"This paper looks at how common property regimes changed in post-colonial Philippines in the context of development policies on natural resources, particularly in the management of common property regimes among the indigenous peoples of the northern Philippine highlands. What are the impacts of development policies on the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) who have retained their pre-colonial common property regime management practices? How are the Indigenous Peoples responding to the changes in development policies that affect traditional land tenure and resource management? What aspects of common property regime is changing, and under what conditions or pressures? What are some lessons learned in understanding the context where common property regime loses its reason for existence in Philippine upland agricultural communities?
"The paper begins by giving a brief historical background of pre-conquest property regimes and the development of resource management practices associated with each property regime. It goes on to show the changes in the indigenous property system in lowland Philippines under the Spanish colonial period. Under American colonial administration more laws were introduced which required the registration and titling of land and the state management of other natural resources such as forests and minerals. After independence the colonial laws on resource management were adopted by the Philippine Republic such as the Regalian Doctrine, which was used to usurp the common lands of indigenous communities rendering them squatters on 'public lands'. The indigenous communities common property became open access leading to unsustainable management with the breakdown of rules for managing natural resources." |
