Lumad Husay (Indigenous Conciliation) Lumad Husay (Indigenous Conciliation) Decolonizing Justice & Re-storying Culture in Mindanao, Philippines Jeremy Simons A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Te Whare Wānanga o Otago/University of Otago Aotearoa New Zealand June 2021 i Abstract In 2016 a consortium of Lumad indigenous activists articulated husay (conciliation/mediation) as a cultural platform for non-violent political assertion, as well as an umbrella symbol of Lumad legal cultural resurgence on the island of Mindanao (Philippines). In this research I describe key historic, contextual, and cultural (both internal and external) factors in the emergence of this social movement by Lumad peace and justice experts and their allies over the past two decades. This study unearths some of the historic and contemporary symbols, motifs, and meanings undergirding Lumad forms of justice, how they came to be contested in current circumstances, and the dynamics, nuances, and implications of their transformation. With a focus on Lumad engagements in formal government-rebel peace processes, the evolution of collective action by this cohort of Lumad peace practitioners, activists, and peoples’ organizations in the early 2000s is articulated as a Lumad Peace Movement. Factors that facilitated this cultural revival included demographic changes in the religious affiliation of Lumad communities, the growth of Mindanao-wide conflict transformation initiatives, formal government-rebel peace processes, and the emergence of a rival, Military-Lumad counter- insurgency alliance epitomized by Task Force Gantangan. The responses and interactions of Lumad leaders negotiating external social factors and the internal cultural dynamics of husay, as Lumad legal culture, I suggest, evidences a local form of complexity called kalibugan. Lumad legal agency in the context of kalibugan involved mobilizing and asserting epics and narratives connecting customary traditions with current peace practices across various identities, ecologies, and geographies of justice. This research involved storying (saysay) and historicizing (kasaysayan) local iterations of justice and peace with Lumad and non-Lumad partners through auto-ethnographic accompaniment, qualitative methodology, and textual meta-analysis. As a form of collaborative and appreciative action research within the Lumad Peace Movement, I related two case studies of Aromanon and Teduray Lumad practitioners’ engagement with state and non-state actors through their use and modification of indigenous cultural concepts, motifs, and narratives. The case studies show how tribal leaders have adapted unique tribal forms of husay to address conflict, violence, trauma, and injustice across a spectrum of social conflict – interpersonal, ideological, communal, and intergenerational. This inquiry is a response to the lack of focused study on Lumad peace traditions and their current use and deployment in post-modern contexts, especially in formal peace processes and insurgency-counter insurgency contexts. Framing the recent history of a Lumad Peace ii Movement as a contemporary cultural resurgence of indigenous legal culture is a novel contribution to Lumad studies and indigenous scholarship more broadly. The relevance and value of this research is that it extends the articulation of peace movement histories by Lumad leaders and allies engaged in justice and peacebuilding efforts in Mindanao. In particular, it highlights the strategies that Lumad activists and their supporters have used to engage formal government institutions, rebel actors, and peace processes. The study helps reclaim, document, and historicize Lumad models of peace and justice activism, social movement action, right to self-determination assertions, and indigenous political agency. Field research was conducted between 2018-2019, following over 20 years in the Philippines, including residence in Mindanao from 2008-2017. iii Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of Contents iv Acknowledgements viii Tables and Figures ix Glossary x Abbreviations & Acronyms xi CHAPTER ONE – Introduction 1 § Lumad Geographies of Peace, Conflict, Culture, and Struggle in Mindanao 3 § Research Position, Partners, and Methodology 9 § Culture and Justice in Legal and Transitional Contexts 10 § Indigenous Marginalization in Social Movement Literatures 12 § Lumad in Mindanao's Peacebuilding Discourses 13 § Implications of the Uneven Peacebuilding Discourse on Mindanao's Peace 17 § Lumad and Mindanao (non-Moro) Indigenous Peoples Studies 19 § Overview of the Research 22 CHAPTER TWO - An Ecology of Research: Biography, Worldview, and Paradigm Pluralism 26 Subsection A: The Proto-researcher - Excavating Biography and Worldview through Reflexivity and Storytelling 27 § Locating Myself in an Intellectual, Emotional, and Cultural Research Ecology 31 § The Labours of Intersectional Reflexivity, Transformative Storytelling, and Constructive Marginality 33 Subsection B: Personalizing Paradigms and Contextualizing Processes 42 § Researcher Motivation, Intent, and Worldview 42 § Constructivism/Interpretivism 45 § Transformativism 46 § Participatory and Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Paradigm 47 § Indigenous Research Paradigms 49 CHAPTERE THREE - Inquiry Praxis: Accompaniment in Co-constructed Inquiry 53 § JustPeace Ethics 54 iv § Research as Relating: Indigenizing Processes and Partnerships in Mindanao 56 § Bricoleurs and Accompaniers: Inquiry Design, Ethos, and Strategies 67 § Inquiry Organizing, Methods, and Challenges in the Field 75 § Background to the Bangsamoro Transformative Justice Initiative (BTJI) 82 § Data Gathering, Data Inclusion, and Meta-data 85 § BTJI Research Design and Methodology 92 § Conclusion 93 CHAPTER FOUR - Lumad Justice: Local Knowledge, National Law, Global Theory 95 § Out to the Margins, Back to the Future 95 § Who are the Lumad? 97 § Contexts of Lumad Struggles: Colonization, Nationalism, and Transitional Justice 101 § Culture and Ethnicity in Peace and Conflict Studies 102 § Mapping Peacebuilding Terrains: Positive Peace and the Justice and Culture Gaps 107 § Cognitive Justice, “Lawfare” and Revolution 111 § Lumad Agency, Identity, and Legal Pluralism 114 § Postmodernism and Law 119 § Conclusion 122 CHAPTER FIVE - Lumad Husay as Legal Theory 125 § Husay and Hustisya – Connection or Disjunction? 125 § Towards Everyday Leadership: Customary Law and Cultural Innovation 127 § Kalibugan: Lumad Justice, Social Movement Theory, and Sacred Legal Culture 129 § Why Husay? 136 § The Formation of Lumad Husay Mindanao 137 CHAPTER SIX - The Contours of Lumad Legal Culture 142 § Lumad Peacemaking Roles and Titles 142 § Principles and Values 144 § Leadership in Legal Culture: Collective Conciliation and the Multi-datu System 146 § Bangon, Restitution, and Community Restoration 149 § The Objective of Lumad Justice: Restoration of Relationships 153 § Holistic Healing: The Ecological-Social-Psychology of Leadership Ascription 155 § Processes of Justice 157 v § Summary, Analysis, and Conclusion 158 CHAPTER SEVEN - Husay, Community Accountability, and Revolutionary Justice 163 § Lumad Legal Culture in Governance – The Case of Mayor Ramon Piang Sr. 164 § A Teduray Model and the State System 168 § The Katarungang Pambarangay (KP)/Barangay Justice System (BJS) 172 § Lumad Legal Culture and Community Justice Pluralism in Mindanao 175 § Revolutionary Justice 180 § Revolutionary Justice and its Discontents 185 § Collective Accountability: Salà and Institutional and Systemic Injustice 188 § Conclusion 191 CHAPTER EIGHT - Factions and Refractions: Faith and Culture in the Lumad Social Movement 194 § Origins of the Post-colonial Lumad Social Movement 194 § Lumad Social Movement: From Revolution to Regeneration 201 § The Fracturing of the Lumad Social Movement 207 § Indigenizing Counter-insurgency: Lumad in the Radical Right 210 § Lumad and the Radical Left 214 § Conclusion 216 CHAPTER NINE - Genealogies of Justice in the Lumad Peace Movement 220 § Kalibugan Theory and Storywork 220 § The External Matrix of Lumad Justice and Peacebuilding in the New Millennium 222 § Evolving Vernaculars of Peace: The Transformation of Panagtagbo 225 § Lumad Legends and Storywork as Lumad Peace Movement Culture and Praxis 231 § Conclusion: Lumad Storytelling as Justice and Cultural Resurgence 234 CHAPTER TEN – Case Studies 237 § Study One: Aromanon Manobo-Maguindanaoan Community Peace Pacts as Lumad Peace Process 239 § Study 2: Reclaiming the Mt.

