Hundreds of families belonging to the Dumagat tribe lambasted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for its failure to protect
Hundreds of families belonging to the Dumagat tribe lambasted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for its failure to protect the Upper Marikina River Protected Landscape [UMRPL] and their ancestral domain from land grabbers masquerading as environmental advocates.
Alex Bendaña, chieftain of the Dumagat-Remontado group in Sitio San Ysiro, Barangay San Jose, Antipolo City, expressed fear over what he claimed as an aggressive effort to shoo them away from their “home” in view of moves to abolish the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act.
A check on the records showed that the UMRPL alone accounts for 26,126 hectares. However, continued forest and habitat degradation, caused mainly by illegal tree cutting, construction of residential subdivisions and establishment of commercial establishments effectively reduced the watershed area by at least 408 hectares a year.
As for the Dumagat-Remontado ancestral domain, the group said that their area has been slashed by more than half following the memorandum of aggreement entered into by the late DENR Secretary Gina Lopez with the Blue Star Construction and Development Corporation (later renamed as Masungi Georeserve) in 2017.

Dumagat from various communities lined up for medical services last Dumagat Day. Sick delegates were given medicine, while others were given check-up and vitamins. While mapping Dumagat communities, leaders shared that while some neighbourhoods have health centers, areas located in remote fields have none. Some of these health centers are even deprived of medicine and services, only having a building structure. In very unfortunate emergencies, the Dumagat use hammocks as their ambulance to carry patients by foot (for hours) to reach better equipped health centers.
Nanay Marilyn is a Dumagat from Sitio Kinabuan, a town near the famous Kinabuan Falls. She plants ginger, taro, and rice for a living and has a family of 7 kids, all of whom are not hers. Nanay Marilyn had two sisters, one died because of tuberculosis, the other while giving birth. Her sisters’ death left her children to support. She and her husband weren’t blessed to have their own kids, but they consider the 7 children left to them as their own. It took her family of 9 a 3-hour trek and a 6-hour jeepney ride to be present in this year’s Dumagat Day. She hopes for the Kaliwa-Kanan-Laiban dam project to be dropped as her family depends on their land for their livelihood, and they consider the Agos River deeply sacred.
