  • Free and Prior Informed Consent
    Is the Concept of “Free and Prior Informed Consent” Effective as a Legal and Governance Tool to Ensure Equity among Indigenous Peoples? (A Case Study on the Experience of the Tagbanua on Free Prior Informed 1 Consent, Coron Island, Palawan, Philippines) Grizelda Mayo-Anda, Loreto L. Cagatulla, Antonio G. M. La Viňa EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Free and Prior Informed Consent is a process established under Philippine law which seeks to guarantee the participation of indigenous communities in decision making on matters affecting their common interests. This paper looks into the experience of the Tagbanua indigenous community of Coron Island, Palawan, Philippines on the application of the concept of Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). The study area focused on the two Tagbanua communities in Coron Island - Barangays Banuang Daan and Cabugao. Coron Island is home to the seafaring Tagbanua tribes and has been identified as one of the country’s important areas for biodiversity.. The Tagbanua community has managed to secure their tenure on the island and its surrounding waters through the issuance and recognition by the government of an ancestral domain title, one of the first examples of its kind in the Philippines. The study concludes that the exercise of Free Prior and Informed Consent by the Tagbanua community is an important and fundamental tool to ensure that the indigenous peoples will benefit from the resources within their ancestral territory. Among others, it has given them a new tool to protect their environment and to obtain an equitable share of the economic benefits of their natural resources. The study also shows that the exercise of Free Prior and Informed Consent by the Tagbanua communities of Barangays Banuang Daan and Cabugao was recognized by government and non-government stakeholders, although in varying degrees.

  • 報 告 Promoting Sustainable Tourism in Coron Island, Palawan Province, Philippines - Policy Gap and Impact Analysis フィリピン・パラワン州・コロン島における持続可能な観光推進に向けて － 政策ギャップ分析
    報 告 Promoting Sustainable Tourism in Coron Island, Palawan Province, Philippines - Policy Gap and Impact Analysis フィリピン・パラワン州・コロン島における持続可能な観光推進に向けて － 政策ギャップ分析 Masanori KOBAYASHI 小林 正典* Abstract： Tourism is an important source of revenue for the Philippines particularly remote and rural coastal and island areas such as those islands in Palawan Province. However, drastic increase of inbound tourists that surpasses the development of required infrastructure degrade the environment and undermine sustainability. While the national government, the local authority and tourism business associations strive to promote sustainable tourism through the compliance with the code of conducts in tour operations to safeguard the safety of the tourists and the environment, the risks associated with sustainable tourism are at the multifaceted and multiple-levels that can go beyond what the local stakeholders are able to squarely address to hedge such risks. The Coron’s Charter for Sustainable Tourism provides a useful policy and institutional framework. Yet, the challenges lie with its compliance and enforcement by the tour agents and business entities. The continuous monitoring, compliance and enforcement mechanisms need to evolve in a participatory manner and be operationalized with the more proactive involvement of local business associations and stakeholder groups. Key Words： sustainable tourism, coastal and island, monitoring, compliance, risk management, public awareness, information 要旨：フィリピン, 特に遠方の地方沿岸・島嶼地域において,観光は重要な収入源である。しかし, 必要 なインフラ整備を超えて観光客が劇的に増大すれば,

  • Indigenous Peoples, Their Livelihoods and Fishery Rights in Canada and the Philippines: Paradoxes, Perspectives and Lessons Learned
    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, THEIR LIVELIHOODS AND FISHERY RIGHTS IN CANADA AND THE PHILIPPINES: PARADOXES, PERSPECTIVES AND LESSONS LEARNED Robert Charles G. Capistrano The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2009 - 2010 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK, 2010 DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of the Philippines, the United Nations, The Nippon Foundation of Japan, the Coastal Community University Research Alliance or Saint Mary’s University. Any remaining errors are the author’s responsibility. © 2010 Robert Charles G. Capistrano. All rights reserved. i Abstract The involvement of indigenous peoples in natural resource management varies widely around the world, and invariably involves complex interactions. This paper examines the experiences of indigenous peoples in Canada and the Philippines with respect to their participation in fisheries management and policy, and how the mismatch between formal frameworks and local practice affects this participation. Combining approaches based on sustainable livelihoods and those relating to rights over natural resource access and management proves a useful vehicle for positive change in collaboratively improving the situation of indigenous peoples. Thus rights to fisheries are fundamental not only as a key tool in fisheries management and conservation, but also as an integral ingredient in the pursuit of secure livelihoods on the part of indigenous peoples. This paper also discusses the impact of local and national policies on the participation of indigenous peoples in the Philippines in relation to fisheries management. Specifically, this research focuses on the Tagbanua, an indigenous group in Coron Island, Palawan.
