BASCO, Batanes- The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) shall implement memo circular no. 2010-119 re-mandatory representation of indigenous peoples (IP) cultural communities in policy-making bodies and other local legislative councils per interview this morning with DILG-MLGOO Eunicia Gato. | |||
In another interview with NCIP community development officer Eduardo Delfin, the mandatory inclusion of IP representative to legislative body at all levels is covered in Section 5 of NCIP administrative order no. 001 series 2011. | |||
The process states that an IP representative will be elected by the IPs themselves in each municipality. The administrative order explains the qualifications and disqualifications, term of office, selection process, powers, duties and functions, and lastly the compensation. | |||
MLGOO Gato said that there are plans to elect IP representative to the national level and eventually to congress. However, Gato said further that DILG - Batanes sees it not necessary to have IP representative beyond the prov'l level because Batanes is peopled by homogenous tribe. There is only one tribe (Ivatan) here in this province. | |||
Per interview with Gato, the compensation of IP representative to the SB allegedly equal to the elective sangguniang bayan position for a 3-years per term, is still unimplemented in some provinces which have uinstalled their IP representatives. | |||
In the case of those installed, the IP are still qualified to seek re-election after 3 years should they wish to serve more. | |||
