On September 30, 2025, the PAFID team successfully conducted an orientation for the enumerators of the Sumpaw Nang Mangkadikadung Sang Maragusan. The activity gathered enumerators from 21 barangays, with the goal of ensuring reliable and meaningful data collection for their communities.
As part of the training, the enumerators engaged in actual interview exercises to sharpen their skills and ensure that they are well-prepared and capable of gathering accurate and reliable data in the field. 
This hands-on approach not only improved their confidence but also ensured they were more prepared for the upcoming tasks.
The data that will be collected serves as a vital input for the enhancement of the ADSDPP of the Sumpaw Nang Mangkadung Sang Maragusan—supporting better planning, decision-making, and sustainable resource management for the community. 
Together, we stand with Indigenous communities in protecting their ancestral domain and ensuring sustainable resource management for generations to come.
