NCIP has failed to empower the tribal communities for 18 years
By GERRY LEE GORIT Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City––A tribal leader on Thursday slammed the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) over its failure to implement its mandate to empower the Indigenous Cultural Communities and Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/ IPs) in Mindanao. Datu Lolong Lipiahan,
a Higaonon tribal leader, and some of the tribal leaders belonging to the Tribal Communities Association of the Philippines, Inc. (Tricap, Inc.) converged at the Capitol University for the 4th Tribal Leaders Congress and to celebrate the 18th year anniversary of the Republic Act 8371, otherwise known as the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) law of 1997.
Lipiahan said the NCIP, the government agency created under IPRA, is supposed to empower the tribal communities but it did not happen. Instead, he said the IPRA law has created more troubles on the part of the tribal communities because the NCIP failed to educate the lumads on the salient features of the law. See slams, page A11
Case overload, cramped accommodation giving prosecutors a headache MISAMIS Oriental Governor Bambi Emano came to the rescue of government prosecutors assigned in Misamis Oriental whose woes include being overworked, under-compensated, house in cramped offices and with slim chances of attending even their own annual convention. These concerns were brought to the attention of the governor during the regular weekly flag-raising ceremony which was
sponsored by the Provincial Prosecutors’ Office, Monday this week. In a prepared statement, the prosecutors said it has a total case load of some1,345 handled by 14 prosecutors or about 96 cases per prosecutor. The burden of this heavy case load per prosecutor is worsened by the fact that they live in extremely cramped accommodation at the second floor See overload, page A11
