The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) Caraga Region successfully concluded its two-day Capacity Development Training covering Delineation, the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP), the Community Resources Management and Development Plan (CRMDP), and orientation on the new Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) Guidelines. The activity was held on May 20โ21, 2026, at VCDU Prince Hotel, Brgy. Imadejas, Butuan City.
Designed to align agency services with current standards, the activity covered important topics including the Delineation process, formulation of the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP), implementation of the Community Resources Management and Development Plan (CRMDP), and an orientation on the new Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) Guidelines.
Resource speakers led comprehensive discussions on each topic. TMSD Chief- Edgielit B. Pajarillo, discussed the step-by-step processes in delineation, focusing on refreshing and updating the knowledge of NCIP personnel to ensure accuracy and consistency in documentation. Meanwhile, Engr. Shiela Salas Padillo, Engineer III/FPIC Focal Person presented the evaluation checklist for the Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) and Certificate of Ancestral Land Title (CALT), as well as the requirements for proofs of claim.
Further sessions were facilitated by Mae Carla Sharon B. Jasma, Acting Planning Officer, who tackled the framework and components of ADSDPP; Regional Director Ordonio P. Rocero, Jr., who provided insights on effective planning and implementation of CRMDP; and Atty. Leslie Mae Plaza, who oriented the participants on the provisions and procedures under the new FPIC Guidelines.
Unlike conventional seminars, the training adopted a participatory approach, where speakers did not merely deliver lectures but also encouraged participants to share their field experiences, challenges, and best practices related to the topics. This exchange of insights made the sessions collaborative, engaging, and highly relevant to actual operations.
The training and workshop brought together NCIP personnel to strengthen their knowledge and skills, serving as an important platform to align the agencyโs workforce with current standards and ensure more effective, responsive, and legally compliant delivery of services to Indigenous Cultural Communities and Indigenous Peoples in the Caraga Region.
