Decision 34 G.R. No. 224469 At the other end of the spectrum, tliere ~is the IP title itself. 80 IP title confers more than the right to engage in site-specific activities which are aspects of the practices, customs, and traditions of distinctive IP cultures. 81 IP site-specific rights can be made out even if IP title cannot; what IP title confers is the right to the land itself. 82 iii. IP right to preserve cultural integrity as a free-standing right independent of IP claim or title to ancestral domains or lands An IP right to preserve cultural integrity is manifested through an activity that is an element of a practice, custom, or tradition that is integral to the distinctive culture of the IPs claiming the right. This requires establishing the existence of the ancestral practice, custom, or tradition advanced as supporting the claimed right; cQnfirming that the ancestral practices, customs, or traditions were integral to the distinctive culture of the claimant's pre-contact in Philippine society, i.e., prior to contact with colonizers and non-IP Filipinos, or subsequent thereto, to the survival of the distinctive culture of the claimant's ICC in Philippine society; and proving that reasonable continuity exists between the pre-contact practice, or postcontact practice for the claimant's ICC's survival, and the contemporary claim. An IP right to preserve cultural integrity entitles the right holder to perform the practice or custom or tradition in its present form. This means that the same sort of activity is carried on in the modern economy by modern means. To illustrate, the right to harvest wood for the construction of temporary shelters must be allowed to evolve into a right to harvest wood by modern means to be used in the construction of modern dwellin,:s. Here, petitioners strongly claim that their IP right to preserve cultural integrity entitled them to log the dita tree for building the communal toilet as a lawful exercise and manifestation of this IP right. As shown, this claim did not just come from thin air but from the bundle of their real constitutional and statutory right to cultural heritage. iv.
