EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to declare the El 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 El Nido-Taytay 
Managed Resource Protected Area by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 32, 
dated October 8, 1998. 
This bill, therefore, seeks to declare the El 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.
