Welcome to Earth Tribe Council Philippines.

The Earth Tribe Council vision was conceived in 2002 in the Philippines with the dream of communities coexisting in solidarity for a sustainable planet. At present, ETC revives its thrust with the present environmental conditions that affect man and man’s inward shift upon a changing world. Earth Tribe Council particularly promotes convergence and synergy in a world culture of diverse color and traditions, believing that we are all capable and accountable in the preservation of life and heritage which embody our natural world.

The Earth Tribe Council vision believes in the illumination brought about by awareness, synergy and collaborative efforts which allows the revelation and expression of Knowledge, Purpose, Accountability, CoCreation, Solidarity, Empathy, Sustainability, and Non-violence.

Its quadrant signifies the four key areas of work, namely: Culture, Environment, Peace Practice and Self-empowerment.

ETC was primarily formed by the voluntary efforts of individuals working in the fields of media, research, photography, film, the academe, among others. However recognizing traditional media, ETC aims to explore existing avenues where voice and message may be relayed in unique form, including dance, music and the visual arts. The ETC likewise encourages and values youth participation in the effort to give voice to the young generation which rightfully seeks expression in cultural solidarity.
