The bulk of the indigenous peoples who directly benefitted from the approval of the CADTs came from Mindanao where a total of 687,448 IPs comprising 55 percent of the total. Figure 7. Approved CADTs in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Issuance of CADTs. From 2002 to 2010, 156 CADTs were approved. In these eight years, an average of 19.5 CADTs were approved per year. This figure dropped drastically in the next seven years to 9.2 CADTs/year, from 2011 to 2018, when only 65 titles were approved. Reasons for decline. Several reasons can be cited for the noticeable drop Source: NCIP, 2018 in the approval of CADTs starting in 2011: One: In 2011, the NCIP initiated the drafting of the NCIP Administrative Order 4 of 2012, or the Revised Omnibus Rules on Survey and Delineation – in order to improve the efficiency of the survey and delineation process, increase safeguards against fraudulent claims and ensure the legality and acceptability of NCIP surveys. But during the review and drafting process, all CADT applications were held in abeyance.20 Two: The delayed processing of CADT applications due to the non-compliance of NCIP personnel to the regular processes and the approved Work and Financial Plans (WFP) of the CADT applications. In the COA Audit Review of NCIP performance for 2011, the COA stated, that “the process of CADT application was not in consonance with the approved WFP, this resulted in the delayed processing of CADT application which deprived the IPs of their rights provided for in Sec. 7, of the IPRA” (COA, 2011). Targets, accomplishments and delays. The approval rate of CADTs has been commendable at 80 percent of annual target over the past four years (no data was available for 2014). This may be attributed to several factors, including: increase in funding, and increased personnel skills and familiarity with the rules and processes of CADT applications. However, while the NCIP reported that it exceeded its CADT target for 2016 with a 109 percent accomplishment rate, the Interview with Commissioner C.
