He made the report during the Regional Planning Workshop on NTF-ELCAC initiated by the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) at the Tam-an Resort at barangay Busilac in this town.
Andig said the funds generated by the insurgency – front organizations from various donors and supporters end up in the pockets of their leaders.
He said these front organizations are using ancestral domain issues and concerns of the IPs as proposals for funding from various donors.
“They use published news articles as proofs and justifications of their proposals for mobilization in rallies and post-activity reports but these are supposed to help IPs in their genuine quest for their ancestral domain rights,” Andig added.
He further asked IP leaders to be vigilant in their respective communities to prevent their members from being used in insurgency activities.(MDCT/BME/PIA 2-Nueva Vizcaya)
