Abstract

The Philippines has a diverse set of indigenous peoples groups, Ifugao being the most prominent. However, this prominence is accompanied by a diverse range of perceptions and attitudes that others hold towards them. These perceptions and attitudes may vary depending on the factors that affect the manifestation of the said perceptions and attitudes. This study investigates the perception and attitude of Senior High School students from SMU towards Ifugao individuals, considering demographic factors such as sex, strand, ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic status. Using a descriptive-comparative design, the study reveals that most respondents hold positive perceptions and attitudes. Notably, sex, strand, and religion do not significantly influence perception, while socioeconomic status affects perception. Conversely, demographic profiles do not significantly affect attitude. The study found out that the SMU SHS students have a positive perception and attitude towards Ifugao individuals. The results imply that SHS students from SMU foster cultural sensitivity in educational setting, believes that there is an equality among Ifugao and non-Ifugao individuals in terms of capabilities and opportunities, and supports inclusivity. Further, the students show respect and appreciation towards their culture despite the social barrier between them.
