SECTION 4: YOUTH PARTICIPANTS, ELDERS, RESOURCE SPEAKERS, IP YOUTH NETWORKS AND STAFF STEERING COMMITTEE AND SUB-COMMITTEES

Introduction Kalindogan, is a yearly gathering of Indigenous youth that provides a venue for consciousness-raising about current issues affecting the indigenous peoples (IP) communities, and for generating culturally rooted and peace promoting responses that the IP youth can do in their respective communities. Now on its third year, the gathering focused on the theme “The Role of Youth in Building Sustainable Peace through Intercultural Dialogue and Solidarity”. This was in response to the call for continuous dialogue and consensus building among the different sectors in the country, towards finding a viable solution to the escalation of armed hostilities between the government forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the aftermath of the aborted signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the Ancestral Domain between the government and the MILF Peace Panels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last August 5, 2008. As a way of promoting the true spirit of dialogue, 248 youth from different Muslim, indigenous peoples, Christian organizations and communities in various parts of the country participated in the event. For three days, the youth participants experienced how to live, discuss, work, and pray together despite differences in ethnic, geographical and religious backgrounds. By retracing their history and by understanding the roots of the on‐going conflicts in Mindanao, it was hoped that they would discover their common aspirations, and recognize their significant role as young people in the pursuit of peace and harmony in their respective families, schools, organizations and communities. They learned from the story-telling sessions and interactions with 11 indigenous elders as well as the inputs of ten resource speakers from various development agencies and indigenous organizations. They were visited by six special guests who were key officials of the University of Southeastern Philippines, National Commission for Indigenous Peoples and Davao City local government. Having learned from the gatherings in the past two years, the IP youth themselves took a prominent role in managing this year’s gathering. A Steering Committee, composed of youth representatives from selected youth organizations from different parts of the country, was formed to conceptualize, organize and coordinate the conduct of the conference with the guidance of Assisi Development Foundation and its development partners. The IP students of the Pamulaan Center for Indigenous Education served as the work force and host for this event. They were complemented by 11 staff from the Assisi Development Foundation, Pamulaan Center and Tugdaan Development Center.

THE KALINDOGAN CHRONICLES

Kalindogan Arrival Day

19 OCTOBER, Sunday Arrival

The Pamulaan students eagerly awaited the arrival of the youth delegates and some elders. They finished propping up the University of Southeastern Philippines (USP) Gymnasium and the Pamulaan Center premises, the venues for the Kalindogan 2008. Within the day, delegates started to come and register.

Katutubong Laro

At mid-afternoon, as soon as the majority of the delegates were accounted for, the Kalindogan 2008 Steering Committee sounded the gong for the delegates to come together at the USP Gymnasium to play some indigenous games or Katutubong Laro.

The games enlivened the initial encounter among the youth delegates, many of whom were first-time Kalindogan participants. The games also brought out the cultural flavors of childhood and youthful activities.

Orientation and Acquaintance

In the evening, the orientation and acquaintance was conducted at the USP Gymnasium. While waiting for others to come, some Pamulaan students started sharing the lyrics and choreography of the songs, “This is Our Way” and “This is Our Dream”.

To kick-off the session, the hosts, Roy Bayon (Bagobo) and Grace Sumael (Manuvo), both Pamulaan students requested the delegates to come up with their respective yells and actions as a way of introducing each organization. The gymnasium beamed with youthful energy, creativity, laughter and camaraderie as each organization was called to execute its self-introduction. 5

Mr. Jenifer Serrano (Bagobo) led the opening prayer. He implored the Higher Beings to guide everyone to make the Kalindogan a successful and memorable event. After the prayer, the hosts randomly asked several delegates how they felt. One delegate said that she was happy because it was her first time to join the Kalindogan and meet so many Lumads. The other youth participants shared that they were glad because many indigenous peoples were able to come together again and that for the first time, the event was managed by the youth. One delegate expressed that in the midst of the current harsh realities besetting the indigenous peoples, the indigenous youth were gathered to find out the roots of the problems and band together to have our voice and strive for peace. Mr. Gabriel Linggay (Umajamnon) delivered the welcome remarks. He explained the reasons for the yearly conduct of Kalindogan. In putting forth the importance of the saying, “Ang kabataan ay pag-asa ng bayan” (the youth are the hope of a nation), he used the analogy of the broom stick of which its individual strands have to be together in order to be able to do its role. In similar vein, the youth of today have a role to play, thus they must group together to contribute in attaining peace, unity and development. In the course of the three-day gathering of the youth, he hoped that the delegates would value the importance of the Kalindogan 2008 and that all would contribute in attaining peace and unity. After his talk, the assigned delegates led in singing the Kalindogan theme song “Sama-sama” which was first sang in 2006. To creatively introduce the delegates and elicit ideas on what the youth could do for peace, the hosts introduced the game “Bahay, Bagyo, Tao”. In the game, the hosts requested the delegates to form groups of 3’s. and each group would form a house-- two delegates held hands to form a house while the third member stayed at the center. Then the host would randomly utter the words “Bagyo, Bahay, Tao” and the last word would signal the next move of the delegates—if the last word was “Tao”, the person at the center would go out and look for another house. If the word “Bahay” was heard, then the two persons who formed a house would go out and separately look for a delegate (“Tao”) without a house. If the word was “Bagyo”, then all the participants would scamper to find their own group of 3’s and form a house. In each round, the members of each group of 3’s formed would introduce each other and their 6

organizations. The game was done several times. In each round, those who failed to look for their own groups of 3’s would be punished later. On the last round, each trio was asked to share their views on the question, “As a youth, what can he/she do for peace”. After the sharing, the hosts randomly asked each trio to share their answers. (*to insert pictures of bagyo-bahay-tao activity) To help in ensuring the orderliness of the Kalindogan and make the participants self-propelling, two Steering Committee members (Ms. Kristine Sumalabe and Ms. Yvonne Daisa) took turns in explaining the lined-up activities, house rules, locations of the common facilities (such as the bathrooms, dining areas), food stubs, system of reimbursements of travel expenses,, and the mechanics and judging criteria of the poster-making, poem writing and song writing contests. The actual presentations of the entries for the poems, posters and songs would be presented on the evening of October 20, the second day of Kalindogan 2008. The announcement of winners would be done on the last day of the youth congress. Lastly, the participants were requested to write down their expectations on the Kalindogan 2008 using a prepared guide questions. The orientation was capped by the performance of the Babanam, an all-male band composed of five Pamulaan students. Guide Questions for the Expectation-checking 1.

THE KALINDOGAN CHRONICLES

Kalindogan Day 1

19 OCTOBER, Sunday Interfaith Morning Celebration

At the break of dawn, the BIYST, the activity host, sounded the gong to signal the start of the morning praise and inter-faith morning celebration at the Pamulaan Amphitheatre. Inay Pacita, a Higa-onon elder, led the morning praise and gave thanks to the Almighty God for all His goodness through a song which she rendered in Tagalog and Higaonon. Another prayer in the vernacular was offered by Kim Ansay (Pulangihon Manobo). Later, Ergie Lantong (Pulangihon Manobo) led the morning exercises.

Opening Ritual

The Matigsalog and Alangan Mangyan tribes led in performing their respective rituals to invoke the guidance and blessings from the good spirits for the Kalindogan 2008 activities. To start the Panubadtubad, a ritual of the Matigsalog tribe, Datu Santos Cabantao placed betel nuts and coins on a plate as offerings. Other participants were also invited to put coins on the plate. The Datu chanted a prayer and then cut the chicken’s head to find out what the message of the spirits was for the Kalindogan 2008. He explained that if the head was pointed to the south, the Kalindogan activity would bring good results and please the spirits. If the head was pointed to the north, this meant that an untoward incident or problem might happen. Based on the resulting position of the chicken, Datu Santos said that the spirits were agreeable to the conduct of the Kalindogan 2008 and that good results were forthcoming.

Mr. Recardo Lintawagin, an elder from the Alangan Mangyan tribe, performed the “Tau-Tau” ritual to ward off evil spirits. He went around the amphitheatre and uttered the words “Tau-Tau” many times. After the rituals, all went to the USP Gym for the opening programme.

Interfaith Morning Celebration

The day’s emcees, Mr. Clint Sambili (Talaandig) and Ms. Ergie Lantong (Pulangihon Manobo), started the session with a roll call of all the organizations, ethnic groups and places represented in the congress. They then requested delegates to help each other recall the events of the previous day. They also introduced an ice-breaker. Mr. Jed Africa, Technical Assistant of the Assisi Development Foundation, presented the expectations of each organization as well as the objectives of the Kalindogan 2008.

