Bodong (Peace Pact) system was practiced amongst indigenous communities, especially in the Cordillera Region, but it is not as prevalent in Ilocos Region due to its cultural, local and social-economic issues.

Such things as feuds with the Philippine Law, unstable traditional authority, resource conflicts, exploitations, and pressure leading to migration.

We could resolve the issue by balancing both laws and harmonizing them, document and formalizing all agreements, have a council meeting with LGU's (local government units) to improve dialogues and forming a strong relationship, and raise economic support for indigenous communities.

Land grabbing is a serious issue enacted by companies or individuals wherein land is controlled through any means (legally or illegally) for intentions that can include resource extraction, commodification, speculation, etc. This, in turn, often harms farmers, agroecology, food sovereignty, and human rights.

In Ilocos, many cases of land grabbing have been affecting major acquisitions of land throughout the region, which led to a dispute between ancestral domains and private and government claims, adding to the mix of government projects, expansion and political manipulation and corruption that led indigenous people have no choice but to relocate or migrate, as well as the loss of livelihood and even resulted to violent conflicts.

Have a peaceful protest about the illegal actions of land grabbing, along with filing a legal case to defend their rights to have their lands back to them, and also to have a call to direct action to prevent them from destroying and claiming their lands, and moreover, Ilocos Region should take a drastic anti-corruption measure and investigate officials involved to this fraudulent acts with cooperation with the local government units (LGU).

As previously stated, Ilocos Region has some historic meetings with Cordillera Regions in indigenous communities, which led to a mix of emotions, some respected each other's beliefs and strengths, and some despised each other, which led to killings and violence due to the history of tribal wars in the past.

Even though in todays era, where laws and rules published to stop conflicts, it'll still occur, as people would not hesitate to put actions in violence due to land disputes, cultural roots, and with the modern mix of modern influences and political feuds that led to false claims and armed conflicts and result to loss of lives and distrust.

We could help avoid any more conflicts by improving the Bodong Law and implying a more strengthen security and bond for the indiegnous people, as well as giving people right justice, especially to the tribal groups that have been left out, as well as the government's support to have extra efforts to avoid these conflicts at all cost.
