During the drought brought about by La Niña in 2016, no government assistance was forthcoming despite appeals for help posted by the IPs in the media. There were social media appeals for help with the posting of monkeys descending from the mountains due to the drought and photographed at national highways in Sultan Kudarat. Promises of sacks of rice distribution was the primary reason for IP participation in the mass protests of Kidapawan and the encampment in Haran. There is no government mechanism that deals with IP displacement despite its periodic occurrence in conflict areas of Mindanao. Aid is rendered by primarily by non-governmental and church organizations and secondarily by local governments. Government resources should be accessible during these times of man-made calamities. Overall, there is no culture for monitoring and evaluation existent among State duty bearers to enable the IP to provide feedback on the projects and programs and obtain redress should these be deleterious or cause of damage to the IP communities. The recommendations seek to remedy these through direct partnership to produce Monitoring and Evaluation systems and to establish FPIC procedures for government programs. 9. Displacement of IPs due to conflicts in ancestral domains and extrajudicial executions of IPs and IP rights defenders are at alarming levels and government remedies and prosecutions are slow to respond to this. During the inquiry, the IP leaders reported many cases of displacement due to eruption of conflicts within the ancestral domain as well as extrajudicial execution of IP leaders and IP rights defenders. The various testimonies points to the root of these conflicts within the AD as follows: a) development aggression driven by resource conflicts, b) external conflicts of opposing armed groups brought in the ADs causing division among IP community members. Many of these killings were documented in the report of the CHR of the Haran incident. The encampment at the Haran compound itself was one such displacement cause by conflicts in the ancestral domains. 36 However, the Haran report noted that “It would be simplistic to say that ideology is the single driver in the ancestral domains of Mindanao. Documentary, testimonial, and anecdotal evidence gathered during the Commission’s inquiry point to the fact that land-use and extraction of mineral resources are inextricably linked to insurgency. Unfortunately for the majority of the indigenous peoples. These natural resources, far from lifting them from poverty. Have only added to their misery and oppression. Fear and poverty, abetted by government neglect and decades of exploitation, have all contributed to making the Lumad especially vulnerable to displacement.” 36 Report on the Human Rights Situation of Indigenous Peoples of Mindanao in the Midst of Conflicts, including those who have encamped in Haran, Davao (May, 2018.
