    INITIATIVES IN CITIZENSHIP BUILDING IN ABRA PROVINCE A Publication of Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government (CCAGG) Funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Through the Civil Service Commission‟s Award No. 00041065, Building Integrity in the System of Governance 1 Table of Contents Introduction The Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government (CCAGG) as a People‟s Watchdog A Speech in My Sleep (From the Column KEEP IT BURNING) First People Power in Abra: The Tubo Experience From 3.6 Kilometers to 28 Kilometers: The Case of a People‟s Will for Self- Determination in Malibcong, Abra The Empowered Adasens of Bacooc, Lagangilang, Abra: A Case Study The Indomitability of the Human Spirit: The Case of the Indigenous Peoples of Boliney The Authors 2 Introduction For a long time, many people of Abra are bystanders. They are passive, apathetic and are seen but not heard from. This is because government officials have taken them for granted. During elections, politicians woo them for their votes and are promised good governance. But after their proclamation as winners, they lord over the citizens who placed them into the pedestal of power. They do not create avenues for the Abrenians to speak their thoughts, much less consult them even in matters that affect their lives. But this picture has slowly altered, thanks to pro-development organizations which organize, enable and empower them. Many Abrenians now know their rights and even claim them. They have grown in their self-esteem, have become vigilant, and participative in community undertakings. They have realized that their elected officials are answerable to citizens, hence, have learned to exact accountability and responsibility.

  • A Case Study of the CCAGG in the Philippines
    Helping Communities by Monitoring Infrastructure: A Case Study of the CCAGG in the Philippines by Luz Rimban for the Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government 1 (CCAGG) October 2012 Summary Since1986 the Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government (CCAGG), a civil society organization in the Philippines, has engaged in monitoring and auditing public infrastructure projects. Because of its extensive experience, CCAGG had established a reputation as the go-to group for complaints on government infrastructure projects in the region. Although CCAGG’s core activity is participatory monitoring and auditing, it is also involved in community organizing; working with indigenous cultural communities; development programs; conducting research; and engaging in activities related to ecology, peace-building, and media outreach. CCAGG has adopted an approach of constructive engagement, and at times critical collaboration, toward government. Its monitoring work has resulted in positive 1 policy changes relating to procurement and audits. Photo courtesy of CCAGG. Introduction March 2004 was supposed to be an auspicious month for farmers in Sitio Lagaoisan, a small community in the village of Callao in Villaviciosa, a town on the southwestern edge of the province of Abra, Philippines. Construction had started on a P5 million (US$116,000) communal irrigation system that would water 45 hectares of rice fields, potentially increasing harvests from three tons per hectare to 4.25 tons. This project was part of a number of efforts to support farmers who, as beneficiaries of a national government agrarian reform program, had just graduated from being tenants on a wealthy landowner‘s estate to finally owning the land themselves.

  • 163 Abra: Land, People, and History
    ICBE Through the Years: 10th ICBE Conference | 2019 | The Netherlands HIGHLIGHTS ABRA: LAND, PEOPLE, AND HISTORY Presented by Christina Moncado Abra province is one of the six provinces in the Cordillera Administrative region (CAR). It is hemmed in the towering mountain ranges of the Ilocos on the west and the Cordillera in the east. It is bounded on the north by Ilocos Norte, on the south by Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province, on the east by Kalinga and on the west Apayao. This landlocked province is a melting pot of the lowland people of dominant Spanish ancestry and the Tingguian tribe. According to various writers, these people are descended from Chinese, Japanese, or Arabs; are typical Malay. Insulated by the Mountainous Gazebo, Abra’s nature has remained pristine and a way of life away from the humdrum of urban cosmopolitan living. With a land area of 3,180.8 square kilometers, Abra accounts for one-fifth of the regions land area, the largest province in the region with the most number of municipalities (27) and barangays (303). The seat of the provincial government is at Bangued, its capital town which is four hours from Baguio City and 10 hours from Manila. LAND A Historic Story of the Defense of Ancestral Land: The Struggle against Cellophil Resource Corporation (CRC) The total land area of Abra is 397,555 hectares. Of these, 98,420 hectares is In late 1972, just after the declaration of Martial Law on considered alienable and disposable September 21, a barely-known logging company began land. The total forested area is to make its presence felt in the Abra Province, 299,135 hectares.
