I. INTRODUCTION 1. The community management plan (CMP) is a documentation of the community people’s venture into formulating their own development plans, strategies and direction based on how they assess their present situation and where they like to go in the future. The community plays a vital role in the whole development process and thus allowed the chance to be active partners in the planning activities. The indigenous peoples who are the farmers, being the beneficiaries of these development and who long time ago practice the concept of stewardship in land ownership will revive and enrich the old practice of managing the natural resources in the time when these cultural practice is slowly disintegrating due to shift in the economy. 2. The CMP was formulated trough series of consultations, characterization, site reconnaissance and community mapping. Interview of elders on their customary laws, traditional practices on resource management and unique culture was also conducted. 3. The ‘’Isnegs”, have been successful in managing their forest lands and resources applying or practicing the ‘’Lapat System’’ which was recognized by the government under the Sustainable Traditional Indigenous Forest Resources Management System and Practices (STIFRMSP).

II. LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

A. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RIGHT ACT OF 1997 (RA 8371) 4. The Indigenous Peoples (IP) in the Philippines remain as the most marginalized sector of the society. This status continues despite the tremendous inroads achieved by communities, partners and advocates through the years of struggle. In 1997, as result vigilance and the sustained advocacy of the IP sector and its partners, the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) was enacted. This provided venues and legal backbone for the recognition of the Traditional Rights of communities over their ancestral domain. 5. The IPRA provides for the recognition of the traditional rights of Indigenous Peoples over their ancestral domains through the issuance of Certificate of Ancestral Domain Titles (CADT). It recognizes the rights of ICC’s to define the development priorities through their own ancestral domain.

B. NCIP ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 13, SERIES OF 2012 6. The NCIP AO 3 underscores the policy of the state that no concession, licenses, permit or lease or undertaking affecting ancestral domains will be granted or renewed without going through the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) process, which ids needed in the issuance of Certification Precondition by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).

C. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ADB SAFEGUARD POLICY, 2009 7. ADB Policy on Safeguards requirement for Indigenous peoples recognizes the right of Indigenous People to direct the course of their own development. Indigenous people are defined in different countries in various ways. For operational purposes, the term Indigenous people is used to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group with following characteristics:

4

a. Self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this community by others;

b. Collective attachments to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in the habitats;

c. Customary, cultural, economic, social or political institutions that are separate from those dominant society and culture; and

d. A distinct language, often different from the official language of the country or region. 8. According to ADB policy, Indigenous People’s safeguards are triggered if project directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems or cultural resources that Indigenous people or affects the territories, natural or cultural resources that Indigenous people own, use, occupy or claim as their ancestral property.

16. Agricultural products such as lowland rice, corn crops, legumes and vegetables are the commercial products being brought to market. Upland rice is intended only for daily consumption but sometimes it is sold locally when in need. 17. Through actual survey, the most common livelihood of the residents is poultry & swine production. Carabao is indispensable to farmers in tilling their farmlands & it is also used to transport their products. 18. Nature and Characteristics- Isnegs are hospitable, generous, kind and freedom living. They are highly aesthetic in temperament, self-reliant, and honest. Isneg kinship is bilateral, meaning children are equally related to both the mother and the father. Households consist of

11

interrelated families living close together in their “balay”. Physically, Isnegs are generally known to be tall, dark and have a high bridge nose. The Isnegs are a small ethnolinguistic group inhabiting the wide mountains of the area. The Isneg settlements are mostly along the river, but they do farming up the hills at certain times of year.

