Unfortunately, on April 14 this year, a fire coming from an adjacent farm reached one of the mountain peaks already planted to trees. The blaze lasted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and burned around five hectares of the planted area. Yet, if not for the solitary effort of Datu Mancalamag Marcos Nabatlao, a Higaonon tribal chieftain, the fire could have spread over a wider area.
Datu Mancalamag said he believes that the person who started the fire had no intention to burn the juvenile trees. Still, he added, that person should have thought of the possible consequences as well as the fact that several groups and individuals are involved in the project. “Aside from Samdhana and the private groups and companies, my grandchildren and students from Opol also helped. It’s useless if I can’t defend their effort.
The datu also recalled that settlers started coming in with the entry of mining operations. Some of them were able to buy lands in the tribe’s ancestral domain.