SUMMARY OF PARTICIPANTS’ EXPECTATIONS

• Issues and experiences of the various indigenous peoples in the country; their struggles and problems, issues on how they promote, preserve and protect their tribes, and on socio-political and economic concerns (frequency of responses: 7); • The various responses of indigenous peoples to their problems, • Topics that are relevant and applicable to the present conditions and issues of the IPs (3) • Deeper discussion on the tri-people and how to achieve peace • Existing youth organizations • Gain knowledge on the cultures, dances, songs of the different tribes in the Philippines (2) • How to strengthen awareness among IP youth • Gain knowledge on peace issues and how sustainable peace can be attained in one’s CONTENTS

Mr. Benjamin Abadiano, president of the Assisi Development Foundation and brainchild of the Kalindogan, explained why the Kalindogan was being conducted for the last three years. He said that based on discussions with elders, there was a realization that the youth have not been given enough opportunities to participate in development, yet they too have to face the harsh realities of being indigenous peoples. The youth still have small voices but together, their voices can become big. The dream of Kalindogan is to strengthen the capacity, self-worth and self-identity of the indigenous youth. The organizers of the Kalindogan believed that the youth are the future leaders of the communities and the country, thus, there was a need to create a venue for these youth to unite their voices and actions. The youth could be a formidable force in promoting peace. In previous years, the Kalindogan focused on indigenous peoples’ realities. This year, the Kalindogan focused on skills and writing proposals (these will be supported). Another difference was that for the last two years, only indigenous youth were invited. This year, delegates from the Bangsamoro and non-indigenous youth were included in order to pave the way for more tri-people interactions so that different points of views on what is happening around us will be discussed to attain peace.

A Glimpse of the Kalindogan 2007 and IP Youth Unity Statement

Mr. Abadiano led in the PowerPoint presentation of the Kalindogan 2007 which was held on October 16-19 at the USP Mintal Campus, Davao City. The congress theme was “Strengthening Solidarity Among Indigenous Youth in Asserting Indigenous Peoples’ Rights”. The focus of the thematic presentations and workshops were the following: Land Rights, Environment, Livelihood, Education, Self-governance and Culture, Peace, Human Rights and Laws. Aside from the thematic presentations by key resource speakers and workshops by the youth participants, the Kalindogan 2007 also had a presentation on the initial assessment of the implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997, dialogues with elders, IP youth network meeting, solidarity nights, and workshops on plan of actions of each of the participating organizations. In addition, to celebrate the artistic expressions of the indigenous youth, there was a poster writing contest with the theme “Indigenous youth towards cultural empowerment and peace building”. Lastly, the participants came up with the IP Youth Unity Statement.

For the presentation of the IP Youth Unity Statement 2007, the day’s emcees requested the representatives of the participating organizations to lead in reading the statement. To cap the session, all sang the Kalindogan theme song, “One Voice, One Vision”.

Keynote Address

Mr. Francis Lingkit (Higa-onon) introduced the keynote speaker Ms. Richel Daonlay (Talaandig). In her speech, she said that the recent ratification of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was another inspiration for all IPs of the world to assert for IP rights. The future of the IPs and their communities as well as the next generations depended on the youth’s commitment to serve and to love others – IP, Muslims and non-IP and non-Muslims-- with the end in view of achieving long lasting peace. Hopefully, the congress can help strengthen the youth’s commitment and dreams. The presence of elder delegates could guide the congress’ youth delegates in valuing the IP culture and history. The youth can very well contribute in continuing the dreams and hopes of our elders. Thus, there was a need for the youth to unite, cooperate, and show concern and love for one another.

Our Roots and History For the session, four IP elders were invited to share on the roots and history of indigenous peoples. They were: • Panglima Carlos Malodin, Pala’wan tribe in Palawan; • Mr. Ruel Morfing, Teduray tribe of Upi, Maguindanao, • Mr. Aniw Lubag, Hanunuo Mangyan of Occidental Mindoro; Vice-chairperson of Kapulungan Para sa Lupang Ninuno (KPLN); • Datu Marcial Daul, Arumanon Manobo of North Cotabato.

Pala’wan Story. Panglima Carlos Malodin shared that before the Spaniards came, their leaders were called “Raja”. During the Spanish period, the southern part of Palawan was invaded by the Muslims. The Pala’wan defended their people and territory but their simple defense tools could not much the superior weapons of the Muslims, thus they were defeated. The occupation of the Muslims had also reached certain part of Mindanao and Malaysia. Intermarriages between Muslims and Pala’wan also happened. For example, when Sultan Kudarat from Mindanao arrived in Palawan, he took notice of a Pala’wan lass and made her as one of his wives. He believed that until now the Muslims want to occupy certain parts of Palawan such as Bataraza, Brookes Point and Balabac. The Pala’wan people do not want to be occupied by the Bangsamoro because they have their own culture and rituals and belief in God.

Teduray Story. Mr. Ruel Morfing narrated that in olden times, there were people who lived along the coastal areas in Maguindanao. There were two orphaned brothers —Mamalu and Tabunaway. Mamalu, the elder brother took it upon himself to nurture the younger brother, Tabunaway. However, a messenger from Arabia named Shariff Kabungsuan encouraged Tabunaway to convert into Islam religion. Mamalu did not object to the desire of the brother and even gave the coastal territory to the brother. Mamalu went up to the mountains to start anew. Every harvest time, the older brother would give his harvested crops to the brother. In return, Tabunaway would give Mamalu fish and other sea foods. Thus, Mamalu was considered as the ancestor of the Teduray while Tabunaway was the ancestor the Moro people living along the coastal areas in Maguindanao. Mr. Morfing further said that the Teduray people are guided by customary laws such as the “Ukit” (rules of conduct of a Teduray), “Kitab” (how to manage the tribe) and “Tegudon” (sacred signs and activities). 14

Hanunuo Mangyan Story. Mr. Lubag shared that the Hanunoo Mangyan traced their origin from the couple Inapay (female) and Amalahi (male). Together with their children, Daga-Daga and Pallos, they settled peacefully along the coastal areas. They subsisted on farming and fishing. Their children in turn also married other Mangyan, thus, their clan increased in number. At that time, there were already Spanish and Tagalog settlers in their territories. A clan member, “Tingkaw” was accused of courting a non-IP—a forbidden practice among the Mangyan in those times. Consequently, he was punished by being thrown into the ocean. Luckily, he survived because he was believed to have a special power—he came back as a “Bulalacao” or shooting star. Thus, the current name of the municipality of Bulalacao was named after him. In the course of the peopling of the Mangyan, the communities encountered a lot of hardships and fighting with the outsiders who wanted to occupy their place. Until now, the Mangyan are still residing in their ancestral domains, proof that they were not overpowered by the outsiders. Arumanen Manobo Story. To start his talk, Datu Daul threw some rice grains to the audience as a sign of respect. He shared that since the 1950s, there were already Arumanen Manobo who had opportunities to study. The current batch of college students enrolled in various schools (ncluding at the Pamulaan Center) was the tenth generation of Arumanen Manobo students. He mentioned many names of ancestors whom several tribes such as the Arumanen Manobo, Blaan, Bagobo became their descendants. He also cited many studies conducted which showed the peopling of the Philippines in relation to Asia. However, he lamented that in the past, the researches on the history of indigenous peoples were done through individual interviews and that these researches did not recognize oral history. Fortunately, current research undertakings are now conducted in partnership with the community.

THE LIVING HERITAGE OF PHILIPPINE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES The heritage center serves as our voice to the world. It speaks a clear message: we live among you, and we are part of you. we have established this place so that we may share with you, our life, history, beliefs , values, rituals, traditions, and knowledge, skills, practices ,technology, as well as our hopes and aspiration as people. This is a home of living traditions A distinctive and honorable place where past and present experiences as well as their dreams and aspirations are recognized celebrated and shared. Through this place, they hope to reach out to the world as one people, the Filipino Indigenous People. This is a work of our hands, hearts and minds. May everything you see, hear, touch, and think about in this place connect us all the more to you. And may they guide you to that profound discovery of your own indigenous self.

Launching of the Living Heritage Center

The occasion started with the introduction of the following guests of honor and elders: Giovanni Reyes (KASAPI), Iya Pacita (Higaonon elder), Atty. Carlos Buasen (NCIP Director), Datu Alsaliling (Arumanen Manobo), Dr. Marcelo Angelia (Dean, USP College of Governance, Business and Economics), Mr. Rizalino Segundo (Commissioner for Region 2 of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples or NCIP), Zenaida Pawid (Cordillera Peoples Forum), Datu Marcial Daul (Arumanen Manobo elder), Dr. Daniel Ugay (USP Vice-President for Academic Affairs), and Dr. Haluthot of USP.

