78 Addressing Inequality During the Pandemic c Right to Social Justice and Human Rights 1 d Legal Services Right to Cultural Integrity 323 “Hello Money” is a mobile banking application of Asia United Bank (AUB) that “aims to promote not only transparency and accountability in royalty share distribution to IP family beneficiaries, but also to promote fast, modern, and convenient way of banking whereby the beneficiaries of the IP royalty will directly receive their royalty share through their bank accounts without any hassle. [...] The Hello Money account is paired with an ATM card”.290 324 NCIP Surigao del Norte and the AUB facilitated an orientation on the application and was introduced to the Mamanwa of the ICC of Brgy. Ombong, Alegria, Surigao del Norte. “The office aims to replicate this activity to all other IP communities receiving royalty from mining companies. Through this method, monitoring by our office of the IP royalty utilization will be much faster and easier”.291 325 CHR CAR took cognizance of multiple issues in the delineation process or Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) application. The following issues and concerns were noted: unresolved boundary conflict between ICCs/IPs sparked by CADT applications; tri-boundary disputes over a gray area arising from the Cadastral survey of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources [DENR] or conversion from Certificate of Ancestral Domain Claim (CADC) to CADT; suspension of ancestral domain title due to conflict resolution; boundary conflict which prevented the completion of the delineation of an ancestral domain; overlapping approved Certificate of Ancestral Land Titles (CALT) and land claims, and non-recognition of duly issued CALTs and CADTs of different government agency/ies. 326 The scarcity of budget in ancestral land delineation was also raised, with only a maximum of one (1) delineation project funded per year seen as a limitation. 327 CHR CAR likewise noted that the “Joint Administrative Order No. 1 s.2012 of the DENR, [Land Registration Authority] LRA, [Department of Agrarian Reform] DAR and NCIP [which requires] segregation of lands covered by previously issued individual titles before the CADT is registered [...] is not possible because of a technical problem. The ADs were surveyed under the new system (PRS92) while the lands covered by previously issued individual titles to be segregated from the survey plan were surveyed under the old system. For segregation to materialize, the old system must be converted into the new system which is the task of the DENR. It is NCIP’s stand, that there should be no segregation as it dismembers the AD thereby destroying the concept that an AD covers not only the physical but the total environment including the spiritual and cultural bonds to the areas the ICCs/IPs occupy and use.292 328 CHR Caraga lauded NCIP’s efforts to continue the processing of ancestral domain applications from indigenous peoples, noting that the pandemic did not deter the NCIP from processing such and implementing information, education and campaign (IEC) activities, to wit: In January, the application of the Higaonon Indigenous Cultural Communities 290 CHR CARAGA (2021).
