EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to reclassify portions of Roosevelt Protected Landscape with a total
land area of One Hundred Eighty-four and 43/100 (184.43) hectares, more or less, located

in the Municipalities of Dinalupihan and Hermosa, Province of Bataan, as alienable and

disposable land.

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 7586, otherwise known as the National Integrated
Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992, the Roosevelt National Park has been declared
as a protected area. Later, by virtue of Proclamation No. 273 issued on April 23, 2000, the
said protected area was named as the Roosevelt Protected Landscape which constitutes seven

hundred eighty-six and 04/100 (786.04) hectares.

The parcels of Roosevelt Protected Landscape being applied for reclassification have
been identified to be more suitable for commercial and residential purposes owing to the fast
development pace of the Municipality of Dinalupihan, in particular, and the Province of
Bataan in general. Although the area now serves as tourist destination, there is a need to
address the settlement problem of inhabitants since the area has become densely populated.
Thus, the reclassification of these lands from protected area to alienable and disposable land

is hereby enjoined.


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