The island of Mindanao, dubbed as the “Land of Promise” is home to more than half of natural and mineral resources in the country. It hosts the largest rubber, banana and pineapple plantations as well as huge mining explorations. These big agri-plantations and mining corporations encroach peasant communities and Indigenous Peoples or Lumads in Bukidnon, South Cotabato, Sarangani, Compostela Valley and Davao provinces. Around 500,000 hectares of land in the five regions of Mindanao are planted with crops primarily for export. Ethnographic data were collected during fieldwork in the province of Bukidnon from May to October 2017. Raw data were obtained through formal and informal interviews, direct observation and collective discussions. Field research was carried out mostly with the Manobo-Pulangihon tribe in the municipality of Quezon. This article explores how corporate land-grabbing generates Lumad resistance, thus creating emancipatory politics. First, I briefly lay down the basis of “development programs” of the government within the framework of the neoliberal economic system and contextualize the issue of land-grabbing in Lumad communities in Bukidnon. I rely heavily on the theories provided by David Harvey in crystallizing the neoliberal economic paradigm. I then propose that this market-driven economic model inevitably results in accumulation by dispossession as experienced by the Manobo-Pulangihon tribe. Third, I describe how big landlords and agro-corporations encroach the Manobo-Pulangihon Tribe ancestral lands and explore a novel form of Lumad resistance against corporate land-grab.

棉兰老岛被称为“诺言之地”，拥有该国一半以上的自然和矿产资源。它拥有最大的橡胶，香蕉和菠萝种植园以及庞大的采矿勘探区。这些大型的农业种植园和采矿公司侵害了农民社区和土著人民或卢芒族在布基德农，南哥打巴托，萨兰加尼，孔波斯特拉谷和达沃省。棉兰老岛五个地区约有500,000公顷土地被种植，主要用于出口。从2017年5月至2017年10月在布基德农省的野外工作期间收集了人种学数据。原始数据是通过正式和非正式采访，直接观察和集体讨论获得的。实地研究主要是在奎松市的Manobo-Pulangihon部落中进行的。本文探讨了公司掠夺土地如何产生鲁玛德抵抗，从而创造了解放性的政治。首先，我简要介绍了新自由主义经济体系框架内政府“发展计划”的基础，并结合了卢马德的掠夺土地问题布吉农的社区。我在很大程度上依靠戴维·哈维（David Harvey）提供的理论来具体化新自由主义经济范式。然后，我提出，这种市场驱动的经济模型不可避免地会导致Manobo-Pulangihon部落经历的剥夺积累。第三，我描述了大地主和农业企业如何染指Manobo-Pulangihon部落祖先的土地和探索的新形式卢马德对企业土地抢阻力。
