House Bill. No. 4. 9Q4

BY REPRESENTATIVE SUN J. SHIMURA

AN ACT

DECLARING CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND LOCATED IN THE
MUNICIPALITIES OF BANTAYAN, MADRIDEJOS, AND STA. FE
IN THE PROVINCE OF CEBU, A PROTECTED AREA WITH THE
CATEGORY OF PROTECTED LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE
UNDER THE NATIONAL INTEGRATED PROTECTED AREAS
SYSTEM, TO BE REFERRED TO AS THE BANTAYAN ISLAND
PROTECTED LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE, PROVIDING FOR ITS
MANAGEMENT, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Bantayan Island, located in the Province of Cebu, is a region of
immense ecological and aesthetic value, home to a rich diversity of native
flora and fauna. Human activities, however, pose a significant threat to this
natural environment. Recognizing the urgent need to preserve these vital
biological resources for present and future generations, this Bill seeks to
declare certain parcels of land within the Municipalities of Bantayan,
Madridejos, and Sta. Fe as a protected area.

This proposed legislation, to be known as the "Bantayan Island Protected
Landscape and Seascape Act," categorizes the designated area as a
Protected Landscape and Seascape under the National Integrated Protected
Areas System (NIPAS). By doing so, it ensures the conservation,
protection, management, and rehabilitation of this critical ecosystem. The
Bill emphasizes that the effective administration of the Bantayan Island
Protected Landscape and Seascape (BIPLS) will be achieved through
collaborative efforts among the National Government, local government
units (LGUs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private entities,
and local communities. Furthermore, it mandates that any use and
enjoyment of this area must align with the principles of biological diversity
and sustainable development.


The Bill outlines the specific metes and bounds of the Bantayan Island
Protected Landscape and Seascape, encompassing various mangrove
blocks and an elevated water recharge area, along with the surrounding
seascape . These areas, once declared, will fall under the constitutional
classification of a national park.

To ensure effective management, the Bill establishes a Protected Area
Management Board (PAMB) within ninety (90) days of the Act's
effectivity. The PAMB will be a multi-sectoral body, chaired by the DENR
Regional Executive Director for Region VII, and will include representatives
from provincial and local governments, congressional districts, barangays,
various national government agencies, NGOs, people's organizations,
indigenous cultural communities, academic institutions, and the private
sector. The PAMB will be responsible for overseeing the BIPLS's
management, approving plans and programs, allocating financial
resources, setting fees, and enforcing regulations .

Complementing the PAMB, a Protected Area Management Office (PAMO)
will be established, headed by a Protected Area Superintendent
(PASu). The PASu will be accountable for the day-to-day management,
Protection, and administration of the BIPLS, including preparing
management plans, enforcing laws, and monitoring activities within the
protected area .

Financially, the Bill creates the Bantayan Island Protected Landscape and
Seascape Integrated Protected Area Fund (BIPLS-IPAF) to support projects
within the BIPLS and the broader NIPAS. This fund will be generated from
fees and charges, contributions, and other operational income. A significant
portion (75%) of the revenues will be retained by the PAMB for direct use
in the BIPLS, while the remaining 25% will contribute to the national NIPAS
fund. The fund can also be augmented by grants and donations.

Finally, the Bill incorporates the prohibited acts and penalties outlined in
Sections 20 and 21 of Republic Act No. 7586, as amended by Republic Act
No. 11038, ensuring legal enforceability. It mandates the Secretary of the
DENR to include the implementation of this Act in the Department's
Program and to issue the necessary implementing rules and regulations
within ninety (90) days of its effectivity.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this Bill is earnestly
sought. —

REP. SUN J. SHIMURA
