Indigenous communities, including the Cuyonon, Kagayanen, and Palaw’an, are facing potential displacement in Barangay Sebaring, Palawan. This situation stems from a corporate purchase of the mother title of the barangay in 2018, which did not include the homes of the islanders. The community is now contending with the wishes of the acquiring enterprise regarding the land.
