If an autonomous government could invest in one first, which should it be?
A) Agriculture โ€” upland crops, heirloom rice
B) Tourism โ€” eco-tourism, heritage sites
C) Renewable Energy โ€” 6,695 MW hydropower
D) Creative Industries โ€” weaving, woodcraft Vote now!

Right now, the Cordillera has no legislative power of its own. Under autonomy: Local revenue stays local. Health, education, and infrastructure decisions are made by Cordillerans. Indigenous governance gains legal recognition. Economic plans fit the regionโ€™s realities โ€” not Manilaโ€™s. Autonomy is about who decides.

When the Chico River Dam threatened ancestral lands, it was the women of Kalinga who stood first โ€” blocking bulldozers and shaming soldiers into leaving. Their fight was about the right to decide. Under autonomy, the principle they fought for becomes regional law: communities must consent.

P178.85 billion in GDP โ€” 47.3% of the entire regionโ€™s economy. But decisions about Baguioโ€™s future are made in Manila. Under autonomy, young Cordillerans could access regionally-funded scholarships, startup support, and governance roles โ€” keeping talent and revenue where they belong.

The worldโ€™s oldest tattoo artist. Kalingaโ€™s last mambabatok. Her art is not decoration โ€” it is identity written on the body. But no regional laws protect it from commercial exploitation. Under autonomy, the Cordillera enacts its own cultural IP laws โ€” so mambabatok belongs to the community, not the market.

In remote Cordillera sitios, the facility-to-patient ratio is 1:18,895. National health policy is designed for urban areas. Under autonomy, the region deploys community health workers based on its own terrain โ€” not Manilaโ€™s model.

Abra: 59% cottage industries in bamboo and rattan. Rebuilding after every typhoon.
Apayao: 66% forest coverage, untapped eco-tourism potential.

Under autonomy, young Cordillerans here benefit from a locally-managed disaster center โ€” combining indigenous knowledge with modern tech, built for Cordillera terrain.

Under autonomy, the Cordillera sets its own environmental policies. Systems like the Muyong and Lapat gain legal recognition and enforcement authority. Communities decide โ€” not distant agencies.

A pangat of the Butbut tribe, he led the resistance against the Chico River Dam โ€” imposed on ancestral lands without consent. Assassinated April 24, 1980. His legacy: autonomy must mean community veto power over ancestral land decisions.

Every thread tells a story. Every pattern carries meaning. Mountain Provinceโ€™s woven textiles are among the finest in the Philippines โ€” but no regional IP protections exist. Under autonomy, the Cordillera could enact its own intellectual property laws, keeping weaving viable for the next generation.
