This study investigates the relationship between sectarian beliefs, sociopolitical factors, and violence against indigenous people in Davao City. Utilizing a quantitative, non-experimental design with correlation analysis, the research focuses on measuring the prevalence of violence and evaluating significant relationships within the indigenous population of selected barangay in Davao City. Respondents were selected through non-stratified sampling, and data were collected via survey questionnaires. The levels of perceived sectarian belief, sociopolitical factors and violence against indigenous people are high. The findings indicate a significant relationship between sectarian beliefs, sociopolitical factors, and the emergence of violence in the community. These results highlight the crucial role of sociopolitical issues and sectarian beliefs in shaping conflict. To reduce violence and promote peace, the study recommends collaborative efforts among religious institutions, the Philippine National Police, local government units, and educational agencies. Culturally sensitive strategies, such as peacebuilding, capacity-building, and educational initiatives, are essential for fostering social cohesion, reconciliation, and community empowerment.
