The Councils emphasized the importance of dialogue, coordination, respect for customary laws and Indigenous Peoples’ practices, and culturally appropriate approaches in addressing community and boundary concerns. The discussions involved concerned government agencies, tribal elders and leaders, Indigenous Peoples representatives, and peace and security authorities.
Also taken up during the meeting was Joint Resolution No. 05, Series of 2026, which endorses and respectfully requests the assumption of the chairmanship of Task Force Chumanchil by the Honorable Provincial Governor of Kalinga, Hon. James S. Edduba, and recommends the appropriate reconstitution of the Task Force.
