Statement of the Episcopal Commission on Indigenous Peoples (ECIP)
on the Passing of Fr. Ewald โ€œAmangโ€ Dinter, SVD

The Episcopal Commission on Indigenous Peoples (ECIP) mourns the passing of Fr. Ewald โ€œAmangโ€ Dinter, SVD, who returned to his Creator at 9:07 p.m. on Friday, November 14, at UST Hospital in Manila.
Fr. Dinter was a missionary whose life was wholeheartedly devoted to the Indigenous Peoples, especially the Mangyan communities of Mindoro. He served the ECIP with exceptional dedication as Executive Secretary from 2010 to 2013, and earlier as IPA Southโ€“Central Luzon Regional Coordinator from 1993 to 2010.
A committed priest, educator, and advocate, Fr. Dinter spent decades living among the Mangyan, championing their dignity, advancing their education, and walking with them in their struggles for cultural integrity and justice. His gentle presence, deep humility, and unwavering solidarity earned him the trust, affection, and lasting gratitude of the communities he served.
ECIP honors Fr. Dinterโ€™s remarkable legacyโ€”a legacy rooted in dialogue, solidarity, respect for culture, and an authentically inculturated faith. His life and witness continue to inspire our ministry among Indigenous Peoples throughout the country.
We give thanks to God for the gift of Amang Dinterโ€™s life. May he now rest in the peace of the Creator whom he served so faithfully.

For the Episcopal Commission on Indigenous Peoples โ€“ Indigenous Peoples Apostolate,

MOST REV. VALENTIN C. DIMOC, D.D.
Chairperson

*Fr. Ewald Dinter is second from the left, with Bishop Val Dimoc, Fr. Cris , Fr. Gabby and Pren of Mangyan Mission during the Mangyan Summit, January 2024.
