Aida Cabradilla, an indigenous Isnag, works on her cornfield in Madduang village, Kabugao, Apayao. Although their field is in an upland location and will not be submerged when the Gened-1, Gened-2, and Madduang dams are built, she fears they will no longer be able to farm because of strict prohibitions on kaingin (slash-and-burn farming) intended to prevent contamination of the reservoir.