19. History-The barangay of Nabuangan is actually a home of Isnegs but as time goes by, immigrants set their foot in the community. Malawegs are the first immigrants and educated who trace their roots from Cagayan. According to the old folks, there are two accounts and stories how Nabuangan got its name. One is that there was an event of flood that occurred where the water from the river overflowed and caused flood to the area. The flood caused great erosion along the riverbanks. From the word “nabuang” that means “eroded” then became the name of the river and later the area was named Nabuangan. Another story about the name Nabuangan was derived from the water in the creek “sulong” that never dried. There are two living creeks called Sulong Babwakan and Sulong Nabuangan that survived and served as the living water source to the settlers. During dry season “kalika or tikag” everything is dried and there is no food to eat and people got sick. Neighboring villages from Kalinga and Abra suffered the same where they did not afford the fate and suffering, so they went out and searched for water. They reached Nabuangan with bamboos as containers and asked for water. They offered jewelries “gameng” such as beads, jars and other antiques to the settlers in exchange to allow them to fetch water. Nabuangan means living water because it flows continuously even during dry season “tikag”. 20. Etymology-The people of Nabuangan claim and belong to the Isneg indigenous group. They emphasize and pronounce “e” to differentiate them with “a” of Isnag of Apayao and neighboring villages. The Isnegs believe that their ancestors originated from the northern part of Tineg in Abra who then settled along the riverbanks following the trail of the small tributaries of water that flows down to the Acutan River, which is the main tributary of Nabuangan River. The image of Tineg trees that grow along the river recounts the origin of settlers from Tineg who were then called Itneg. For long years of living in the place, they differentiate and call themselves Isnegs to distinguish them with the Isnags of Apayao. There are two prominent settlers of Nabuangan, the Isnegs as the first settlers who came from the upper portion following the flow of water in the river until they settled in the place. The other is the Malawegs described as first immigrants and educated who trace their roots from Cagayan. 21. Cultral Practices-Throughout the year, rituals, beliefs, practices and traditions play a central role in the social life of Isneg. These are often very festive occasions. Everyone in the Isneg community prepares and looks forward to the feasts observed during the year, which are related to the most important events in the Isneg’s life: marriage, illness, death, harvest, farewells, political negotiations, or honoring family members for achievements and other events of their daily living.

• Mamildap- was held when a sick person will not eventually get treated after going back and forth at hospitals. The subject will lay down on the floor or in a bed while one of the family members will move around the sick carrying the dog while blood was dripping from its slaughtered throat.

• Mahanitu- which was performed by the bahbakat (old woman) to cast evil spirit inside a certain house or person who is sick. A slaughtered pig must be prepared and placed in front of

12

the bahbakat. A chant (unintelligible) while performing, shaking and hitting the pig using the different leaves she held as she moves around.

• Giving birth- The Isneg woman traditionally gives birth in a kneeling position, using a mushroom as a talisman to ensure a successful delivery.

• Death- When someone die, the bereaved family will build batalan which serves as semi basement where people can get together.

• Bisnag- a unique game of endurance during wake rites for villagers. Two or more men hitting each other’s thighs alternately.

In the burial, inside the bamboo coffin are placed a jar of basi near the feet that would quench the dead’s thirst during his journey to the land beyond. His spear near the left hand and his shield near the feet that would protect him from enemies that he could possibly meet along the way. The weapons are properly positioned at his disposal so that he could immediately stand to grasp his armory to defend himself.

• Panes- known form of maglo mostly done by a widow where she must only wear black colored things. She must also allow her hair to grow long because trimming or shaving for a widower is a taboo.

Traditional Farming Practices-There are rituals connected with agricultural cycle particularly to the daily life on the swidden, which includes clearing, planting and harvesting. Three signs indicate that clearing work on the swidden can begin- the red bakakaw herb comes out, the tablan (coral tree) is in bloom, and the leaves of the basinalan tree fall to the ground. This is around February to March. Then, the lumba tree begins to bear fruit and it is a sign that the dry days has begun. Then, to start the planting, a certain member of the family will just plan a few then leave immediately. After going home, magbakka was held in the house where coconut will be cut half. The one who made the planting will not be allowed to hold a ladle within three days and no visitors inside the house as well. For harvesting, malagkit was prepared first. And then,

13

rice pudding is offered to Pilay, the spirit of the rice, who resides on the paga, the shelf above the Isneg hearth. This is the pisi/atang, the ritual offering of food to the spirit.

