Baguio council to NCIP: Give CALTs over Sto. Tomas 139-hectare lot
>> Tuesday, March 7, 2023
BAGUIO CITY – The city
council urged the Cordillera office of the National Commission on Indigenous
Peoples (NCIP-CAR) to furnish the legislative body list of certificates of
ancestral land titles (CALTs) applicants within a 139-hectare Hecate lot
located within barangays Camp 7, Bakakeng Norte, Sto. Tomas Proper, and Sto.
Tomas School area, including a map determining all ancestral land claims in the
said area which the city officials said, was property of the city government.
Under resolution 116, series of 2023, local legislators said the composite map would show positions and plotting the lots of ancestral land claims as well as the ancestral domain in the area.
“This is necessary to determine areas that might be needing negotiations with the ancestral land claimants or there might be areas which are not covered by claims and free so that the local government can proceed with its plans regarding its solid waste management,” officials said.”
Earlier, resource persons from the NCIP-CAR who were invited by the city government manifested more than 80 hectares out of the 139-hectare land located in barangays Camp 7, Bakakeng Norte, Sto. Tomas proper and Sto. Tomas School area have been applied for CALTs.
The NCIP is the government agency tasked to accept, process and issue the certificate of ancestral land titles of qualified applicants for the issuance of the same having occupied their lands since time in memorial.
Section 78 of Republic Act (RA) 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) recognizes the charter of Baguio City, however, all lands acquired through various judicial orders and administrative proceedings shall be respected. -- Dexter A. See