Ms. Jennelyn Demagajes (Teduray), a Pamulaan student, delivered the welcome remarks. She said that the Living Heritage Center was an important gift for their ancestors, elders, parents and next generations of indigenous peoples. The Center would indeed contribute in preserving and protecting the indigenous cultures and materials. Thus, this Center would be a challenge for the IP youth to do their share. After her speech, the guests of honor, elders and delegates walked to the Living Heritage Center.

The inspirational message of Dr. Perfecto A. Alibin, USP president, was read by Dr. Daniel Ugay. The USP President commended the organizers and IP youth for organizing the Kalindogan 2008 which he believed, from the point of view of the academic institution, was an example of initiatives that served as a catalyst in improving the educational landscape of the country. He expressed the USPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to pursue and share knowledge among indigenous youths of different faiths and cultures from various communities in the country. He believed that the IP youth are truly capable of bringing sustainable peace in our country and thus, they should be supported and guided.

Commissioner Rizalino Segundo responded by saying that other IPs who were able to receive college degrees opted to go abroad as overseas contract workers. However, at Pamulaan Center, the students were encouraged to serve the community to fight for their ancestral domains. He commended the Assisi Development Foundation and other NGOs for putting up an educational institution that emphasized IP cultures. Fortunately, there were also several schools in other parts of the country who were doing the same. In this regard, NCIP was very much supportive of such undertakings.

Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte of Davao City also sent his congratulatory message through his representative who read his prepared speech. Mayor Duterte said that both the Kalindogan 2008 and the launching of the Living Heritage Center were noble undertakings because these celebrated the history and life of many tribes in the country, especially in Mindanao. They have diverse cultures and traditions, yet have been left behind in terms of development programs. The projects at Pamulaan would be helpful in understanding the IPs, finding future programs and fostering solidarity. To this effect, the city government of Davao extended its support to the Pamulaan. In introducing the Living Heritage Center, Ms. Kristine Sumalabe (Mandaya), a Pamulaan student read the caption posted at the entrance of the Center. Then, she requested all the guests and participants to walk to the Living Heritage Center. At the Living Heritage Center, the ritual “Pamalas” and the Christian blessing were performed. The “Pamalas”, a Matigsalog ritual, was performed by Datu Cabantao who was assisted by Oscar Sarahan, a Pamulaan student. As explained by the Datu, the Pamalas is a ritual to drive away bad spirits. Thus, this ritual was being performed so that the Living Heritage Center will be orderly and sustainable. Datu Cabantao prayed to the Higher Beings to seek permission for the conduct of the ritual. Then he held the wings of the live chicken with one hand and sway the fowl while raying in Matigsalog language. Then he struck the chicken on the door of the Heritage Center and waited for its eventual demise, marking the end of the ritual. After the ritual, everybody took turns in viewing the Heritage Center.

Synthesis of the Session on IP Roots and History and Launching of the Living Heritage Center

Brother Karl Gaspar provided the synthesis of the session on IP roots and history as well as the significance of the launching of the Living Heritage Center. To start the session, he solicited some reactions from the youth delegates. Essentially, the delegates felt proud and encouraged to continue asserting for their rights. One wished that a heritage center would also be constructed in their community.

Brother Karl Gaspar emphasized the importance of the sustainability of indigenous cultures. In the academe and among studies conducted by students, there was a strong acceptance of the indigenous knowledge system. In addition, despite the presence of post-colonial influences among indigenous peoples and Philippine society in general, there was a strong desire to overcome our colonial mindsets. Through our elders and ancestors, these would be given proper attention. In particular, in our educational system, there was a need to value the indigenous governance system.

Sadly, the Philippine governance system does not give importance to indigenous governance system nor respect the ancestral domains of the IPs. Similarly, the impact of colonialism and globalization, as well as the traditional belief system were not given their urgent attention. The elements that provide our identity as IPs are our culture, our environment, our dance, etc. Our stream and bodies of water gave us life and meaning as a people. We have all the goodness and variety of our cultures which enable us to proudly face the world. In similar vein, if we saw our material culture, as shown in the Living Heritage Center, we could not help but be awed with our cultures. Thus, it is a challenge for us to make the Living Heritage Center to become one of the best. More importantly, the Living Heritage Center offered a new concept of museum workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;exhibiting not only the materials used by our dead ancestors, but more significantly, showcasing the gathering of people, of their issues, of their marginalization and oppression. This museum would become living reminders of the struggles of our ancestors then and our continuing struggles in our current history. It would be a source of inspiration to unite for the liberation of the IPs and the country.

Current Realities and Challenges

Ms. Almiranor Siberia (Higaonon) introduced the resource speakers and emceed the session. There were three topics/ themes delivered by the following resource speakers:

• • •

Peace and Conflict Issues by Mrs. Zenaida Pawid, an Ifugao and a former teacher who now works as a development worker and a leader of the Cordillera Peoples Forum; Environmental Degradation and Development Aggressions by Mr. Dave de Vera, Executive Director of PAFID, and Food Security by Ms. Mary Luz Menguita-Feranil, Executive Director of AFRIM.

For the topic on peace and conflict issues, Mrs. Pawid or Manang Briggs said that there would never be peace until people talked to each other in a process of dialogue and listening; that there would never be consensus building until there was consensus speaking. For the IPs, at the minimum, consensus building entailed speaking out each other’s “sama ng loob” or resentments. From there, the quest for justice would be pursued. Among the Ibaloi, “peace” is “umpah” or to keep still and be centered; knowing why one were quiet and at peace with oneself. The IPs of today have been beset by issues of militarization, development aggressions, environmental destruction, etc. which were threats to peace and development. She challenged the youth to be proud of being IPs and to go back to their roots through their elders and parents. Their education will give them wings so that in turn, they could also pass on their cultural traditions to the next generations. She believed that the youth had a role to play in attaining peace and in the decolonization process of the IPs today.

For the second topic on environmental degradation and development aggressions, Mr. Dave de Vera shared that as in the past, the various forms of aggression on the IPs and their ancestral territories have wrought havoc on their ecology and livelihood. In particular, large-scale mining remained to be a grave threat to the natural habitats of indigenous peoples. However, these different forms of development aggression should not only be the concern of indigenous communities because environmental degradation definitely would affect all citizens, not only now but in the future.

For the topic on food security, Mrs. Feranil made a PowerPoint presentation that depicted the food situation in Mindanao, its roots, impact and challenges. Food security was linked to food sovereignty of a country wherein according to La Via Campesina, each country has the “right to maintain and develop its own capacity to produce its basic foods-- respecting cultural and productive diversity.” She showed the irony of Mindanao as being the country’s food basket yet experiencing food insecurity and serious poverty situation. She pointed out several factors that contributed to the hunger and poverty in Mindanao and these were inconsistent government policies, incomprehensive agrarian reform, limited funding support to agriculture, trade liberalization, social inequalities, among others. She posed several challenges to the issue of food security such as good governance, peoples’ collective actions, government’s budget prioritization for food production, etc.

Current Realities and Challenges The story-telling session with the elders was organized at the Pamulaan Amphitheatre. The opening prayer was led by Mr. Gabriel Linggay (Umajamnon), a Pamulaan student. To enliven the session, the song “This is our Dream” was collectively sang. The leaders were introduced b y Ms. Kristine Sumalinab (Mandaya), a Pamulaan student. The elders were Datu Ampuan (Theodore Sulda, Manobo); Panglima Carlos Malodin (Pala’wan); Datu Alsaliling (Arumanen Manobo); and Inay Pacita (Higaonon). The story telling sessions were complemented by cultural numbers from the various delegates, namely the Cordillera group, Babanam and Richard Makalunas. Pala’wan History. According to Panglima Carlos Malodin, the Pala’wan tribe had a history of warfare with the Spaniards and Muslims. Their communities were surrounded by mountains and rich in forest resources, herbal medicines, and animals. When the foreign invaders came, many Pala’wan became slaves but others fought and sadly, many died. Later, there were intermarriages between the Muslims and Pala’wan tribe.

Manobo History. Datu Ampuan of Bukidnon started his talk by sharing that among the Manobo tribe anybody who wanted to listen to the stories of the elders must give a coin as a symbol of seeking permission to hear the stories of the tribe. In this regard, some of the members of the audience placed coins near Datu Ampuan. He narrated the legend of the seven tribes of Bukidnon. He said that there were seven siblings who went to different directions. They were all given copies of the indigenous writings. However, his ancestor ate the writings after reading it, thus their tribe did not have an alphabet. His ancestor went up the mountain called “Apulan” which was surrounded by the ocean. It was said that this place was the site of the first fire and the people who made the first fire were called the Manobo. Later, their community was devastated by floods, thus, they had to go down to a place now called “Cotabato”. Soon, a Muslim missionary, Shariff Kabungsuan came. There were two siblings who chose to have different religions—one became a Islam while the other retained his indigenous identity and went up the mountains. Before they separated, these siblings divided a plate and promised to each other that when they would see each other again, they would put together the two pieces so that they could eat on the same plate again. Thus, the next generations of tribes in Bukidnon were considered as siblings.