• Manatalun- which was the act of clearing at least five minutes to formally start the swidden for the next day.

• Magtunah- which was the act of planting at least three palay seed to formally start the planting after three days.

• Sumidam- which was the act of harvesting for at least five minutes after the inapugan ritual to formally start the harvesting for the next day.

C. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 23. Forest areas of barangay Nabuangan is susceptible to deforestation due to unsustainable farming practices of the community. The primary causal factors to deforestation is the steep slope, timber poaching and Agricultural expansion. 24. The barangay is vulnerable to landslide due to rugged topography, geologic composition and extreme rainfall climate. It is most observed and occurs during heavy rainy season and during the occurrence of typhoon. 25. Poor road condition is another problem face by communities within the barangay. This condition hampers the movement of the goods and services that will be delivered in the community as well as the delivery of agricultural products for marketing. 26. Mini hydroelectricity is the power supply of the barangay. It is only active at nighttime until twelve (12) midnight. 27. Economic instability-The communities within the barangay are experiencing financial struggles caused by declining resource base and unpredictable natural hazards which resulted to financial shortage because of unemployment and low farm productivity, low market price and high cost of commodities. 28. Opportunities-The presence of different development projects of government institutions provides opportunities for all the communities in the barangay. The MLGU and the BLGUs willingness to provide funds from the 20% development fund for the management of the area could increase opportunity to the communities. Support from other government and non-government institutions is also an opportunity to improve the socio-economic and environmental condition of the area.

IV. OVERALL GOVERNANCE OF THE ANCESTRAL DOMAIN

A. Vision 29. “We, the iNabuangan blessed with nature and rich culture, healthy and progressive settlers, humble and wise leadership of elders, respect to neighbors, aspiration to sustain the environment towards development and to economically grow as a market centre and trade of Conner”. 30. “Ikami nga iNabuangan neddannan ko adu nga kadaaanan nga ug ugali, napiya nga gawgawyen, nabaknang nga umili, nasihib nga manakem, niddok da ke pada da nga tolay.

14

Mangpakapya ke lebot para ke magpiyaan ya iNabuangan ta senu ena magbalin nga pagtangaan ya pagbiagan ke ili ya Conner”.

• All engagements with the iNabuangan shall aim to promote and protect the interest and general well- being of the iNabuangan; the elders, children, youths and women with due regard to their beliefs, customs, traditions and institutions.

• Restoration of traditional and good practices that existed and practiced through generations.

B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF TRADITIONAL GOVERNANCE AND CUSTOMARY LAWS

• Self-delineate and recognize Nabuangan Ancestral Domain

• Continuing advocacy on the recognition, promotion and protection of the rights of iNabuangan

• Integrate/marry ENR laws with Nabuangan traditional resources management

• Recognize and promote traditional mutual help system

• Uphold traditional resources management and practices

• Codification of Lapat System

V. IP POLITICAL STRUCTURE The Indigenous Political System/Structure and Leadership in the Sustainability of Ecosystem of the Domain 31. The domain with its best practices in socio-political processes and mechanism cannot survive without tried and tested indigenous leadership of the leaders who are leading now and those before them. 32. It is also shown that even if one is the chosen leader, by participatory and democratic indigenous and institutionalized selection, traditional view of leaders is not based on hierarchy but on social responsibility to the people of the domain. Leaders are not given specialize privilege but given more responsibilities especially in dispute resolution and conflict management in guarding and promoting the welfare, unity and peace of the domain. 33. Leadership in the traditional sense is also group leadership where one lead panpergeon would always be supported by a council of elders or Talagya who would help in solving the conflicts and problems of the domain. 34. From narratives of past, the following characteristics outline the capabilities of an Isneg indigenous leader:

• Nanahman- knowledgeable, brave and possess wisdom

• Mengal- brave (during tribal war days where he is known to have killed many people) but nowadays maingel means those who are brave to initiate and lead even when it goes beyond the majority and would cause him or her more disadvantages.

