Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 3rd edition (2006) Internal monitoring will be done by ESSO, which will also be called the Internal Monitoring Agent (IMA), while external monitoring will be carried out by an External Monitoring Agent (EMA) to be hired by DPWH. Reports of the IMA and EMA will be made available to the ROs and/or the DEOs and to all concerned parties, including the PAPs. B. Indigenous Peoples 1. Inside Ancestral Domains The process of consultation for IPs inside ancestral domains begins with a consultation with the Provincial Consultative Bodies (PCB) to present the project concept and map and to determine if the project would affect ancestral domains and IPs, the presence of IPs in the area, or the existence of collective attachment of IPs to the area affected. If consultation with the Provincial Consultative Bodies show that an FBI is necessary, the process set forth in Part IV of NCIP Administrative Order No. 1 series of 2006 for the conduct of the FBI shall be followed unless the DPWH enters into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the NCIP, in which case the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding shall be followed. If the FBI found that an ancestral domain will be affected, the DPWH RO with the NCIP will consult the Ancestral Domain’s Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP), if available, to determine a fit exists between the road project and the listing of priority development projects in the ADSDPP. If a fit were found to exist, the DPWH RO with the assistance of ESSO should hold public consultations to explore and obtain the affected IP community’s voluntary solicitation or endorsement of the project. The project proponent will provide documentation that the projects have indeed been voluntarily and initiated or solicited by Indigenous Peoples. A representative of the NCIP should be invited and be present to witness that the consultation was indeed free from coercion or manipulation, gender and inter-generationally inclusive, and conducted with proper disclosure of information and in a manner appropriate to the social and cultural values of the affected IP communities and their condition. Voluntarily initiation and solicitation is subject to validation by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples in conformity to IPRA and NCIP Administrative Order No. 1 or the Free and Prior, Informed Consent Guidelines of 2006. If the ancestral domain has no ADSDPP, the DPWH RO, the NCIP, and ESSO will hold public consultations to explore and obtain the affected IP community’s voluntary solicitation or endorsement of the project. Requirements for documentation, the manner of consultation, and validation stated in the previous paragraph will apply.
