SIXTEENTH CONGRESS
Second Regular Session

Introduced by Representative TEODORICO T. HARESCO, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

This bill seeks to reclassify certain portions of Forestlands consisting of parcels of land
with a total land area of Nine Hectares and 95/100 (9,95) hectares, located in the Municipality of
Malay, Province of Aklan, as alienable and disposable land,

Pursuant to Proclamation No, 1064, Boracay Island situated in the aforementioned
municipality has been classified into four hundred (400) hectares of reserved forest land
(protection purposes) and six hundred twenty-eight and 96/100 (628.96) hectares of agricultural
land (alienable and disposable), subject to actual ground survey and delineation, ‘The
Proclamation likewise provided for a fifteen-meter buffer zone on each side of the centerline of
roads and trails, reserved for right-of-way and which shall form part of the area reserved for
forest land protection purposes.

The parcels of land being applied for reclassification, based on actual ground survey and
delineation as mandated by Proclamation 1064, have been openly and continuously inhabited
and/or occupied for a long period of time even prior to the issuance of said proclamation, It has
been identified to be more suitable for commercial and residential purposes owing to the fast
development pace of the Municipality of Malay, but perhaps due to oversight, was inadvertently
not included in the reclassification, Although the area now serves as tourist destinations, 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