Arumanen Manobo Story. In sharing the meaning of culture, Apo Alsaliling used the analogy of the three kinds of fowls—the goose (‘Gansa”), water duck (“Itik”), and duck (“Pato”). He said that all these fowls had common traits and features, i.e., all lay eggs, have feathers and bills. However, they also differed. For example, the g ‘ ansa” did not lay many eggs, could not walk far, and was noisy when there were people. The “itik” laid eggs anyway and walked in flocks. The “pato” laid and hatched its eggs in a specific place. Thus, like these fowls, culture was not uniformly practiced by a tribe. Culture was the embodiment of the material culture, language, practices, etc. A tribe was identified and respected through its culture, language and practices.

THE KALINDOGAN CHRONICLES

Kalindogan Day 2

20 OCTOBER, Monday Interfaith Morning Celebration

To start the dawn activity at the Pamulaan Amphitheatre, the Kaliwat Ke Apro Agyu led a group exercise which was facilitated by Mr. Alih Llesis (Talaandig). Then another Kaliwat member led the prayer while a flute rendition was being performed by Kenny Bayudan. The closing prayer was done by Revodin Arian (Higaonon).

Updates on Forging Partnerships for Peace

The emcees, Mr. Alih Llesis (Talaandig) and Ms. Kristine Mae Sumalinab (Mandaya) started the session with an opening prayer which was led by Aljemar Alin (Tausug). The emcees then requested the participants to recall the previous dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events. Then, Mr. Benjamin Abadiano shared the updates on the Forging Partnership for Peace (FPP) activities. He said that the FPP which started in 2004, was a gathering of hundreds of adults from the ranks of indigenous peoples communities and organizations and support groups nationwide. The members of the Steering Committees included the Assisi Development Foundation, Anthropology Watch, PAFID, NTFP, GZO, Cartwheel, CPF, among others. The themes of the 2007 FPP were the same as the themes of the Kalindogan 2007 because the organizers of the Kalindogan wanted to know the perspectives of the youth on these themes. Like the Kalindogan 2007, the FPP 2008 also had a unity statement which was published on the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Another output of the FPP 2008 was the regularity of meetings among selected representatives chosen from the FPP delegates. The issues discussed in the recently conducted FPP 2008 were on education, peace issues (such as conflicts between the NPA and the military), human rights violations, access to basic services, developmental aggression, and land issues (such as problems on acquisition of the CADT). In addition, IP governance issues were also discussed within the themes. Among the developments on the issue on IP education were the formulation of a policy by the Department of Education on integrating indigenous knowledge in elementary education, and an initiative of the USP on a consortium for higher education for IPs.

Lumad Statement on the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity

The topic was handled by Timuay Santos Unsad, a Teduray from Upi, Maguindanao. Aided by a PowerPoint presentation, he shared that since the controversial Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on ancestral domain between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the MILF Peace Panel broke out in public, there were several consultations held among indigenous peoples. In the MOA certain territories of indigenous peoples in Mindanao and Palawan were included. This became a source of concern of indigenous peoples and support groups especially in Mindanao and Palawan. Several IP position papers were drafted in the course of the various consultations among the IPs networks and communities. On August 26-27, 2008 there was a consultation in Cagayan de Oro which attempted to consolidate all the varying positions that surfaced. The basic contention of the IPs was said eloquently by the resource speaker who said that even before the present form of government was established, even before the Christian and Islam came to their territories came, the Lumad already existed, together with the stars and the brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Manobo, Teduray and Blaan were already there.

SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP RESULTS: What do you feel in this Kalindogan 2008? • HAPPY because there is mutual sharing of experiences; got to know each other; was able to join the Kalindogan; was able to meet other tribes; learned about the different cultures and about our Muslim brothers and sisters; learned many things; there is unity; learned that peace is attainable; first time to join; • SAD because misunderstanding occurs, the leaders are themselves selling IP lands; there is development aggression; does not know what will happen in the future; • HAPPY AND SAD because before there was peace in our community but now there is conflict and even our culture is disappearing and there is no unity; • CONFUSED because he/she does not know why conflicts between Christians and Muslims happen; • CHALLENGED by the issues; • HOPEFUL to reach our goals and dreams; learned possible solutions to the issues and how people can be united again; • HURTFUL because other people views the Bangsamoro people as killers and wife-stealers; there is war in Mindanao and people are dying; has personal experience in a armed conflict situation;

Updates on Forging Partnerships for Peace

The session focused on the tri-people dialogues among the participants who comprised the indigenous peoples, Muslims and lowland settlers. To create the proper perspective and atmosphere in the conduct of intercultural dialogues, Ms. Madet Galdiola, an independent development consultant, started the session with a short lecture on certain guidelines for dialogue. GUIDELINES FOR DIALOGUE • Begin with silence • Allow time for everyone to speak • Allow silent space between contributions • Express yourself in personal in term using “I” rather than “we” • Suspend your judgment Then she divided the delegates into ten groups – each group should be composed of tri-people and a team of documenters. The tri-people dialogue was guided by the following questions: • • •

What do you feel in this Kalindogan 2008? What are the common issues that we face? What are the actions to resolve these issues?

After the dialogues, each group shared the results in the plenary through creative presentations—group yell, song rendition, dramatization, tableau, story-telling style, and dance.

What are the common issues that we face? LAND/NATURAL RESOURCE-RELATED ISSUES • Ancestral domain conflict/ land conflict experienced by the tri-people; • Right of the IP over their lands is not respected; • Mining in ancestral domains; • Environmental problems such as logging; denuding forests; • Development aggression • The value of the CADT is not effective anymore because mining companies can operate in ancestral domains; 23

After the presentations, Ms. Gladiola requested three representatives from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to share their insights and feelings after the dialogues. Joel Dahosay (Matigsalog), a Pamulaan student said that the IPs had rich cultures; that he felt respectful of oneself, his family and other people; that there was a need to unite and open the minds of those who were in slumber. Dexter Condez (Ati from Boracay) said that his spirit was awakened by just listening and sharing during the inter-cultural dialogues. Arman R. Quezon (Palawan) felt proud that he observed the growing unity in the congress; that peace building should be started now and not tomorrow. Then, Ms. Gladiola made a synthesis of the entire session through a PowerPoint presentation. She said that the IPs are peacemakers and as much as possible would not want to use arms. Peace was attained within oneself first. Then the person engages in dialogue with others in the community. However, peace should be attained with justice. She challenged the youth to contribute in peace building because they too have a say or stake in its attainment. Some of the ways of building peace among the youth were doing advocacy on IP rights in schools and communities in non-violent ways, strengthening unity, fostering the bayanihan spirit, continuing education-in-action, learning to listen and starting to listen within oneself; and practicing respect and cooperation within the family, community and the world. Finally, she presented a diagram on the holistic understanding of a culture of peace. To cup the session, Ms. Gladiola showed a short video presentation on peace building.

Community Peace-Building Initiatives

The resource speaker, Mr. Pio Fuentes, Program Manager of PEACEPATHS Program of the Assisi Development Foundation started his session with a video showing entitled “Towards a Lasting Peace: The PEACEPATHS Program of Assisi”. He explained that currently the PEACEPATHS Program is involved in a series of training on peace building for community workers, leaders and peace advocates and implementation of peace-promoting projects such as construction of water system, sustainability agriculture, health centers, etc. These endeavors are conducted in partnership with various Muslim and indigenous communities in Mindanao. (To insert a collage of pictures of PEACEPATHS activities). 24

• The leaders are themselves selling the ancestral lands and have become dealers of mining companies; IP RIGHTS • IP rights not enjoyed by the IPs; DISCRIMINATION • Discrimination against IPs—e.g., views that IP is uneducated Muslim is brave, Christian is modern; • Discrimination against Muslims-- viewed as killers and wife-stealers; CONFLICT IN MINDANAO • unclear understanding on the why communities are in conflict situations, e.g., war in Mindanao, issue on the MOA; • IP and Muslims are victims of armed conflicts; military encounter between government troops and NPA; • The issue of MOA; • Kidnapping in Sulu CULTURE • How to promote IP culture/IP culture is disintegrating; • Identity conflict of mestizo IP; • Researches of other groups being used as capital (cultural commercialization) BASIC SERVICES • Lack of basic services such as education • Scarcity of food PARTICIPATION OF THE YOUTH • The voice of the youth is not heard; • Out of school youth DISUNITY • Communities are disunited; • Intergroup conflict • Personal interest; • Different projects from different organizations;

ROLE OF GOVERNMENT • The government does not have equal treatment of IP and non-IPs; • government does not respect the rights of IPs; • no justice for people who died in the course of armed encounters.

