“ I believe, we, Subanons, had been practicing a green economy since before but not for profit, for subsistence. Because of this we were excluded from the market because we could hardly produce goods for the market. I’m not familiar with growth but our tribe had survive for hundreds of years despite the assault to our lands and communities. I think that’s growth for us.”
“Green growth is new to me. What I can remember is when the government said it
wants growth, they allowed mining into Mt. Canatuan, our sacred mountain. The mountain
is not green anymore.”

FPIC can ensure that the growth the IPs want do not harm
them, allows them to decide what direction they want, who will be
their partners and how it will be done in
their domains.

Victoria M. Cajandig First IP Representative to the
government’s Regional Development Council of
Region IX, a region claimed by the Subanens as their
homeland.
“We have green assets in our ancestral domains – land, water, forests, minerals, indigenous knowledge – and many more. We have a culture that promotes green development. We desire to be included. I think the biggest problem is the framework of the growth that we are talking. It brings a lot of dangers to our culture and territory. We also need to break the barriers of inclusion.”
• Poverty reduction through Farming.
• Potential investments to come in to ancestral territories.
• New knowledge and technologies can be made available.
• Better infrastructure, education, social services, etc.
• Access to markets• And the preparation to the
next generation
