Contested Domains: the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (Ipra) and Legal Pluralism in the Northern Philippines1
CONTESTED DOMAINS: THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS ACT (IPRA) AND LEGAL PLURALISM IN THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES1 June Prill-Brett Introduction The increasing international concerns for sustainable use of natural resources has led to a reappraisal of local peoples’ environmental knowledge and resource management skills. In the Philippines the alarming rate of forest degradation and unsustainable resource management under the centralist state control has largely influenced the granting of state recognition, and implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA, otherwise known as Republic Act No. 8371 of 1997), governing ancestral lands and ancestral domains. The state recognition of indigenous people’s rights to their ancestral lands and domains has been increasingly linked to a policy of ecological conservation and the protection of biodiversity (see F. and K. von Benda-Beckmann 1999; Prill-Brett 2000). In comparison with neighboring countries the Philippines is relatively advanced in recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples (IPs) to their ancestral lands and domains (Aquino 2004: 116). The issuance of the Certificates of Ancestral Domain Claims (CADCs) gives IPs collective rights to a specifically delineated geographic 1 This is a revised version of a paper presented at the 7th International Philippine Studies Conference held in June 2004, Leiden, The Netherlands. © Copyright 2007 – June Prill-Brett - 11 - JOURNAL OF LEGAL PLURALISM 2007 – nr. 55 ____________________________________________________________________ space. The overall and long-term goal of the policy was based on the assumption that people, when they are given the right of tenure to the land, will be more committed and concerned for its protection and conservation (Gibbs et al. 1993; Poffenberger and McGean 1993).

Land and Cultural Survival: the Communal Rights of Indigenous
Land and Cultural Survival: The Communal Land Rights Land and Cultural Survival: of Indigenous Peoples in Asia Development in Asia faces a crucial issue: the right of indigenous peoples to build a better life while protecting their ancestral lands and cultural identity. An intimate relationship with land expressed in communal ownership has shaped and sustained these cultures over time. But now, public and private enterprises encroach upon indigenous peoples’ traditional domains, extracting minerals and timber, and building dams and roads. Displaced in the name of progress, indigenous peoples find their identities diminished, their livelihoods gone. Using case studies from Cambodia, India, Malaysia, and the Asia The Communal Land Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Philippines, nine experts examine vulnerabilities and opportunities of indigenous peoples. Debunking the notion of tradition as an obstacle to modernization, they find that those who keep control of their communal lands are the ones most able to adapt. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member Land and Cultural Survival countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

(SAR) Time Series Data in the Mount Pulag National Park: a Key Biodiversity Area in Luzon, Philippines

Daipan* Department of Forest Biological Sciences College of Forestry, Benguet State University La Trinidad, Benguet 2601 Philippines Forest cover disturbances continue to occur at a very alarming rate, which greatly contributes to the loss of biodiversity resources. Therefore, an approach to detect and measure historical deforestation would be of utmost importance – particularly in the near real-time forest monitoring and management, biodiversity conservation, and estimation of carbon emissions. This study introduced a simple approach using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) time-series data, primarily the C-band Sentinel-1A (S1A) VH-polarization with a 10-m resolution, in detecting forest cover disturbances from 2016–2019 in Mount Pulag National Park (MPNP), a protected area (PA) within the island of Luzon and a priority biodiversity conservation area. The process involved using codes in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to produce a forest cover disturbance map; a grid-based geospatial and statistical analysis using the geographic information system; and data validation, and determination of possible causes of disturbances using Google Earth Pro (GEP). The results derived from Sentinel-1 data were also compared to existing optical data, which is a Landsat-based generated disturbance map. The output of this paper revealed that a total of 577 forest disturbances, with an equivalent area of 154.58 ha, were detected from a three-year period.

