[15/16] Ancestral lands should never be sold to private entities. This has long been the case for disputed land communities in Palawan, including parts of the Batak tribe lowlands and Balabac’s Sitio Marihangin.
[14/16] The regulatory mechanisms are also lacking, leading to anomalous fund distribution, further making the situation worse for IP groups affected by mining.
[13/16] Under the outdated Philippine Mining Act of 1995, these corporations are required to only give 1% of their revenue to affected communities. This 5% is not enough for reparations to irreversible damages caused by mining companies.
