HOUSE BILL No, _4831

Introduced by: FRANZ “Chicoy” E. ALVAREZ

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The 1987 Constitution mandates Congress to delineate forest
lands and national parks, and to distribute alienable lands to
qualified applicants to achieve the goals of national economy, one of
which is to expand productivity as a key to raising the quality of life
for all. In line with this, the State is further mandated to "promote
industrialization and full employment for all based on sound
agricultural development and agrarian reform through industries
that make full or efficient use of human and natural resources",

In Palawan, however, this Constitutional decree has been sadly
ignored or set aside in favor of other equally important measures and
due to the scarcity of funds, thus leaving vast tracts of land still
unclassified and unutilized.

It is in this context that, after due deliberation, a parcel of
land in Barangay Poblacion, Municipality of San Vicente, Province of
Palawan, became the subject of possible reclassification from a
simple timberland into an alienable and disposable agricultural land


The goal is to cause said land to be allocated to and
utilized by responsible individuals or entities that will be able to
turn the property into productive land for the benefit of the nation,
without compromising its natural beauty and/ or depleting the natural
resources therein.

Considering that Palawan is one of the most popular and
attractive tourist destination spots in the country as well as in
Southeast Asia, the conversion of the subject land will not only
spur productivity and cause the equitable distribution of more lands
to our countrymen, but will also provide more opportunities for
employment and greatly contribute to the national development and/
or the Philippine tourism industry if properly utilized.

For the foregoing reasons, the immediate passage of this _ bill is
earnestly requested.