• Conflict Manager/Peacemaker-knows how to appease both conflicting parties and to achieve a resolution that is acceptable to both conflicting parties.

15

• Servant leadership- leadership not by status but a leadership based on action and willingness to sacrifice one’s own time and resources to make way for the welfare of the community.

• Both male and female with leadership- leadership is only to the male.

• Economic capability for hosting (ag-sangaili)- a leader must practice hospitality in cases where he or she is able to host and feed conflicting parties. This is the ability to sacrifice economic resources for negotiating avenues. It should be noted that being more advanced in economic resources doesn’t mean increase in social ranking but it means a social responsibility to share resources for community needs especially when it comes to hosting dialogues and negotiations.

• Pangergeon- the one doing or leads the Pasmeg, serve also as moderator

• Talagiya- supporter or councils of the Pangergeon 35. Leadership in the indigenous perspective requires both ability and action to do what is needed in the community. The leader becomes a facilitator of peace and progress in the domain, making sure that what his or her ancestors have done; that is to preserve peace and unity, must also be passed on to the present and past generation. However, indigenous leadership does not stand alone because it is rooted in the beliefs, customs and traditions of people who united to support him or her for the united vision of the domain.

VI. CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND LOCAL GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. INTERNAL CATEGORY 37. First, the matter is referred to elders or smaller group for initial talk to understand the problem. In many cases, the offender and offended identify their representatives to meet, talk and

16

settle the problem before meeting with the affected parties. The objective is to avoid immediate confrontation between the offender and offended and the possibilities of lighter retribution or none at all depending on the weight or kind of the offense. 38. During the meeting for settlement; the elders, representatives, barangay officials and the affected parties are called. It is a traditional practice of an elder to open the gathering. To start it is the offended party to narrate his version on the case and to be corroborated by witness, if there are any. The same procedure is expected from the offender then any person who may have other details and knowledge are given the chance to shed light on the problem. The elders will exercise their wisdom, present their experiences and precedents if there are. The elders will share their advices, good deeds, and good examples before laying down their decision. In case the aggrieved party is not satisfied and does not concede, the decision whether bad or good to either or both parties should be respected. The community will serve as the witness and it is their duty and responsibility to keep and employ for the well-being of the affected parties. 39. Their respect, due regards to their traditional practices and high esteem to their morals, wisdom and experiences the elders, villagers and community decide, resolve and agree according to their customary laws. Destruction of properties by neighbors and animals depends on the owner. They may just let go or referred to the attention of concerned officials. In some cases of not referred but observed conflict, the elders take the initiative to meet, discuss and resolve the problem with the parents. The traditional efforts of goodwill by the elders/folks to preserve good practices paglalanglangan should not diminish but strengthened.

B. EXTERNAL CATEGORY 40. In case conflict arises within an ancestral domain and involves members of the IP groups, the traditional conflict management shall apply with the Tribal Council or Elders shall serve as the GRM Body. 41.

The grievance shall be filed by the affected person with the WMC who will act within 15 days upon receipt thereof;

If no understanding or amicable solution can be reached, or if the affected person (AP) does not receive a response from the WMC within 15 days of registry of the complaint, he/she can appeal to the concerned Regional Project Coordination Office (RPCO), which will act on the complaint/grievance within 15 days from the day of its filing;

If the affected person is not satisfied with the decision of the Regional Project Coordination Office, he/she can appeal to NPCO within 15 days of receiving the decision of the Regional Project Coordination Office.

If the affected person is not satisfied with the decision of the NPCO, he/she as the last resort can submit the complaint to any court of law.

43. Affected persons shall be exempted from all administrative and legal fees incurred pursuant to the grievance redress procedures. All complaints received in writing from affected persons will be documented and shall be acted upon immediately according to the procedures detailed above.
