This paper looked at the indigeneity trend of the Philippine research outputs, as represented by its top four comprehensive universities, from 2012 to 2021 using the Scopus database. This paper adapted Siddiqi, et al.’s notion of indigeneity in bibliometric analysis that is defined by the domesticity of a given publication’s corresponding author and is equated with the rootedness of a given publication on the capacities and concerns of the publication’s domicile country and is further equated with such domicile country’s potential to compete against the knowledge-based powers of Euro-American countries. Using case study, the researchers looked at the Scopus data of the Philippines’ top four. All of these four CUs are located in the National Capital Region. The specific information taken from each Scopus-listed publication are the title, the author/s, the year of publication, and the affiliation/s of the corresponding author/s. Based on the affiliation/s of the corresponding author/s, the domicile country of each publication was identified. The identified domicile country of the corresponding author/s ascertained the publication’s indigeneity. With the growth of the numbers of scholars embracing indigenized research in Philippine HEIs, there is an urgent need to mentor and ensure the growth of more Filipino researchers taking leadership in international collaborative projects. In light of the new post-pandemic sustainability agenda, joint efforts are urgently required to develop and implement suitable initiatives to empower Filipino researchers and loop back their findings for policy making and developmental undertakings, to make these knowledge producers truly active agents of change.
