Meeting with families<\/strong><\/p>\n\nCosalan, a member of an Ibaloi family in the city, said allowing the IP families to take part in land use planning for Baguio City would help harmonize the interests of the city and its indigenous groups.<\/p>\n\n
National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) Cordillera director Amador Batay-an said his agency has scheduled a meeting of Baguio families holding problematic CALT to address the city government\u2019s objections.<\/p>\n\n
NCIP issues the CALT as mandated by Republic Act No. 8371 (Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Rights Act of 1997). This certificate represents individual lands belonging to generations of IP clans.<\/p>\n\n
Recently, Felix Mari\u00f1as Jr., president of the Natural Resources Development Corp. (NRDC), augmented the security at Casa Vallejo, the city\u2019s oldest hotel, when the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) allowed an Ibaloi family to acquire the property.<\/p>\n\n
NRDC, the corporate arm of the DENR, administers the Casa Vallejo, which had been restored and leased by a developer in 2009.<\/p>\n\n
The writ of possession was granted to the descendants of Ibaloi clan leader Piraso, according to the DENR, which had asked the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) to intervene.<\/p>\n\n
On Jan. 7, OSG lawyers also faced the family of the late Josephine Abanag, a descendant of another Ibaloi clan leader, Menchi.<\/p>\n\n
Last year, the Abanag family petitioned the NCIP to stop the construction of a building of the government-owned People\u2019s Television Network at a portion of the Cordillera House, which is within the Mansion\u2019s reservation. This area is inside the Abanag CALT.<\/p>\n\n
Succession of titles<\/strong><\/p>\n\nOSG lawyer Ma. Dolores Rigonan and other government officials presented documents to argue that the national government owned the Mansion compound, including the Cordillera House.<\/p>\n\n
The titles, laid out by the Register of Deeds before an NCIP hearing, show a succession of national government titles over the Mansion property from 1902, when the American colonial government reigned, to 1942, during the Commonwealth era.<\/p>\n\n
Authenticity<\/strong><\/p>\n\nLawyer Manuel Cuilan, who represented the Abanag family, challenged the authenticity of the titles and noted that the documents did not have technical descriptions.<\/p>\n\n
Cuilan also said the titles would have been invalidated when the Commonwealth government was terminated in 1946, after the Americans recognized the Philippines\u2019 independence at the end of World War II.
