Engineer Niña B. Burdeos also validated the process for land ownership and disposition.

In order for one to acquire a piece of land within the Ancestral Domain of the Banwaon
IPs/ICCs of CADT 250, the following process are as follows:

a) If you are a “tumindok” in the Banuwa/ community or in a certain territory, naturally

you will inherit the land owned by your forefathers;
b) If you are a “Dinawatan” - if you are related to the tumindok by Affinity, according
the Customs & traditions, if an outsider is married to the “tumindok” you will be
given a piece of land;
c) If someone who is not a member of the community but has a good relationship
with the community and its people will be given a piece of land for him to till;
d) If someone creates a sin or a grave offense, a piece of land can be made as peace
offering or will serve as a payment to the offense made to somebody depending on
the decision of the leaders;
e) “bildas”
f) If someone from the community feels he is wronged nor hurt by someone and
decides to leave the community, the IPs can offer a piece of land to that person as
a peace offering in order for him not to leave the community. This if the community
values his presence in the community.
