EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

House Bill No. 14°

Introduced by Representative GERALDINE B. ROMAN

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

SD Anais

sought.