Mt. Pulag National Park
NATIONAL INTEGRATED PROTECTED AREAS PROGRAMME NIPAP A special project of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources supported with a grant from the European Commission (B7-504 I/93/20) MT. PULAG NATIONAL PARK GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN VOLUME I DESCRIPTION, ANALYSIS AND PRESCRIPTION1 AUGUST 2000 This General Management Plan represents the professional opinion of the NIPAP Directorate as advised by the NIPAP technical staff and consultants. The Directorate is confident that the plan represents the best current management option given the present level of technical knowledge, the NIPAS-inspired participation processes that have taken place and, not least, the urgent need to have a management policy now, for conserving the valuable ecological resources of Mt. Pulag. Nonetheless, the Directorate also stresses that the plan is not the last word but merely a Way Forward. 1 Volume II contains the Appendices FOREWORD Message of Hope Mt Pulag is a beautiful mountaintop where there are no trees but only grass. The grass, flowers, deer, birds and other animals living in Mt Pulag are protected by unseen beings who own them. That is why a hunter must ask permission from Kabunian when hunting. A hiker must also seek consent from unseen beings whenever he urinates or answers the call of nature. And whatever a man does while in Mt Pulag, somebody is watching him. He is called Kabunian. They say that when you keep on shouting while in Mt Pulag, it will rain. When you harm the park like leaving trashes, you are inviting bad luck because you made the home of the unseen being dirty.

Trends and Management Options in an Ifugao Village, Philippines
Small-scale Forestry (2014) 13:1–17 DOI 10.1007/s11842-013-9238-2 RESEARCH PAPER Conserving Forests in Privatized Commons: Trends and Management Options in an Ifugao Village, Philippines Adrian Albano • Shinya Takeda Accepted: 4 March 2013 / Published online: 24 March 2013 Ó Steve Harrison, John Herbohn 2013 Abstract This study addresses the question, ‘How can remaining forests be conserved when these are already individually privatized, and when the people prefer landuses other than forestry?’ These changes in landuse and forest ownership are demonstrated through a case study of a village in Ifugao, Philippines. A rapid and continued conversion of forest into agricultural land is observed, particularly for vegetable farming. Traditionally, most of the village total land area was under communal land ownership, but now almost half is under de facto private ownership. This transition in land (including forest) ownership is generally attributed to increased demand for land which is further attributed to changes in peoples’ values towards wealth accumulation rather than redistribution, greater integration to the market economy and a shift towards commercial agriculture. Past forest policies have been ineffective in regulating the landuse largely because they have not reﬂected local reality, and this appears to be true with the present national forest management strategy of community-based forest management. It is argued that the granting of land titles will improve forest conservation because it will improve the enforcement of forest laws and related contractual agreements. Based on the reality of private land ownership, it is further argued that forest policy in IP land should include private (individual, family or household) forest management.

Changes in Indigenous Common Property Regimes and Development Policies in the Northern Philippines1
CHANGES IN INDIGENOUS COMMON PROPERTY REGIMES AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES IN THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES1 June Prill-Brett, Ph.D. University of the Philippines Baguio Introduction This paper looks at how common property regimes changed in post-colonial Philippines in the context of development policies on natural resources, particularly in the management of common property regimes among the indigenous peoples of the northern Philippine highlands. What are the impacts of development policies on the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) who have retained their pre-colonial common property regime management practices? How are the Indigenous Peoples responding to the changes in development policies that affect traditional land tenure and resource management? What aspects of common property regime is changing, and under what conditions or pressures? What are some lessons learned in understanding the context where common property regime loses its reason for existence in Philippine upland agricultural communities? The paper begins by giving a brief historical background of pre-conquest property regimes and the development of resource management practices associated with each property regime. It goes on to show the changes in the indigenous property system in lowland Philippines under the Spanish colonial period. Under American colonial administration more laws were introduced which required the registration and titling of land and the state management of other natural resources such as forests and minerals. After independence the colonial laws on resource management were adopted by the Philippine Republic such as the Regalian Doctrine, which was used to usurp the common lands of indigenous communities rendering them squatters on “public lands.” The indigenous communities common property became open access leading to unsustainable management with the breakdown of rules for managing natural resources.
