REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) 
First Regular Session 
) 
SENATE 
S. No. 24'79 
Introduced by Senator JUAN MIGUEL F. ZUBIRI 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The islands of Bantayan, Malapascua, and Carnasa, all found in the 4th District 
of Cebu Province have been bestowed by nature with beautiful and pristine white sand 
beaches. 
While Bantayan Island is composed of the municipalities of Sta. Fe, 
Bantayan, and Madridejos, the islands of Malapascua and Carnasa form part of the 
Municipality of Daanbantayan. These islands are now considered favorite tourist 
destinations among foreigners and locals alike. 
Certain areas in Bantayan Island and the whole island of Malapascua and 
Carnasa are lands of the public domain. These areas, which total to thirteen thousand 
three hundred thirteen hectares more or less, are, by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 
No. 2151, declared as wilderness. As such, they cannot be alienated and disposed. 
With the influx of tourism in these areas, demands for transportation and 
accommodation complete with water, electricity, and communication facilities must be 
met. The transportation, communication, and infrastructure services of these islands 
must therefore be developed. To do so, the government should aggressively take the 
necessary step to attract private individuals and entities willing to pour in their resources 
to provide the services wanted. 
The conversion or reclassification therefore of these areas in the islands of 
Bantayan, Malapascua, and Carnasa from wilderness into agricultural lands for 
agricultural, commercial, residential, tourism, and for other similar productive purposes 
must be the government's initiative in achieving the above objective. These lands which 
have remained idle and unproductive for a long period of time, once reclassified as 
proposed, will certainly open the opportunity for business and economic development. 
The reclassjfication of these lands will pave the way to the establishment of 
transportation, communication, and infrastructure services that meet the requirements 
of a greater number of tourists from around the globe. These islands, like that of 
Boracay, . will undoubtedly be included among the world's famous tourist destinations 
and another addition to 
Philippines' pride. Considering the magnificence and the rich 
local heritage of these islands, the government's affirmative stance in reclassifying 
these areas will definitely contribute much to the success of tourism industry, not only in 
the islands of Bantayan, Malapascua, and Carnasa but to the entire country as well. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate enactment of this bill is 
requested.
