Description:
This humble representation deemed it an opportune time to revisit the law — Republic Act No. 8371, The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 — through a glass darkly of sorts, utilizing rich jurisprudence spanning two decades and reviewing the insightful deliberations of Congress, more particularly that of the Senate, in the crafting of this law. This way, we have the best of both worlds — jurisprudence as promulgated by the highest court of the land and legislative intent as spread within the pages of congressional records.
