The non-registration of the MILALITTRA CADT is seen by the Talaandigs as a major problem and cause for concern in their efforts to secure full land security over their ancestral domain.

The main objections, grievance and demands of the IP communities as articulated in the SIPA are summarized as follows: ANGOC and PAFID 19
