ABOUT THE POET BOI /boh-eh/ BETING

“Boi” means a womxn tribal leader for one of the tribes living at the foot of Mt. Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. Boi Beting was uprooted from her roots at the age of seven and since then on, she lives a lifelong struggle to live and adapt with the mainstream community through which she earned an education and has been heavily involved in human rights related works. In her mid-thirties she returned to her own tribal communities, started the cultural regeneration movement and through legal process, lead her people for their right and protection of their ancestral domain claim. After that she served as volunteer worker for other tribes in other localities, in order to be with them in their fight for land and Indigenous rights, and facilitate food and social services to Indigenous peoples (IP) affected by armed conflicts or civil war. Their struggle today for land and self-determination is just a continuation of the centuries of struggle of their ancestors in Southern Philippines.

After 30 years of working for and with IP communities, human rights advocates and peace advocates, Boi Beting has again been uprooted under the current political turmoil in the motherland. She is working on supporting the next generation of community IP members to continue our work to protect the land, preserve their identity, and sustain peaceful communities. This next generation of IP community members, she believes, can negotiate their way effectively if, like her, they will also educate themselves with mainstream education. Both knowledge of the traditional and mainstream will help these new leaders sustain the tribe’s struggle for existence. Thus, Boi Beting calls for support to send young adult Indigenous community members to university so that they will be more equipped with skills and knowledge to empower their communities. Let’s help her do that.
