The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples on Monday, Feb. 20, issued a statement refuting IP groups’ and IP rights advocates’ claims against the construction of the New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project .
These consultations were implemented according to the virtues and customary law of the Dumagat-Remontado tribe, which will be primarily affected by the project, it continued.NCIP noted that its officials personally visited and reached out to the IP leaders to ensure their involvement in the discussion on the NCWS-KDP.
Even though there was no consensus made in the initial meeting, the old IP leaders in the community, or “gemot”, were able to provide their consent for the project through a procedure known as “pasurut-surutan.” “…naipaliwanag na sa mga katutubo na naninirahan sa mga nasabing lugar na hindi sila malulubog maliban sa mga ilang pana-panahon na pananim na nasa tabing-ilog na nakasama sa mga imbentaryo at mababayaran. Ang kanilang pamayanan ay malayo sa lugar ng pagbaha o inundation area ng Kaliwa Dam at nasa mataas na bahagi sila ,” the commission explained.
