EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to declare the EI Nido-Taytay Managed Resource Protected Area 
(ENTMRPA) in Palawan as a protected area. 
The ENTMRPA, which covers 89, 134.76 hectares, serves as a sanctuary to 
diverse terrestrial and marine life species. Found in the area are 16 bird species, nine of 
which are considered common, five uncommon and 1 vulnerable. Also, the ENTMRPA 
serves as a habitat for six species of large terrestrial mammals limited to the Philippines. 
Three main habitat types in the area include terrestrial forest, littoral zone and marine 
habitats. 
Recognizing the value of the area, it was established as EI Nido-Taytay 
Managed Resource Protected Area by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 32, dated 
October 8,1998. 
This bill, therefore, seeks to declare the EI Nido-Taytay Managed Resource 
Protected Area as a protected area in order to protect it from indiscriminate exploitation 
and to be able to maintain its ecological balance. 
Given the importance of biodiversity, it is deemed crucial that -we act on these 
now to ensure that our children and the succeeding generations will inherit a living earth 
with all of its bountiful natural resources and vibrant wildlife. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly urged.
