How about you, do you have a piece of land in PI being a Filipino?

Question

Why the real properties(land) are very significant and valuable wealth to Filipinos wealthy tribes?

Recently, tribes in Mindanao used their modern and high power arms to solve their farm lands conflict, they used to fight to death to keep their valuable properties as land while Filipinos migrants in US/Canada and EU they choose to watch only than to owned real properties in the Phil, they choose to left world with nothing real properties or wealth to be inherited for their children and grandchildren.

Most of Balikbayans are prefer to go outings just to see beautiful natures of Baguio, Rice terraces which is owned by Igorot tribes, Villa Escodero, owned by taga-ilog tribes, etc….

I hope none of the Filipinos like a dog who living only in a cage.

Answer 1

land is life.

particularly for the ethnic or indigenous people. we defend our lands because it is our life. our lives depend on the land which is also our source of income.

it is where we were born and raised.  

btw,i got dizzy reading your lines but i hope i got exactly what you want to imply.

Answer 2

Every countries have different problems. How about Russia and Georgia what you think?

Answer 3

Depending on the natural resources your land can produce, the more you can provide for your families and/or communities in the form of money from raw materials sold or natural resources for consumption and construction use.

If the land some Filipinos own cannot provide any value, some may take the risk in selling their property after migrating to other countries such as US/Canada and EU.  Others may choose to sell only a portion while hoping to invest or reserve their remaining properties in the future for development or inheritance.

Although some balikbayans prefer to go to outings to see the beauty that nature can offer, there's also favorable interest in the back of their minds to own such property.

So whether you use land property for leizure, business, or livelihood, you can see how significant and worth fighting for as long as you legally own the land property.  The one who owns land can be better off than the one who rents a home.

Hope this helps!
