from ancestral domains or just indicated in a CADT survey plan. IP communities are being denied even the right to know what titled lands or government reservations or permits might be overlapping with their ancestral domains/lands. The JAO since 2012 has not fulfilled this main objective. IP groups consistently complain that the production of Map Projections has not been forthcoming. n “RESERVED OR INTENDED FOR THE COMMON AND PUBLIC WELFARE AND SERVICES” Government Reservations: IPRA Section 7(g) stipulates that IPs have the right to claim parts of lands set aside for specific purposes, i.e. reservations, but makes an exception of excluding areas “reserved or intended for the common and public welfare and services.” The JAO broadly defines government reservations as being in their entirety all for the common and public welfare and services --JAO Section 3(h). It therefore mandates the total exclusion/segregation of these reservations from AD. This is illegal. The JAO cannot contradict the law: which allows IPs to claim parts of reservations. The JAO could provide guidelines to determine what portions of reservations are for the common and public welfare and services to be excluded from CADTs and which are not. Nevertheless, to exclude them all is overriding a main clause of the IPRA law. n There is denial of other IPRA Rights over ancestral domain which are not contained in Torrens Titles. The JAO completely overlooks these, therefore denying IP groups of their rights to jurisdiction and control over ADs/ALs which are not granted in titled properties: namely rights to and authority over the following: a) natural resources; b) determination of land-use [zoning under ADSDPPs]; c) responsibility for the protection of the environment; and, d) control of migrants and other outsiders (NGOs) into the CADT/CALT area. n Normally the authority to determine these lie with the DENR and Local Government Units. A holder of titled property does not have ownership or control over natural resources, nor authority to determine landuse/zoning, responsibility of environmental protection, and control of migrants. IPRA transfers this authority from LGUs and the DENR to the IP group with a CADT. The JAO denies the IP group this authority by completely excluding them from the ancestral domain. For example, a pocket of some 100 hectares of privately titled lands within a CADT is clearly owned and cultivated by the titleholders. However according to IPRA, the IP group has rights over the minerals therein or to determining ANGOC and PAFID 23
