Good day!
It is a great honor to know you as a person with a heart for Indigenous People (IPs) who are
in great need of help. It is believed that your brilliance and excellence can aid poor people
like us to escape the unjust happening in our area here in Lacolac, Baugon, Bukidnon.
We, the Maecate Higaonon Tribe Farmers Association, are writing this letter to seek from
your good office with regards to the problem from the Indigenous People Mandatory
Regulation (IPMR) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR),
herewith stated below;
By doing so, she has not done any initiatives that benefit and give welfare to tribal
groups of barangays. Instead of uniting all the tribes, she caused trouble and conflict.
4. Her motive in sitting as IPMR president is not about helping the tribes, rather it was
for personal interest. With the position, she has the power to hand and hold in all
transaction about the domain and the land which rightfully belongs to the tribes. She
disrespected and undermined the authority and leadership of the recognized Datus and
Baes of the place. She even tried to disrespect the authority of FLORITO L. UBOD
also known as DATU SUMASANGKA as the recognized tribal leader of Maecate
Higaonon Ancestral Domain, where records and other documents could prove that
DATU SUMASANGKA is the heir – successor of the ancestral domain, given that DI
SUMIBOG is his father.
For the abuse she has committed against the tribal leader, we decided to oust her by means of
petitions. And at this moment the association feels deep danger because of the buyers she
transacted with, they are retired men from the military and can potentially harm us.
This coming October 27, 2020 at 8:00 AM our land will be having a ritual headed by the
IPMR, DENR and kagawads from different barangays for the occupancy of the buyers.
IPMR, DENR and the kagawads also took a tax declaration within our domain violating our
right as claimant. And based on my knowledge, DENR has no right to interfere with ancestral
domains.
Sir, we trust your capabilities. We believe that you are the right person who can help us, with
your good governance and leadership our problems can be resolved. Herewith attached are
the certificate of CADT, receipt and tax declaration, request letter addressed to the Camp
Evangelista and the name of the seller and the buyers for your reference. I hope you can
prevent them by coming to our land on September 27, 2020 at 8:00 AM.
Sincerely yours,