The topic was led by Mr. Giovanni Reyes, a Kankana-ey and a KASAPI consultant. Using his prepared paper, he started his talk with his observations on how the outsiders treated the IPs and their territories, and why development projects were implemented in IP lands and sacred places. He explained that the youth are indispensable and are in a pivotal position and age to become peace advocates for several reasons—their ages overlapped childhood and adulthood stages; they are free of certain huge responsibilities such as earning a living and political obligations; they are in a condition of idealism and they could make long range decisions. To help the youth delegates appreciate their role in peace building, he shared his experiences in the peace and conflict resolution in Cordilleras in the 1980s when he was still a youth living in Sagada. He explained how the indigenous forms of conflict resolutions, body of customary law, traditional ceremonies and rituals were upheld by the elders and various communities, and these effectively facilitated the promotion of peace in the Cordillera Region. He said that many youth in the Cordilleras nowadays are unaware of the peace building efforts in the past. He also feared that these days, there might not be crossfire anymore in the region, but the roots of the armed conflict are still there. He wondered how the youth leaders of today could manage the armed conflicts if these happened again. He stressed that there was no substitute for community participation in crafting any peace building plans and that the plans should be for the good of the community so that community consent could be gained.

The workshops on the role of the youth was facilitated by Mr. Benjamin Abadiano who informed the youth delegates to formulate a one-year action plan using the format below:

What are the actions to resolve these issues? as a youth, what can you do to become catalyst of peace? At the Individual Level: • Start within your self; be a good model to yourself, family and community; be humble; listen more, talk less; • Peace should start within ourselves; respecting others is one way to achieve peace; peace starts in home; • Should understand the various sides of an issue first before reacting; • Studying in Pamulaan is a huge challenge to become strong in facing problems in their community and not to be afraid; • Pamulaan students should share to their communities what they have learned in school; • The power of prayer; • Sharing information with others; At the Community Level: • Solve problems through community dialogues; • Information and dissemination campaign • Give opportunity to the youths to speak out • Unity of the youths and the tri-people can be done by respecting each other’s cultures and personhood; • Foster unity and cooperation so that the government can listen to our problems such as the mining issue; • Community organizing; establish peoples’ organizations; conduct seminars on community organizing; • Assert our rights in a peaceful manner; • “Plan what you do, do what you plan”

Proposal Writing

Mr. Giovanni Soledad, Program Manager of the Indigenous Peoples Program of the Assisi Development Foundation gave a lecture on project proposal writing using a PowerPoint presentation. The lecture focused on the definition and importance of a project proposal, parts of a project proposal, and how to write a project proposal. In using the analogy of the mongo experiment which was part of a science activity in high school, Mr. Soledad was able to instill in the minds of the delegates the process and value of a good project proposal that should consider the external environment, bring relevance, and able to measure results and benefits to the target beneficiaries/partner community. After the session, the participants were requested to draft their respective project proposals on their own time but these should be ready for the plenary presentation the following day.

Intercultural Solidarity Night

The evening activity started with a community singing of the song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Our Wayâ&#x20AC;?. Before the presentations of the song and poem entries by the contestants or their representatives, the assigned Steering Committee members announced the criteria for judging for the three categories of the art contests. For the poem and song-writing competitions, the criteria were relevance of the content to the Kalindogan 2008 theme (60%) and presentation (40%). For the poster-making contest, the criteria for judging were: creativity (30%), relevance to the Kalindogan 2008 theme (30%), mastery of the medium used (30%), and universality to identity (10%). The presentations of the poem and song entries of the various youth organizations and individuals were interspersed with the cultural numbers offered by each tribe. The emcess also announced that the poster entries would be displayed at the amphitheatre for public viewing the following day The night ended with a community dance led by the Badjao and Tausug groups.

THE KALINDOGAN CHRONICLES

Kalindogan Day 3

20 OCTOBER, Monday Interfaith Morning Celebration

The gongs reverberated several times at the crack of dawn. The delegates from the Cordilleras started the interfaith morning celebration with a prayer by Joef Yangyang while assigned members played the bamboo flute and agong, and sang the song “Hossana Tikala”, a way of praising God by the Bontoc tribe. Then the facilitating group led the morning stretching exercise while some Cordillera songs were played. The “Turayan”, a bird dance of the Kalinga tribe, was also taught to the participants.

Presentation of Proposals

Mr. Benjamin Abadiano and Mr. Pio Fuentes led in critiquing the eleven proposals presented. Based on their comments on the proposals presented, the following served as additional tips and reminders on project proposal making:

TIPS/REMINDERS ON PROJECT PROPOSAL MAKING • Provide a more substantive write-up on the situation that the proposal wanted to change; cite what have been done in the community to explain the development gaps and therefore the need for the project or to identify other service providers that can help in the project ; • Come up with clear project management system; • Think of a good project title that captures what the project wants to do; • The project title should match the time frame of the project, i.e., not too big for a short time period; • The project objectives should match the time frame of the project, i.e., the objectives should be attainable within the project time period; • Determine the sustainability of the project (such as collaborative efforts with other groups, how the project will be sustained after the project period, etc.); • Clear description on the project proponent; • Clarify the expected project results; • Clarity on the target beneficiaries of the project; • The targets (e.g. beneficiaries, results, activities) should be realistic given the set time frame and analysis of the situation. • Expound on the role of the youth in the project given the situations of the youth

Closing Programme

Mr. Benjamin Abadiano, the facilitator, started the session by asking volunteers from each tribe to share their feelings and insights now that Kalindogan 2008 was about to end. All expressed happiness for various reason—such as, it was his/her first time to encounter other tribes; first time to attend the Kalindogan; did not feel any discrimination among delegates; first time for USP to be part of the Kalindogan programme; first to visit Davao City and meet many IPs; he/she felt that she/he was not alone as an IP and that there were many tribes who banded together. A Muslim delegate was very elated because the IP delegates were very open with the Muslim delegates and that he/she was hopeful that the Muslims and IPs would attain equality. One shared that peace started from within the heart. One said that he/she could share whatever he/she learned from Kalindogan to his/her tribe. One felt that the Kalindogan was indeed a rare occasion. The facilitator and delegates agreed that the indigenous and Muslim youth were indeed the harbingers of peace.

To capture the camaraderie and quest for peace of all the delegates, Mr. Abadiano said that souvenir bracelets bearing either the word “PEACE” or “KALINDOGAN” would be distributed to each of the delegates. Then each of the delegates were to choose another delegate within his/her vicinity; exchange bracelets and greet each other “Peace”. After the activity, a candle was lighted and passed on to each of the delegates to symbolize that each was responsible to be a harbinger of peace. Then, the song, “This is Our Dream” was sang. Then Mr. Abadiano led in the recognition of people behind the Kalindogan—the Steering Committee members, the sponsors, resource persons, Pamulaan staff, Pamulaan students in charge of food and other technical needs, and Documentation Team. Finally, Ms. Kristine Sumalinab led in announcing the winners of the three contests:

The closing remarks was delivered by Ms, Margielyn Emag (Tagbanwa), Pamulaan student and Congress Director. She thanked everybody for making the Kalindogan 2008 a successful and peaceful youth congress. She hoped that the congress could inspire all to become peace advocates in the communities. She wished that the good start that the congress brought would not start and end within the boundaries of the Kalindogan premises, but would facilitate in opening ourselves to serve as avenues and guiding stars to other youth towards peaceful co-existence. She enjoined everyone to join hands in facing the challenges of real life.

Workshop Results on the Tri-Peoples’ Dialogue WHAT DO YOU FEEL IN THIS KALINDOGAN 2008?

WHAT ARE THE COMMON ISSUES THAT WE FACE?

