Provincial board member Arbie Llesis, Bukidnon’s indigenous peoples’ mandatory representative , has expressed disappointment over moves to delay the implementation of the, otherwise known as the Bukidnon IP Code. He argued that Roque’s veto of the ordinance in late July came in late and had no legal effect.
Apollo Maguale, the secretary of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan , asked to put the publication on hold due to unresolved procedural issues. Llesis, who advocated for the IP code’s approval, called the delay an “embarrassment” for the provincial government, emphasizing that the ordinance had already lapsed into law based on the Local Government Code, which provides only a 15-day review period.
They previously decided to subject Roque to their traditional “sala,” a customary method for resolving disputes, accusing the governor of giving them false hope. They said Roque had promised to give Bukidnon’s IP tribes an IP code.He said the tribes had given Roque seven days to respond to their August 5 petition, but Roque did not reply, leading the council of IP elders to begin discussing what “gatang” to impose on the governor.
