An ancestral domain of the Maruboc ICC/IP in Northern Mindanao has no CADT title recognized by the NCIP. A multinational wind-energy developer proposes to construct and operate a wind farm within the domain. The NCIP has not issued Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) nor CADT recognition. The provincial government has issued an environmental clearance and a development permit, citing renewable energy goals and economic development. The Maruboc ICC/IP objects, arguing that RA 8371 requires FPIC before any resource development within ancestral domain and that a permit issued without FPIC is invalid. The company proceeds with site surveys and initial preparatory work. A civil action is filed to stop the activity. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine and primary rule under RA 8371 governing rights to ancestral domain and FPIC. (b) Distinguish how FPIC interacts with government licensing and CADT recognition. (c) Apply to these facts: Can the wind farm activity legally proceed? What remedies are available to the Maruboc ICC/IP and what are the potential consequences for the permit and the company?

FPIC is optional if the project is for renewable energy and aligns with national energy policy. The state may grant a permit for the project and later obtain FPIC; retroactive FPIC can validate the permit. FPIC is a mandatory precondition for any exploration or exploitation of natural resources within an ancestral domain; permits issued without FPIC are invalid, so the wind farm cannot lawfully proceed; the ICC/IP may seek injunctive relief, and civil liability may attach to the company; NCIP must issue FPIC or CADT recognition before development; government licensing cannot substitute for FPIC. FPIC is required only after CADT recognition; until then, a government permit can proceed for renewable energy development.
