3. While the number of CADT claims, which includes ancestral waters in Northern Palawan, has increased,
there has been no commensurate effort to facilitate local dialogue among the various stakeholders
(LGU, ICCs, fisherfolk, private sector, etc.). The need to undertake formal discussions and dialogue
among the various stakeholders of the aquatic resources in Northern Palawan is very urgent.
4. The level of understanding and appreciation of the nature of the “Teeb and Surublien” or ancestral
waters with the greater public and among the stakeholders in Northern Palawan is still very limited.
This has led to many false and negative perceptions that further create enmity against the Tagbanwa
communities. For instance, many perceive that areas of the ocean that fall within ancestral waters
will no longer be accessible to the public and will be exclusively for the Tagbanwa. Unfortunately, the
positive values of traditional resource management of the ocean as well as the inclusive nature and
concepts of resource stewardship of the Tagbanwa have not been properly explained to the public
(see Table 3).
