and global society. To realize its vision, the IPC has set the following goals:

1. Make significant contributions through scholarly and action research to knowledge generation and theory building on Philippine society and culture, locating these within comparable expressions in the Asian region;
Enhance the capabilities of development agencies in civil society, government, and business through knowledge-based training programs;

2. Develop partnerships with nongovernment organizations, people’s organizations, and communities engaged in participatory research, action, and advocacy; and

3. Play a significant part in the attainment of the mission and goals of the Ateneo de Manila University.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI BUKAS PARA PAG-USAPAN ANG KAHALAGAHAN AT PRAKTIKA NG ENGAGED ANTHROPOLOGY.

Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 27 November 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Anthropology as a discipline focuses on how people live, make meaning, and survive across different histories and ecologies. But when those conditions are undermined, work in the discipline moves from observation to engagement. This post-conference episode brings practitioners to reflect on why an ‘engaged’ form of anthropology matters now, and how it is done with care, reciprocity, and accountability. Rather than surveying broad themes, this episode aims to discuss how the discipline can concretely move its work beyond extractive research and towards doing anthropology with, not on communities and encourage other practitioners to do the same. The conversation aims to surface lived examples and distilled reflections from the 47th UGAT Conference.

Joining us on this episode are Doms Cordero, Dr. Karminn C.D. Daytec Yañgot, and Asst. Prof. Amiel Jay P. Lopez. This episode is hosted by Rian Mitchell Piamonte.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI NGAYONG HUWEBES PARA PAG-USAPAN ANG TRAFFIC NA MADALAS NATING MARANASAN LALO NA KAPAG BER MONTHS.

Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 13 November 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

During the '-ber' months, metropolitan areas in the Philippines anticipate increased traffic congestion as mall operating hours are extended, road construction is temporarily halted, and the volume of vehicles rises. In light of this continuous and pervasive problem, this episode asks these questions: Must the annual gridlock be our fate? Can smarter systems and tools create breathing room, especially for the most vulnerable commuters? This episode aims to explain the holiday surge and year-round congestion, discuss who are the most vulnerable in this surge, explore how can digitization help reduce uncertainty brought about by the surge, and advocate for a long-term solution to this gridlock.

Joining us on this episode are Assoc. Prof. Marie Danielle Guillen and Joshua Bumanlag. This episode is hosted by Rian Mitchell Piamonte.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI NGAYONG HAPON PARA PAG-USAPAN ANG KONSEPTO NG GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE SA LENTE NG KARANASAN NG MGA TRANS PINAY.

Join us on "Baka Naman Pwede?" on 6 November 2025 (Thursday) from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Gender-affirming healthcare is increasingly recognized worldwide as essential to the wellbeing of transgender and gender-diverse people. In the Philippines, however, access remains fragmented and marked by stigma. This episode takes a closer look at what gender-affirming care actually involves across medical, psychological, and social dimensions, while foregrounding the lived experiences of trans Filipinas throughout their transition journeys. This episode aims to feature first-person stories of navigating clinics, managing its cost, and the pressures to self-medicate. Finally, it aims to ask what concrete steps communities, and allies can take so that access to gender-affirming care becomes a real part of healthcare for every Filipino.

Joining us on this episode is Ms. Kylie Soberano. This episode is hosted by Dwayne Denzel Hipolito.

The Institute of Philippine Culture (IPC), Political Psychology of Democratization Laboratory and Sigla Research Center invite you to a TALAB session titled "𝐁𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬".

Come and join us on 14 October 2025 (Tuesday) from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Case Study Room, Social Sciences Building.

This interdisciplinary panel brings together academics, researchers, and journalists to engage the question, "Who is disenfranchised by the spread of disinformation in Philippine society?" This activity considers a range of evidence that showcases how disinformation is not just a question of true and false, but also a question of inclusion and exclusion: for our communities, our institutions, and our democracy.

The episode seeks to clarify the direction of the cooperative sector in the coming years, raise awareness of the government’s development initiatives, and highlight how cooperation, capacity building, and shared prosperity can support local communities.

Joining us on this episode are Dr. Hilda F. San Gabriel from PUP Department of Cooperatives and Social Development and Ms. Lucy Furo from the National Cooperative Development Council. This episode is hosted by John Paolo C. Dalupang from the Institute of Philippine Culture.

Abstract
American military historians have portrayed the US Army generals and military governors who fought in and ruled the Moro Province in the early American colonial era as savvy colonial counterinsurgents and administrators.

And yet men like Leonard Wood, John Pershing, and Robert Bullard almost always depended on Moro labor and labor brokers, such as Datu Piang and Amai Manabilang, to carry out military and civil efforts in Mindanao. Labor relations between the US military and Moros in guiding, porterage, and road building, among other tasks, generated an imperial politics of sovereignty which pervaded American colonialism at large, and exposed the limits of US power in the Philippines.