  • The Bangsamoro Peace Process and Peacebuilding in Mindanao: Implications to Philippine Studies and National Development
    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 19, Number 3, 2016 The Bangsamoro Peace Process and Peacebuilding in Mindanao: Implications to Philippine Studies and National Development Juvanni A. Caballero Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines Mark Anthony J. Torres Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines INTRODUCTION As early as 1931, Moro leaders who were in favor of Moro integration into the Philippine body politichad already expressed their concerns on the marginalization of Mindanao and its native inhabitants. Datu Ibra, then representative of Lanao to the Philippine Legislature once said in his privilege speech: A nation is like a human body. To be healthy, all its parts must be healthy. A man cannot be said to be healthy because his arms are strong provided his feet are weak… A beautiful Manila does not constitute a beautiful Philippines, and so we ask you to pay more serious attention to the problems of the south, which in progress is far behind the north.1 The above speech of Datu Ibra gives us a lot of insights. First, it reminds us that the Philippines cannot be complete without Mindanao. Hence, if we talk about Philippine development, Mindanao cannot be detached from it. Second, the speech reminds us that the problem in Mindanao is a Philippine problem. Thus, people from other parts of the country should not say: “Mindanao is too far from us” or “The problem in Mindanao is not our problem”. After all, the war efforts to contain “Moro rebellion” are financed by Filipino taxpayers; Soldiers recruited to fight the Moro “rebels” often come from other regions of the Philippines; and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Mindanao migrate to overcrowded cities in Luzon and Visayas.

  • Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights
    Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights AURORA ROXAS-LIM* Abstract This research focuses on the ongoing socioeconomic transformation of the sea-oriented Sama-Bajao whose sad plight caught the attention of the government authorities due to the outbreak of violent hostilities between the armed Bangsa Moro rebels and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the 1970s. Among hundreds of refugees who were resettled on land, the Sama- Bajao, who avoid conflicts and do not engage in battles, were displaced and driven further out to sea. Many sought refuge in neighboring islands mainly to Sabah, Borneo, where they have relatives, trading partners, and allies. Massive displacements of the civilian populations in Mindanao, Sulu, and Tawi- Tawi that spilled over to outlying Malaysia and Indonesia forced the central government to take action. This research is an offshoot of my findings as a volunteer field researcher of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) to monitor the implementation of the Indigenous People’s Rights to their Ancestral Domain (IPRA Law RA 8371 of 1997). Keywords: inter-ethnic relations, Sama-Bajao, Taosug, nomadism, demarcation of national boundaries, identity and citizenship, human rights of indigenous peoples * Email: [email protected] V olum e 18 (2017) Roxas-Lim Introduction 1 The Sama-Bajao people are among the sea-oriented populations in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Sama-Bajao are mentioned together and are often indistinguishable from each other since they speak the same Samal language, live in close proximity with each other, and intermarry.

INTRODUCTION The Mangyan have developed internal adaptation and coping The Philippines is the third most disaster-prone country in the strategies that would hopefully make them build resilient world, next to Tonga and Vanuatu. This is due to the country’s communities. This was evident in the way they wear their high exposure to natural calamities (The World Disaster Report, clothes, build their houses, find their source of livelihood, 2012). Of the top three at risk however, the Philippines had the practice their ancestral faith and their decision to stay or not in best rating on adaptation measures, with scores similar to their respective communities. However, some adaptation Malaysia and Thailand (Philippines Daily Inquirer, 10/15/2012).

  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

  • Defining the Bangsamoro Right to Self Determination in the MILF Peace Process
    Human Rights in Southeast Asia Series 1 144 BREAKING THE SILENCE DEFINING THE Bangsamoro RIGHT to SELF Determination IN THE MILF PEACE Process Ayesah Abubakar and Kamarulzaman Askandar The Right to Self Determination (RSD) struggle of the Bangsamoro of Mindanao, Philippines has been internationalised since its first peace process in the 1970s with third party actors being involved. However, it is in the recent Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (GRP-MILF) peace process that the idea of RSD is well articulated in several ways. An example of this is in defining development in terms of RSD. In a usual peace process, development is often introduced in the post-conflict phase soon after a peace agreement had been signed. However, in the context of the GRP-MILF Peace Talks, a new approach of starting reconstruction, rehabilitation, and development efforts in the conflict affected areas is being undertaken as part of a confidence building measure during the peace process itself. This new phase can be seen in the creation of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA). This research will present its findings on how the Bangsamoro articulate their concepts of development and Right to Self Determination. Mainly, it discusses the creation of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) and the worldview of MILF communities. Defining the Bangsamoro Right to Self Determination in the MILF Peace Process 145 1. Introduction The core of the conflict in Mindanao, Philippines is identity-based leading to a right to self-determination struggle. The Bangsamoro of Mindanao maintains that it is a sovereign nation and it wants to assert its freedom from the Philippine nation-state.1 Mindanao is the historical ancestral domain of the 13 ethno-linguistic tribes forming the Bangsamoro group and other Indigenous Peoples.

Ia telah wujud lebih lama daripada mereka yang perahu, pelaut, lebih dipopularkan dalam bidang ini – Phoenicians, Greek, Rom, Arab dan perdagangan, juga Vikings. Ketika masyarakat benua sibuk mencipta pelbagai kenderaan di maritim, darat dengan penciptaan roda, masyarakat Melayu sudah boleh Nusantara menyeberang laut dengan perahu-perahu mereka. Sejak air laut meningkat kesan daripada pencairan ais di kutub dan glesiar di benua, sekitar 10,000- 6,000 tahun yang lampau, orang Melayu telah mula memikirkan alat pengangkutan mereka lantaran mereka telah terkepung di pulau-pulau akibat kenaikan paras laut dan tenggelamnya Benua Sunda. Justeru terciptalah pelbagai jenis perahu dan alat pengangkutan air yang dapat membantu pergerakan mereka. Sejak zaman itu, orang Melayu telah mampu menguasai laut sekitarnya. Ketika orang-orang Phoenician dan Mesir baru pandai berbahtera di pesisir laut tertutup Mediterranean dan Sungai Nil, orang Melayu telah melayari samudra luas; Teluk Benggala, Lautan Hindi dan Lautan Pasifik. Sekitar abad ke-2SM perahu-perahu Melayu yang besar-besar telah berlabuh di pantai timur India dan tenggara China, sementara masyarakat bertamadun tinggi lain baru sahaja pandai mencipta perahu-perahu sungai dan pesisir. Pada mulanya perahu-perahu Melayu hanya digunakan untuk memberi perkhidmatan pengangkutan hinggalah masuk abad ke-4 apabila komoditi tempatan Nusantara mula mendapat permintaan di peringkat perdagangan antarabangsa. Pelbagai jenis rempah ratus, hasil hutan dan logam diangkut oleh perahu-perahu itu untuk menyertai perdagangan dunia yang sedang berkembang.
