The existence and approval of IFMA No. R9-040 contract is being protested and is demanding for its cancellation. The primary complaint was a blatant disrespect to their rights as an Indigenous People and the non-peaceful co-existence between them and the holder of the IFMA R9-040. Accordingly, they were constantly threatened/harassed by armed men employed by the holder. In the same Memorandum, RED Mendoza recommended to the DENR Secretary the cancellation of IFMA No. R-9-040.
