EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ORGANIZING <strong>Management</strong>’s Comments Provided by CENRO-Malaybalay Non PO members within CBFM areas can not be driven out even they do not join the organization as per our existing laws (RAs 8371, 7586 and 7160). We cannot also suspend the issuance of CBFMA to those interested farmers due to noncooperation of some of the minority farmers within the watershed/ community. As a compromise, work and collaboration should already start to those interested farmers and overtime, we are confident that the course of nature will force them to join the organization and practice sustainable upland farming system principles, advocated by the CBFM community. Some of the compelling indicators which will ultimately force them to join includes low production due to poor soil management, exclusion in the financial assistance channeled through the organization and the non issuance of a tree cutting permit. On the other hand there are cases where farmers do not want to join the organization because of their personal indifference with some of the organizers/leaders which is already beyond our control. On the other hand, those who were not given the priority to receive assistance from the government, tend to distance themselves from the organization. Momentarily, non-participation by some members of the community may still be an issue but this is very temporary in nature. Per our assessment, the four (4) PO’s have already attained a certain degree of responsibility and commitment of protecting natural resources entrusted to them contrary to the audit observation. This is, if we compare them before the project implementa- Team’s Rejoinder While the team agrees with the CENRO that non PO members could not be driven out, the presence of 47% non PO members is affecting the development of the area. Considering that the PO and the DENR could not totally disregard the rights of non PO members and development on such areas could not be undertaken, there is a need to establish a minimum percentage of membership before awarding CBFMA. While it maybe true that only one major fire occurrence was noted by the team, this could have been prevented had the required protection activities been undertaken by the PO. It was reported that the fire occurrence destroyed about 50 hectares of the 48

The fact that only one (1) PO has fire occurrence out of the four (4) is already a strong manifestation that our efforts are impacting on the ground. Fire occurrences during summer can be traced to the traditional practices of our upland communities and Indigenous Peoples of preparing their land for the incoming cropping season after summer. Accepted principle is that we can not win their hearts and change their practices overnight, as this is even respected and recognized under the IPRA law. Transformation is a long lonely road and a painstaking process. Team’s Rejoinder established plantation. Besides, with duly established firelines, even if communities adopted traditional practice in farming, the established plantations could not have been greatly affected. 49
