The JAO has forced the IPs to incur additional expenses in followingup the status of their CADTs. Moreover, it has caused tremendous delay in the processing of their AD/AL claims. n The prescribed step of “projection” of the CADTs’ survey plans over the maps of the DENR and DAR has taken years way beyond what is stated by the JAO. This delay has allowed other interested parties to encroach on their lands. n The slow processing and approval of CADTs and non-registration of approved CADTs have caused confusion and have weakened their capacity to effectively govern and protect their ancestral domains. n Effects of JAO 01 to Indigenous Communities The purpose of JAO was to facilitate and coordinate the process of registration of the ancestral domain/lsand titles issued by NCIP with the other titling agencies: DENR-LMB, DAR, and DOJ-LRA to avoid overlap of titles under the registration regime and comply with IPRA section 56: to respect prior, existing rights within ancestral domains. The main concern was for the preparation of the Map Projection to identify titled lands, which might overlap with CADT/CALTs. An appreciation of the case of the Talaandigs of Bukidnon and the critique and complaints coming from the SIPA, and the Northern Mindanao dialogue clearly show that the JAO has not been faithful to its mandate and has not resolved land issues and may have even contributed to further land insecurity among affected IP communities. The effect of the JAO has been injurious to the rights of IP groups. The JAO has created a regime, which frustrates the registration of CADT/CALTs with the local Registry of Deeds rather than facilitating it. It is worthy to note that since the approval of the JAO in January 2012; nearly six years ago, very few and almost no CADT/ CALTs throughout the country have been registered under it. The JAO has resulted into further marginalization of the IPOs. The IPOs still are struggling to come up with strategies to resolve these agencyjurisdiction contested areas, realize the registration of their CADTs/CALTs, and finally have their CADTs/CALTs awarded. In the case of the MILALITTRA of Bukidnon, they have not been able to fully implement their ADSDPP because they have to devote more time and resources in following-up ANGOC and PAFID 21
