We have Formal recognition of more than 5,000ha has been issued with titles for the
Ancestral Domain. We are always asked by the Congress [during the budget
hearing]… “kung kailan matatapos ito?” Ang sabi namin “kung sasabihin ng mga IPs
na tapos na.”
If we see the first ethnographic graph of the Phil is in Mindanao and Luzon by Dr.
Ferdinand Blumentritt – [was never in the Philippines by the way]. It says that the
major portions in Luzon and Mindanao are mainly Ancestral Domain by the
Indigenous Peoples. Pero wala na ito ang naiwan na lang ay ang recognized
ancestral domain [see the Philippine Map with red colors]. May mga CADT-ables pa
na hindi pa natatapos.
