Sa bawat usaping may direktang epekto sa mga Katutubong Pamayanan, mahalagang magsimula sa pakikinig.

Sa pangunguna ni NCIP Secretary at Chairperson Nancy A. Catamco, nakipagdayalogo ang National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) sa mga Aeta Hungey ICCs/IPs sa Sitio Binyayan, Capas, Tarlac upang direktang marinig ang kanilang mga hinaing, pangamba, at pananaw kaugnay ng Pax Silica Project.

Binigyang-diin ni Secretary Catamco na dadalhin ng NCIP ang mga boses ng komunidad sa mga susunod na pakikipag-ugnayan at talakayan sa mga kinauukulang ahensya at institusyon.

Hindi hadlang sa pag-unlad ang mga Katutubong Pamayanan.
Bahagi sila nito. Tungkulin ng NCIP na tiyaking naririnig ang kanilang boses at iginagalang at pinangangalagaan ang kanilang mga karapatan, kultura, at lupang ninuno habang isinusulong ang pambansang kaunlaran.

OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG

Ang 2026 FPIC Guidelines ay bunga ng mahigit isang dekadang masusing pagsusuri at malawak na konsultasyon at pakikipagdiyalogo sa mga Katutubong Pamayanan, mga NCIP Field Offices, ibaโ€™t ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan, civil society organizations, pribadong sektor, at iba pang stakeholder sa ibaโ€™t ibang panig ng Pilipinas. Isinulong ang mga ito upang tugon sa mga aral at hamon sa pagpapatupad ng 2012 FPIC Guidelines at higit pang patatagin ang proteksiyon sa mga karapatan ng mga Katutubong Pamayanan sa ilalim ng IPRA.

Kabilang sa mahahalagang reporma ang pagpapalakas ng transparency at pananagutan sa pamamagitan ng FPIC Transparency Portal, mas mahigpit na disclosure requirements
para sa mga aplikante, pagkilala sa precautionary principle para sa mga proyektong may mataas na panganib sa kapaligiran at kultura, pinalakas na human rights monitoring, mas malinaw na mga tuntunin laban sa conflict of interest, at patuloy na obligasyon sa pagsunod sa mga kondisyon ng FPIC sa buong panahon ng implementasyon ng proyekto.

Nananatiling bukas ang NCIP sa makabuluhang diyalogo at mga mungkahi upang higit pang mapatatag ang pagpapatupad ng FPIC. Patuloy naming ipagtatanggol ang karapatan ng mga Katutubong Pamayanan na malayang magpasya sa mga usaping nakaaapekto sa kanilang mga lupang ninuno, kultura, at kinabukasan.
