This document outlines a proposed research study on the cultural practices of the Mandaya people and their involvement in community-based forest management programs in Tarragona, Davao Oriental, Philippines. The research aims to examine the relationship between the cultural practices of the Mandaya (the predictor variable) and their level of involvement in community forest management programs (the criterion variable). Previous studies have focused on the cultural practices of the Mandaya but not their involvement in forest management. Understanding this relationship could help ensure cultural practices are sustained and communities have more self-determination in managing local forest resources.

are sustained or improved. Additionally, Dove (2006) stated that a Community Based Forest
Program can assist the cultural communities in their pursuit for self- determination as well as
articulating and legitimizing their land and resource claims.”

9. “Forest land is one the richest natural resources in the Philippines. It also serves as habitat to
over 12 million peoples group (Aquino & Daquio, 2014). Yet, the link between cultural practices of
