JAO no. 1 s. 2012 of the DENR, LRA, DAR and NCIP requiring the
segregation of lands covered by previously issued individual titles
before the CADT is registered. Segregation, however, is not
possible because of a technical problem. The AD was surveyed

be no segregation as it dismembers the AD thereby destroying the
concept that an AD covers not only the physical but the total
environment including the spiritual and cultural bonds to the areas
the ICCs/IPs occupy and use. However, DENR, DAR and LRA
yielded to the segregation requirement.
