Iloilo Indigenous Peoples call for dam implementationFriday, August 26, 2016 - 14:26
Calinog, Iloilo, Philippines – Inter-sectoral support for the implementation of Iloilo’s biggest and much-needed irrigation development project continues to broaden. Dubbed Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project Stage II (JRMP II), it is a significant ‘pipe-line’ project in Iloilo Province. It has since enjoyed the endorsement of Indigenous Peoples, farmers, national government agencies, Local Government Units (LGU), religious groups and the business sector. In fact, no less than the members of the Panay-Bukidnon IP community called for support from the Duterte Administration to pursue the JRMP II. Saying “the implementation of the project will respect and recognize the stand and desire of the Panay-Bukidnon community for progress and peace”, the IPs wrote a manifesto addressed to President Rodrigo Duterte. The two-page document was signed by 200 IP elders representing the 16 barangays (villages) that will be affected by the dam project. Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan (National Living Treasure) and clan leader of the Caballero Family, Federico “Tay Pedring” Caballero led the signing of the manifesto. In full support too is Calinog town elected IP councilor Renato Casinao. |
