What does it mean to own land you've lived on for generations — not as property, but as a responsibility? Eleonor V. Atencio walks us through the vision behind a 2-hectare pilot project inside the Dumagat/Remontado ancestral domain in Tanay, Rizal. The project isn't about profit. It's about building a working model that proves ancestral domains can be preserved and made productive at the same time — so communities don't have to sell their land to survive. Topics covered: how the Dumagat/Remontado view land as collective wealth; customary law as a living, oral tradition; the pilot as an immersion ground for partners; and the long-term path toward larger projects within the ancestral domain. Interviewed and facilitated by Hubert Joseph Posadas of the Baganihan Collective.