Group 1: • Masaya dahil: - nagkaroon ng sharing; - nakilala ang bawat isa; - nakasali sa Kalindogan (3); - nakita ang iba’t-ibang tribo (2), culture (1) at mga kapatid na Muslim; - ang partisipasyon sa Kalindogan ay hindi mababayaran ng salapi;

• Bakit ba ang mga Muslim nangunguha ng lupa na hindi nag paalam (3)? • Sino ba ang nasa likod ng kaguluhan ngayon (2)? Ano ba ang dahilan? • Marami sa aming mga katutubo at mga sibilyan ang biktima ng giyera; • Inalisan ng karapatan ang mga.katutubo sa kanilang lupa; apektado ang walang alam; • The issue about MOA has many players being one-sided; hindi lahat mga Muslim ay gusto sa nangyayari. At hindi rin ang mga moro ang pwede sisihin sa lahat dahil kasali na rin diyan ang gobyerno. Ang nakapagbigay ng kaguluhan ang medya dahil ang pinapalabas lang nila ay ang mga negative; • Ang problema sa tribo how to promote culture/ nawawala na ang aming kultura (2). • Marami ang hindi pa alam ang totoong nangyayari sa issue ng Bangsamoro.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL IN THIS KALINDOGAN 2008? Group 4: (Facilitator: Eds Latayan, Higaonon)

WHAT ARE THE COMMON ISSUES THAT WE FACE? • Their community is not in peace because of militarization until now; • Conflict in ancestral domain; • Discrimination and not clear territory; • Feel confused whether to choose Bisaya or IP because of his being a mestizo; • Discrimination—view that Lumad is uneducated, Christian is a modern and Muslim is a brave; this classification results in misunderstanding and conflict; • The root of conflict is personal interest; • Coming of settlers is the beginning of conflict (land grabbing). Settlers binalaan ang Mamanwa na papatayin. The tribe tolerated them as they are very humble people but the settlers abused them and tried to grab their lake; • The lake is the only essential property of the Mamanwa tribe and if it will be destroyed, the income will decrease; • Lack of education is the reason why people are not struggling or weak; • Mining is the main problem which will also affect other lands; • There is no peace in their community-daghang away diri dito.

Sak-en essay umili Sin esa tribo ay naisabsabali Uray kanan dan naiaadawi Yan ad-adoy pan-engan mi

Born in a unique culture Fary yet abiliuties adore Man of prowess, a youth like a star That challenged the darkness of war

Nabiskig ay ipagaw Baro ay kaman talaw Sinan lubong ay nansilaw Tali-ak dasan dontog

I’ll bind all the mountains Where culture keep such chains I’ll chase my brothers

Tapnu naibatu-batog Kakadwa yaan emeyak ikuyog Tapnu adin gatinan dasan nalastog San tupod emeyak imula Tapnu laeng yan bumela Guyudeksan udan Ta binugis ko yan adi-makgang Damag di Diyos emeyak iwaragawag

To plant the seeds of courage So I can reap the basket of knowledge To dragged the rain above To cleanse my culture with love Sharing God’s thoughts Telling the elders’s oath Bounding myself of responsibility

Istoryan dasan nakay yan eyak ilawlawag Respetok sin udom emeyak ipabiag ublak ay dakdake layad ay eyak iyamag

Pabidangen nan kultura Siya’s ken datakon ikan na Ulnos di biag ay naey Ngan na apad tako inik-inikan?

What else shall we do than to nature? The richness of our culture The goodness of life it has gave And taught us to live our lives in peace

Isnan nay’y kaong-ongaan Daklen aped dinukogan kultura’t inka nilipatan Sapay kuma ken kabuniyan

Peace it is Rooted, indeed, in our culture Our culture itself Is God Kabuniyan’s gift

Ta enna et bendisyonan entako pay pumigsaan kultura at insalbaan Sapay kuma isnan gobyerno

Oh, no! what are we doing, in our youthful days? Our origin we deny And much tends to forget

Nan linteg esten tako Nan ramot pay es di kapya Et wada isnan kultura Initdon Diyos ay Kabuniyan

Oh, may Kabuniyan our God, His blessings bestow And give us the strength and courage In our struggle to care his gift

Talna’s b iag mentalid-an siya’y entako natagowan Nangitdo is umpaan Ta baken as mangpatay

To the government we address The laws have keep us be for it affects Ratify then for its affects The way we should have live in peace

Now youth it’s time to open our eyes To see and then must realize If we’ll not care for this gift Could we attain what we call PEACE!

UNTITLED by Bryan SVA PEACE SANTUARY The day has come for the youth to gather From different tribe, all will be togethere To hold hands and act as one To bring long lasting peace for everyone The nation were bounded with a lot of conflicts Because of cultural lapses and differences But the youth’s voice will emerge among the crowd Heads up and stand up proud!!! Our nation is divided because of different cultures But this is our most cherished treasure It is our challenge to merge it is a whole To attain peace in everyone’s soul Like a broken rosary, they said The different tribes, all were divided But the youth will serve as the string of solidarity To make it whole and pronounced its mystery

UNTITLED (Translation) by Bryan SVA PEACE SANTUARY Ang araw ay dumating upang ang kabataan ay magsama-sama Mnla sa iba’t-ibang tribu tayo ay magkaisa Hawak kamay at tayo’y maging isa Upang magdala ng kapayapan sa bawat isa Ang bansa nay sugatan sa mga labanan Nang sa iba’t-ibang kultura at di pagkakaunawaan Ngunit ang boses ng kabataan ay lalabas mula sa pagkakatago Ipagmalaki mo, tatayo tayo ng nakataas noo Ang bansa’y watak-watak dahil sa kulturang naghahatian Ngunit ito ay ang ating pinakakaingatang kayamanan Hamon sa atin na ang paghahatian ay maging buo Upang ang minimithing kapayapaan ay ating matamo Parang gibang rosaryo, ika nga sabi nila Ang lahat ng tribu ay di nagkakaisa Ngunit ang kabataan ang nagsilbing tali para ito’y mabuo Para maging isa at mapahayag ang misteryong natatago

The youth can be like a dove Who nbroke its wings and can’t fly above But today tha youth has healed its broken wings To soar up high and spread the peace its brings

Ang kabataan ay parang kalapating nakasalampak Di makalipad dahil sa baling pakpak Ngunit panahomn na upang maghilom tayo Lilipad ng mataas at ipamahagi ang kapayapaang natamo

Come on youth and let us fly Explore the clouds and flew over the sky Let us flap our wings and be strong For us to give the people, the peace they belong.

Mga kabataan, tayo na at lilipad Suyurin ang mga ulap upang ang pinapangarap ay matupad Ipagaspas ang mga pakpak at maging malakas Upang ihatid sa kapwa ang kapayapang wagas

SPEECHES and PRESENTATIONS

Keynote Address by Richel Daonlay, Pamulaanean

Sa aming piling mga panauhin, iginagalang na mga nakakatanda na naririto ngayon, mga kapwa kabataan na nakikiisa sa pagtitipong ito, isang maligaya at magandang pagbati sa inyo ng magandang umaga. Ang araw na ito ay isang mahalagang pangyayari sa buhay nating mga katutubo dahil pag-uusapan at pagninilayan natin ang mga kasalukuyang hinaharap na pakikibaka ng bawat katutubo sa ating bansa. Tatalakayin din natin ang ibaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tibang tugon na nagawa sa mga kasalukuyang pangyayari sa mga katutubong pamayanan. Ang pagratipika ng United Nation Declaration on Rights of Indigenous People ay isang inspirasyon para sa ating lahat upang patuloy na isulong ang ating mga karapatan bilang mga katutubo. Ang kinabukasan ng ating mga tribo, ng ating pamayanan, at ng mga susunod pang henerasyon ay nakasalalay sa pagtatalaga ng ating mga sarili para sa kapakanan ng iba, pagpapakita ng ating pagmamahal sa ating mga kapwa maging Muslim man o Kristiyano, at higit sa lahat ang ating pag-aalay at paglalaan ng ating mga panahon, kakayahan at buhay para maging daan tungo sa ating mga pinakamimithing kapayapaan para sa mga katutubo at sa lahat ng mga mamamayang Pilipino.

Sa pagsasama nating ito, ay mapupukaw ang ating mga damdamin at isipan na sa gitna man ng mga pinagkait sa ating mga pagkakataon at karapatan ay patuloy pa rin tayong aasa at mangangarap na mapanumbalik natin ang ating ang dignidad bilang mga tao, na naglalayun ding mamuhay ng mapayapa na patuloy na sinasabuhay ang mga kinagisnan at natatanging kultura na humubog sa atin sa pagdaan ng panahon.

Masuwerte tayo na sa pagsasama nating ito ay kasama natin ang ilang nakakatanda na nagtuturo sa atin ng mga pagpapahalaga, kaalaman, kultura at tradisyon, buhay ispiritual at mga pinapahalagahan sa buhay. Ang mga ito ay siyang dala-dala ng bawat isa sa atin, na humuhubog sa ating mga pagkatao at mga pangarap.

Ito din ay isang natatanging pagkakataon na mabalikan natin ang ating mga pinagmulan. Na siyang tanging nagbubuklod sa atin magpahanggang ngayon sa gitna man ng mga pagkakaiba. Sa mga pagkukuwento na ating maririnig, dito natin mas mapapalalim pa ang ating pagbabahaginan ng mga karanasan, hamon, at mga pangarap para sa magandang kinabukasan ng ating kani-kaniyang pamayanan.

