The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) Bad-as Community Service Center, through its designated IPMR Focal Persons, facilitated the Barangay Urbiztondo IPMR Selection and Validation Process with the active participation of the IP Leaders and Council Members of the Silop and Capangdan Urbiztondo ICCs/IPs.
The activity served as an important platform for consultation, deliberation, and consensus-building among the concerned Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) in the selection and validation of their Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR). Participants actively engaged in the discussions and validation proceedings to ensure that the process adhered to the prescribed guidelines and accurately reflected the collective will and aspirations of the community.
Through the conduct of the activity, the participants were able to review relevant requirements, address concerns, and verify compliance with established procedures, thereby safeguarding the integrity, transparency, and legitimacy of the IPMR selection process. The undertaking likewise reaffirmed the right of ICCs/IPs to meaningful participation and representation in local governance, consistent with the principles of self-governance and empowerment embodied in the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA).
Facilitated by Ms. Gerlie P. Tiambong, Tribal Affairs Assistant I and IPMR Focal Person, and Mr. Edgar L. Oreo, Nurse II and Alternate IPMR Focal Person, the activity underscored NCIPโs continuing commitment to strengthening Indigenous Peoplesโ participation in decision-making processes and ensuring genuine representation in local legislative bodies.
