By: Gualberto B. Lumauig Philippine Daily Inquirer 1:18 am | Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012 Having descended from an indigenous race, I am often asked, "How did you do it, carve a career that saw you hobnobbing with the high and the mighty?"

Assumption Mission (CMIP) is committed to support indigenous people's initiative for self-determination and empowerment. It was in February of 1958 when a nine-man delegation of American Passionist missionaries arrived in this southern part of the Philippines.

Responding then to the latter's plea "to come and help our people" these Passionist pioneers, pretty soon, chose IP ministry as one of their treasured apostolates. Presently, the Filipino Passionists continue to carry on what the original missionaries had begun. And the scope of this apostolate has even expanded quite significantly through the years - from the original two IP communities in the early 1960's to the more than fifty (50) mission communities scattered all over the mountains of South Cotabato and Sarangani provinces.
