Lessons Learned Workshop - To assess the lessons gained by the individual participants and the project’s contribution to the tribal communities, a Lessons Learned Workshop was conducted on September 9, 2018, at Philtown Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City. Advocacy Sharing of Indigenous Knowledge System and Practices (IKSP) - The sharing of indigenous knowledge system and practice(IKSPs) to the young IPs was completed. In the previous report, PSDM informed VOICE Philippines that one(1) barangay (Tumpagon) had refused to consent to PSDM due to conflicting project activities with SAMDHANA Institute. Of the targetted 6 pilot barangays, only 5 barangays could be piloted. Resource Mobilization Funders Forum - On September 10, 2018, a Funders Forum was held at Philtown Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City. There were 26 prospective partners/funders invited who could potentially respond to the felt needs of the tribal communities. Though there have not been very visible changes in their social and economic situation, their willingness to work and continue their efforts for resource mobilization was notable and may produce more concrete results. The IPMRs are now more active to engage with their barangay government so that they could be an integral part of their respective barangay council. They are also asserting their rights to the benefits due to them as mandated by law. IPMRs in Taglimao and Pagalungan are now recognized by their barangay chairpersons.