Tunay ngang masuwerte tayo, na kabilang sa mga nagsipagdalo sa pagsasamang ito. Ito ay sapagkat tayo ay mabibigyan ng pagkakataon na magbahagi ng ating mga sariling pangarap at matuto tayong makibahagi sa pangarap ng ating mga kapatid na siyang magiging kasama natin sa ating mga paglalakbay at pakikibaka.

Bilang estudyante, aking pagsisikapan ang aking pag-aaral upang ako ay maging instrumento ng pagbabago at daluyan ng kapayapaan at pagmamahal para sa aking katribo at kapwa tao.

Naniniwala ako na ang bawat isa sa atin nakapag-aral man o hindi ay may mahalagang bahaging gagampanan tungo sa pagkamit ng ating mga adhikain at pangarap ng ating mga nakakatanda. Ang kinabukasan ng susunod na henerasyon ay nakasalalay sa ating mga kamay. Hindi natin kailangan maging mayaman, maging sikat, at maging kilalang tao para tayo ay maging instrumento ng kabutihan, kapayapaan, kaunlaran at mga pagbabago. Higit nating kailangan ngayon ang pakikiisa, pagtutulungan, pagdadamayan, at pagmamahalan upang maisaboses at makamit natin ang ating inaasam at mga adhikain sa buhay.

Sa ating kagalang-galang na mga panauhin, sa ating mga aktibong delegado, sa mga kapwa ko mag-aaral , sa buong pamilya ng Pamulaan, mga kaibigan, isang napakagandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

Ito ay isang napaka gandang regalo para sa ating mga ninuno. Magulang at sa mga susunod pang mga henerasyon. Tanging pangarap natin ang araw na ito , araw ng isang makabuluhang pagtitipon para ipagdiwang ang pagbubukas ng establisyamentong ito.

Sa pamamagitan nito, ating makilala at mapagtanto ang pagpapanatili ng yaman ng ating kalikasan ng ating tribo , kultura at tradisyon: mga instrumintong pang musika, katutubong kasuotan , sayaw at sariling pamamaraan ng pagsulat, malaman ang noon at kasalukuyang sitwasyon at lalong higit ang mga pakikibaka nating mga katutubo. Isa itong napakalaking hamon para sa ating lahat na pangalagaan itong ating kayamanan ng ating tribo.

Itinayo ito ng Pamulaan upang makilala at makita ang mga kakayahan at kakaibang talento para sa paglago nating mga katutubo. Kaya, kalianma’y hindi tayo naiba sa ating sosyodad.

Tayo ay higit pang magpapakilala at magpapalitan ng kultura at tradisyon, patuloy nating pagdiriwang ng Kalindogan at pagbubukas ng “ Living Heritage Center”

Inspiration Message of Dr. Perfecto Alibin, USP President

•

(Greetings: Acknowledge guests, institutions, participants)

•

At the outset, I would like to commend the people behind his three-day Kalindogan National Indigenous Youth Peace Congress which bears the theme: The Role of Youth in Building Sustainable Peace Through Intercultural Dialogue and Solidarity.

•

The entire USP community is truly pleased that IP youth from various communities in the country and people who shared a common vision with our IP brethren are gathered today to share experiences and knowledge that will lead to the conduct of activities, programs and projects that will serve as antidote to conflict and eventually build and sustain peace in every community.

•

Truly, this activity which I have learned is an output of the brains and efforts of our IP youth themselves—them being members of the steering committee, is really a manifestation of our (‘the development partners’) support and confidence to our IP youths and their respective communities. From the views of an academic institution, initiative like this is seen as a catalyst in improving the educational landscape of the country. The University is happy that through the Pamulaan Center for the Indigenous Peoples’ Education, we can take part in this understanding which is indeed noble.

•

I sincerely believe that true and sustainable development of the indigenous peoples can only be achieved through education and also through dialogue and solidarity.

•

As the premiere state university in the Davao Region, we would like to take an active role in the continued pursuit and sharing of knowledge, in this case—the pursuit and sharing of knowledge among the indigenous youths of different faiths and cultures from various communities in the country.

•

That having been said, may I take this occasion to encourage ourselves to think of and support more innovative activities that would lead in shaping and nurturing our IP brethren when I truly believe are capable of bringing the region and the country to greater social and economic heights and more importantly, I am certain that our IP youths with our guidance and support are truly capable of bringing sustainable peace in our country.

•

My congratulations again to all the people behind this program.

•

Thank you and God bless! 79

Congratulatory Message from Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Davao City

It is with great pleasure to speak before you today for the celebration of the KALINDOGAN National Indigenous Youth Peace Congress, themed; “The Role of Youth in Building Sustainable Peace through Intercultural Dialogue and Solidarity”.

I would like to congratulate the people behind this annual event which highlights the coming together of the youths of different faiths and cultures. Along with the launching of the Living Heritage Center of the Philippine Indigenous Peoples.

This is a very noble undertaking, because it celebrates the history and the life of the many tribes that inhabit the country.

Especially in Mindanao which is home to hundreds of tribes, which make the island diverse in culture and tradition. Yet, our IPs are left behind in terms of development programs that would supposedly help them in promoting their interests and in resolving the century-old Mindanao conflict.

These projects of the Pamulaan Center for Indigenous Peoples Education are helpful in trying to find solutions in understanding better the possibilities of concretizing future programs to our IP’s and foster solidarity with them.

The City government of Davao is very grateful for this, and rest be assured, that the city and its instrumentalities would be behind you and is very much willing to lend our support towards the attainment of your objectives.

Thank you and have a pleasant and fruitful day.

Role of Youth in Peace Restoration by Giovanni Reyes Introduction

In 2006, David Copperfield claimed to have discovered a true Fountain of Youth in a cluster of islands in the Bahamas, and said that dying insects went out flying after coming in contact with water. Sabi niya, ang mga namamatay na insecto at mga dahong patay na ay nabubuhay matapos isawsaw sa tubig na nangagaling duon. Because of this, many people afflicted with illness traveled to the site only to suffer from “deluded journeys.” The pilgrims found out that the Fountain of Youth was OFF LIMITS to outsiders.

If David Copperfield were here today, he would have fulfilled that claim, because the Living Heritage Center of the Philippine Indigenous Peoples, perhaps your version of Fountain of Youth, is not off limits and it gives the visitor such great pride o kaya mabubuhayan ng loob. As I read the hand writings of Mangyans in alphabets, read poetry written by water, seeing a model of rice terraces crafted by bare hands and suspended as they are like rivers in the sky, and of course, reading what were once voices of our heroes to defend land and life, I can tell you with certainty, it had a healing effect on me. Like me, probably some of you may have come here bearing the wounds of uncertainty, serious anxiety or even hopelessness because of wanton and reckless arrogance of development policies that harm lives and communities.

Bakit kaya kung saan naruruoon ang mga katutubo ay duon din naroroon ang mga dambuhalang proyecto kasama ang tourism, mining, large scale dams at marami pang iba. Oo, may mga katutubong Atis sa Boracay. Yes, there are Indigenous Peoples in Boracay. Meron din tayong mga kapatid na Tagbanua sa Coron, Palawan, mga Bugkalot at Ifugao sa Didipio, Nueva Viscaya at mga Bontok at Kalinga na malapit sa malakas na agos ng Chico River. At kung saan din natin naituturing sagrado ang ating mga lupain, ay duoon din nagkakaroon ng tinatawag na development aggression, hanggang sa meron nang mga taong magbuwis ng buhay. But like a rainbow, we provide the colors of diversity and beauty of life which conditions of unpeace can destroy altogether.

Perhaps, the reason why bold moves like Kalindogan taking up the issue of peace is because of the realization that peace, being too complex a problem, should not be left in the hands of a few from a hierarchy that sees public consultations and community participation as dispensable as though lives of people did not matter. Insects and animals have rights to live. How much more man? Kung ang mga insecto at mga hayop nga ay may karapatan ding mabuhay, tao pa kaya? 81

For us, men, women and youth to leave peace and development everything to the hierarchies of power to determine is tantamount to total unconcern and a trigger at “cursing the dark” instead of “lighting the candle”. The GRP-MILF conflict signal the necessary assertion of the logic of public consultation as defined by affected communities themselves including Indigenous Peoples. IP leaders whom I have talked with in recent weeks said that the MOA-AD which lumped together Moros and Non-Moro IPs into “Bangsa Moro” created brickwalls of skepticism. Sabi nung isa, “wala kaming problema kung ang lupaing ninuno naming ay bigyang karangalan na irespeto, lalo pa’t malapit lang kami bilang tri-people sa mga kapatid na Muslim. Ngunit akoy nababahala na akoy tatawagi’ng Bangsamoro na meron naman din akong sariling relihiyon na matagal na ring kinilala ng kalapit lugar naming Muslim. Ang pagkilala at respeto na eto ang siyang dahilan ng matagal na panahon na di nagkakagulo, di katulad ng aming ikinababahala ngayon. In short, mutual respect endured a long history of peaceful co-existence.

