It is not stated in IP’s ancestral domains, but If you will dig

deeper you can actually see that it was included. Not by words but
through understanding. According to REPUBLIC ACT NO. 386 
An act to ordain and institute the Civil Code of the Philippines. ...  Civil Code
of the Philippines is the basic law governing persons and family relations,
property and property rights, ownership of modifications, the modes of
acquiring ownership, and the obligations and contracts. Now the relationship
between the republic act NO. 386 which is trespassing and poaching of
properties is that a trespasser is the one who “oversteps his bounds” onto the
lands of another, while a poacher is one who trespasses with the
intent of taking an animal for an example. Which means that trespassing can
lead to much worse like poaching and there is no excemption to the republic
act no. 386 even though they are indigenous because they are also citizen in
this country which is the philippines.
