The loss of ancestral lands continues in spite of the IPRA due to the very slow implementation of the law. This is further exacerbated by the JAO as it thickens the already very sluggish bureaucratic process that has further delayed the CADT titling process. n The JAO has illegally and arbitrarily removed the powers of the NCIP under the IPRA to validate, approve, and issue CADTs to qualified indigenous communities. n The delay in CADT processing and non-registration of CADTs caused by the JAO has made ancestral domain/lands very vulnerable and facilitated the further encroachment into IP territories by: a) the DAR through the issuance of CLOAs without coordination with NCIP; b) the DENR through CBFMAs, IFMAs, FLEGT, PLAs, and by allowing entry of mining corporations, large scale plantations, and the National Greening Program; and, c) the LRA through Torrens Titles over portions of ancestral domains/lands. n The IPs demand the repeal and nullification of DAR-DENR-LRA-NCIP JAO 01 series of 2012. They further demand accountability from the government officials who have allowed the grabbing of their ancestral lands and the killings of indigenous leaders because of the JAO. n Regional Dialogue on Overlapping Land Claims (20 June 2017, Cagayan de Oro City) In a policy dialogue jointly organized by ANGOC, the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, BALAOD Mindanaw, Xavier Science Foundation, Institute of Land Governance, and PAFID through the JALR Project, issues and problems that have arisen from the implementation of the JAO were discussed. Representatives of IP communities affected by the implementation of the JAO along with other concerned CSO representatives raised the following comments, issues, and challenges: n They know very little information about the JAO, on how it is implemented, what has been done, and how it helps resolve the conflicts. n They observed that of the concerned agencies in JAO 01-2012, it seems that only the NCIP has heeded the order to hold in abeyance the processing of tenurial instruments. 20 The Joint Administrative Order No. 01 series of 2012: A Policy Review