Given this view, IF government role in peacemaking were merely at facilitating TRI-PEOPLE talks, would we be seeing widespread dissatisfaction and waste of human lives the way we see them now? Now, what role would be given the youth if it were involved in restoring the peace? Should the youth be involved in the first place? Sino ang mga dapat kasama sa pakikisalawsaw tungkol sa usaping pangkapayapaan.

Una, Sino ka ba kabataan? Sino ka, katutubong kabataan? Sino ka nga ba, katutubo at Pilipinong kabataan? Who are you Indigenous youth? Why must you thrust the a ‘marginal’ voice in the scheme of pubic and official policy to restore peace? Ano kapasidad meron ka? What is your standing in society to hear and be heard? Youth Indispensability

Except for people in front, who among you are below 16? Who among you are above 25? Yours is an age group that is unique because childhood and adulthood overlap. Like adults but unlike children, youths have the use of their reason. But like children and unlike adults, youths are free of responsibilities of earning a living and carrying the burdens of financial, political and social obligations. Adults are often busy that they tend to think of themselves as creators of good fortunes, and they overlook or forget that the youth, however unburdened unlike them, have the conditions of idealism.

Therefore, a youth is more fitted to make long range decisions that help determine how he is going to live the rest of his life. I will not distinguish between Christian Youths and IP youths, but like a tree, you will be distinguished or recognized by the fruits that you produce.

More importantly, what will you produce in a situation where you are caught between an armed conflict where our nation must lead us to. In the battlefield are also youths between Filipino soldiers and Filipino rebels. One, with foreign firearms

directed by a military chain of command and the other, a nationwide insurgency and Muslim rebellion inspired by the nuances of a people’s frustration and anguish. The experience

In the Cordillera region where I come from, responses to conflicts used to be shaped by disputes involving ancestral domain boundaries and use of resources like water, hunting grounds, and mineral deposits. This is the type of conflict where traditional elders play crucial role through peace pacts or ‘Bodong’ system as practiced especially among the Kalingas and Bontoks.

But not all are engaged through Bodong like the community of Sagada where I was born and raised. The intervening mechanism in resolving conflict is through our traditional institution called the DAP-AY. This is a socio-political institution with a body of customary law, traditional ceremonies and rituals headed by elders who acquire leadership not by election, but by virtue of their wisdom, sense of fairness and good judgment. Out neighboring town of Bontoc call these Ato. The utilization of elder’s wisdom is the reason that despite existence of an elected local government, disputes, conflicts and violations of customary law are brought before the Dap-ay because oral history is important in settling such disputes.

We have 12 Dap-ays in Sagada and when they act as one, they become a formidable body since they sit as lawmakers, law interpreters and judges especially in overlapping claims over water sources. The issues they usually resolve are therefore local in scope and character.

However in the ‘80s, a conflict between guerillas of the NPA and government troops penetrated our villages posing a challenge to this traditional institution. Indeed, local elders and leaders found the conflict difficult to manage because it was new in their experience. Our local leaders and elders were faced by a conflict that was national in character. In other words, this time, the conflict did not involve issues covered by overlapping claims and use of resources like water. Town leaders and elders also have had to face the fact that people had diverse views and differences in political opinions that had divisive and polarizing effects. The challenge was: What is the extent of the Dap-ay’s scope as a peace instrument? And the pressing action needed then was how to prevent armed encounters from taking place within populated areas in order to protect unarmed civilians. Features of conflict resolution mechanism

The Dap-ay concept became the tool that summoned the community member’s diverse views. This allowed 83

community members to come to terms with each other through community discussions and small sectoral meetings.

After objectives of deliberations are thoroughly decided, people were all in agreement to support any collective position arising from community consultations. One of the outcome was to declare Sagada as a “Peace Zone”

As a witness and participant to the mobilization aspect of the peace zone, the youth reached out from house to house, from village to village, disseminating what the Sagada Peace Declaration was all about. The youth mingled with LGU units, clergy, elders, women-leaders professionals, media and even tourists explaining the town’s concept of peace and gathering support in the form of signature campaign. demanding the demilitarization of the town from both sides of the armed conflict. One position paper stated emphatically and in no uncertain terms that “the AFP and the NPA should hence forth recognize this demand. Because if you don’t, whom are you fighting for?”

Even as combatants were asked to leave, local leaders and elders adopted an open, continues and persistent dialogue by reaching out to the AFP and NPA. What our local leaders and elders did was the exercise of civilian supremacy over the military – whether AFP or NPA. By doing so, this boosted the local government unit’s exercise of moral authority, reiterating the message across that whoever violates the SD-SPZ among the warring parties will lose the trust and respect of the community.

Because this was a nationwide conflict, it needed support from the outside. Civil society organizations like the Gaston Ortigas Peace Institute were tapped to facilitate dialogues between our local leaders and high officials of the AFP.

Dialogues at national levels radiated back to the locality with the church, and government agencies like the National Unification Commission provided financial and material support. Senator Rodolfo Biazon got into the act by providing Five Million Pesos for water works. Not to be outdone, Fidel Ramos, then DND under President Cory recommended that Sagada Peace Zone be classified as Special Area with corresponding development programs.

The SPZ created a secretariat called Municipal Peace Council consisting of the youth, LGU, Dap-ay elders, women and church to coordinate and help articulate locally and nationally the people’s vision for peace. This helped greatly in reducing tensions. Ano ang natutunan namin? Lessons Gained

If peace was restored and replaced an atmosphere of war and social tension, that is because of community participation. Armed confrontation may have continued but these took place away from populated areas. This prevented

atrocities from possibly being inflicted by either side.

Ten years after the Sagada peace initiative, neighboring towns in Mountain Province replicated the model with mechanisms fitted to specific conditions of their areas. The towns of Besao, Bontoc and Sadanga joined Sagada to form an expanded “Peace and Development Cluster” thereby fostering a broader peace project.

To sustain the effort, our leaders allowed the community to host peace talks among warring tribes. As venue for peace restoration, the community members would learn issues about the roots of conflict.

In all these efforts, if the community was divided, and there were no youths to carry out mobilization, our leaders would have lost political power and will. And we could have been engulfed by armed conflict. Challenge

The beneficiaries of the 1988 Sagada Peace Initiatives are today’s youth who seem unaware of the past. As pointed out by one of our leaders who played a key role in meeting, consulting and appealing to all sectors, his observation is disturbing. He said that there may be no cross fires at present but the roots of armed conflict are still there. What if the armed conflict suddenly returned? How would these new crop of young adult leaders manage it?

This is the same question I would like you to ponder on. What plans do we have in store to help Indigenous Peoples manage conflict in their midst? What trainings should be undertaken to equip our youth with conflict management? In planning, let us always bear in mind that no matter how well-intentioned a plan is drafted because its authors purport to have the good of Icommunities in mind, it can never work as effectively. There is no substitute to the knowledgeable participation of community members in crafting plans. After all, Indigenous youth, women and elders are what peace and development in Ancestral Domain communities are all about.

Intercultural Dialogue Among Tri-People by Marides Gardiola

Call to Dialogue…

Pagkilos

Dialogue is a two-way free-flowing exchange of meaning through a group, allowing the group to discover insights not attainable individually

Pakikiramdam….

Guidelines for Dialogue:

1. Begin with silence 2. Allow time for everyone to speak 3. Allow silent spaces betweencontributions 4. Express yourself in personal terms using “I” rather than “we” 5. Suspend your judgment 6. Challenge your thoughts and ideas, not those of the speaker 7. Try to build shared meaning thereby establishing common ground 8. Use reflective listening and allow statements to be finished 9. Build on the previous contribution 10. Consider disagreement as an opportunity to learn and as a sign that there is a place to dig deeper 11. Remember that this is an exchange of ideas and feelings, not the triumph of one opinion over another 12. Be conscious of keeping to the topic 13. Be conscious of time

…. Pakikinig sa sarili sa kapwa… sa Diyos…

Pagtuklas - Ano ang nararamdaman ko sa mga nangyayari ngayon? - Ano ang mga isyung pangkapayapaan na mahalaga sa akin? - Ano ang sinasabi ng iba? Pagbubuo - Saan tayo nagkakapareho ng pagtingin sa mga nagaganap sa ating lipunan? - Ano ang mga interes ng magkakaibang grupo na dapat tugunan?

… ano ang maaari kong gawin bilang kabataan upang maita guyod ang kapayapaan sa magkakaibang grupo?
