While acknowledging the potential contributions of small-scale mining to the attainment of national sustainable development goals, implementing the law has been beset with policy overlaps, confusion among stakeholders, compliance and enforceability issues, and lack of capacities of regulators and agencies expected to provide the necessary support infrastructures.

  • Communal Land Management in the Cordillera Region of the Philippines
    Chapter 2 Communal Land Management in the Cordillera Region of the Philippines Lorelei Crisologo-Mendoza June Prill-Brett ndigenous land tenure systems define practices of access, use, and control over resources by individuals, clans, and communities. These Ipractices among indigenous cultural communities are circumscribed and modified by varying economic and political transformations as well as national land laws within a diversity of historical and social conditions. This chapter examines the issues of indigenous land tenure systems and communal land management, in particular, among Cordillera communi- ties of Northern Luzon, Philippines.2 The discussion covers three aspects: (i) national land policies and laws affecting the land rights of indigenous peoples in the Philippines, (ii) the character of communal land ownership in different land-use systems and the forms of access to and control over land by landholding households, and (iii) the prospects for communal land 2 Primary data used in this discussion were collected through a research program on ancestral domain and natural resource management conducted from 1997 to 2002, a household survey in 1994, and field work periodically undertaken since the 1970s. The authors wish to acknowledge the support of the Inter- national Development and Research Center of Canada, which funded the first author’s household survey in 1994. The Canadian center also supported the Cordillera Studies Center of the University of the Philippines Baguio in con- ducting the research program on ancestral domain and natural resource man- agement in Sagada, Mountain Province, from 1997 to 2002, in which both authors participated. They wish to acknowledge the contribution of the mem- bers of the research team: Gladys Cruz, Victoria Diaz, Ben Tapang, Arellano Colongon Jr., Ma.

Mayette left Sorsogon for Manila when she was 19 and worked as a household helper in Marikina, until she got married fi ve years later. Her husband is a construction worker from Hinigaran, Negros Occidental in the Visayas region. Th e couple settled in Payatas1, a garbage dump in Quezon City, aft er they were married. Her husband’s friends at work encouraged them to live in Payatas. Th ey informed him that in Payatas, they do not have to pay rent for a house. So the couple built a makeshift house from corrugated sheets, cardboards, tarpaulin, and plastic sheets. Th ey were glad that a benevolent woman allowed them to stay in her lot for free. In 2001, they were informed that the area they were staying in Payatas will be used for the cemetery expansion, so they went back to her husband’s hometown in Hinigaran, Negros Occidental and worked in a fi recrackers factory. But the business was good only during the Christmas and New Year periods. For the rest of the year, they did not have work and hence, no income.

Davon werden hier fünf neue Arten beschrieben: R baldensis sp. n., R banahawmontis sp. n., R. amoyanensis sp. n., R. pilifera sp. n., und R. cordilliera sp. n. Die Genitalapparate der Männchen und die Imagines von vier Arten werden abgebil­ det. Die Arten verteilen sich auf die castanea-Gruppe und die neu aufgestellte spinosellata-Gruppc. Zwei Punktkarten zeigen die Verbreitung der Gruppen auf den Philippinen. Die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse werden in drei Kladogrammen dargestellt, die auf der Analyse genitalmorphologischer Merkmale beruhen. Die Arten der castanea-Gruppe sind über Borneo auf die Philippinen eingewandert. Die spinosellata-Gruppe ist endemisch auf den Philippinen. Ihre Arten werden als Reliktendemiten angesehen, da die nächsten Verwandten in Ostasien und Japan vorkommen, und die Artengruppe ansonsten in ganz Südostasien fehlt. Die möglichen Ausbreitungsmechanismen werden kurz diskutiert. Summary Nine species of the genus Rhyacophila occur on the Philippines.
