The fifth and last workshop to formulate the Taobuid CCP was done on 21 May 2023 at the community center at Station 1, Mounts Iglit-Baco Natural Park , Barangay Poypoy, Calintaan.

During the workshop, the participants validated the contents of the CCP draft, selected aspects of Taobuid traditional practices described in the draft that they want to be represented in illustrations for those who cannot read, discussed the policies for the proposed area for te expansion of a tamaraw safe zone, and discussed the preparation for the tripartie (PAMO, Taobuid, and DAF) ground delineation of this expansion area.
