INTRODUCTION The Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project is a special project being implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the Chico Upper River Basin (CURB) in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and in three other priority river basins in the country.1 INREMP aims to, among others, restore ecological stability and biodiversity conditions of degraded forest lands and protected areas in these upper river basins. In degraded forest lands and conservation areas that are above > 50 %, the interventions for natural resources management (NRM) include reforestation and assisted natural regeneration (ANR). Reforestation involves the planting of indigenous forest tree seedlings that have undergone nursery operations. ANR refers to the rehabilitation and restoration of inadequately stocked forest areas through protection and maintenance of naturally growing seedlings (wildlings) and enrichment planting of open spaces with nursery-raised seedlings. These interventions are implemented through partner people’s organizations (POs) that are selected and endorsed by the communities and that pass the requirements of the DENR. Within Mountain Province, CURB2 covers the sub-watersheds of the BAlitian, AGoyo, MAligcong, DOcligan and LIngoy Rivers, which comprise the BAAGMADOLI Watershed Management Unit (WMU) found in the municipalities of Bontoc and Sadanga. Tocucan, one of the 16 barangays of Bontoc, is within the BAAGMADOLI WMU. Tocucan is an indigenous community belonging to the Bontok ethnic group. The INREMP subprojects that are now being implemented in Tocucan are ANR (111 ha) and reforestation (33 ha) covering a total land area of 144 ha. These were awarded in 2016 for implementation in 2017-2019, with supplemental budget for maintenance until 2020. Table 1.

  • 2278-6236 Inayan: the Tenet for Peace Among Igorots
    International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 6.284 INAYAN: THE TENET FOR PEACE AMONG IGOROTS Rhonda Vail G. Leyaley* Abstract: This research study was conducted to determine the meaning of Inayan and how this principle is used by the Igorots as a peaceful means of solving issues that involves untoward killings, accidents, theft and land grabbing. The descriptive method was used in this study. Key informants were interviewed using a prepared questionnaire. Foremost, the meaning of Inayan among Igorots is, it is the summary of the Ten Commandments. For more peaceful means, they’d rather do the rituals like the “Daw-es” to appease their pain and anger. This is letting the Supreme Being which they call Kabunyan take the course of action in “punishing” those who have committed wrong towards them. It is recommended that the principles of Inayan be disseminated to the younger generation through the curriculum; that the practices and rituals will be fully documented to be used as references; and to develop instructional materials that will advocate the principle of Inayan; Keywords: Inayan, Peace, Igorots, Rituals, Kankanaey *Bulanao, Tabuk City, Kalinga Vol. 5 | No. 2 | February 2016 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 239 International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 6.284 I. INTRODUCTION In a society where tribal conflicts are very evident, a group of individuals has a very distinguishable practice in maintaining the culture of peace among themselves. They are the Igorots. The Cordillera region of Northern Philippines is the ancestral domain of the Igorots.

    International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences ISSN: 2278-6236 THE INDIGENOUS PRACTICES, BELIEFS, AND RITUALS OF THE UNOY RICE FARMERS OF KALINGA, NORTHERN PHILIPPINES - AN ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH Edgar M. Naganag* INTRODUCTION: The province of Kalinga is a land-lack province located at the central portion of the Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. It has eight municipalities divided into two political districts. The Municipality of Tanudan belongs to District 2. It is considered as a fifth class municipality located in the hinterland of the province inhabited by the indigenous peoples of Kalinga, the Itanudan. The municipality of Tanudan was then made up of only five barangays grouped according to ethno-linguistic clusters. These are Dacalan, Ga-ang, Lubo, Mangali, Taloctoc and Pangol. During the olden times, the people of Tanudan struggled for survival over harsh realities of their unexplored but kind environment. Though the lower portion of the municipality is accessible to land transportation it is just recent that the road was opened to Taloctoc and Mangali. The staple food of the people is rice. They produce the rice in their fields (pappayaw) or in the upland slash-and-burn (uma). The uma farming system has always been practiced by the people of Tanudan, but there is no proof of its real beginning. There are some ideas of how the Uma started in Tanudan, but these are purely hearsays for lack of corroborating evidence. *Kalinga-Apayao State College, Tabuk City, Philippines Vol. 2 | No. 12 | December 2013 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 331 International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences ISSN: 2278-6236 The stories of the old folks have dubious sources and each story teller has his or her version which at the end favors his own barangay or sub-tribe.
