This significant milestone is the culmination of a thorough, participatory, culturally-sensitive and rights-based FPIC process that SMI jointly developed with and was supervised by the NCIP Regional Offices XII and XI, and monitored by the NCIP Central Office.
It was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 (IPRA) and its FPIC Guidelines, and guided by international standards on indigenous consent.
Starting in May 2010 when SMI first applied for an issuance of Certification Precondition, the process to obtain the consent of the IP communities hosting the Tampakan Project has lasted more than 10 years to ensure maximum participation, transparency and clarity.
The formal application for CP was lodged in 2010 through an endorsement from MGB XII.
A ground investigation was undertaken by the NCIP to determine the extent of the affected area and identify the ICCs/IPs whose FPIC is to be obtained.
The Project Proponent presented the cost and benefits of the proposed project to the ICC/IP and their ancestral domains; and the measures adopted by the applicant to avoid or mitigate these impacts.
The ICCs/IPs consulted among themseleves, employing their own traditional consensus-building processes, to furhter understand and discern the merits/advantages and demerits/disadvantages of the proposal in order to intelligently arrive at a consensus.
Upon reaching a consensus decision within the 20-day consensus-building and freedom period, the IP elders/leaders invited the proponent to a decision meeting to formally convey their decision.
The negotiation on the terms and conditions of the MOA is between the community, represented by its Council of Elders/Leaders, and the applicant, facilitated by the FPIC Team.
