EXPLANATORY NOTE

Land ownership in the Philippines and elsewhere has invariably been a determinant of
one’s economic profile, his social creditability. For the banking industry, easier access 10
personal borrowings is afforded a person who owns land, Those with housing loan packages,
government owned or otherwise, prefer lending to land owners. This, for at least two
underlying reasons: First, unless by some ex/ra-human intervention, land is one asset that
cannot be physically concealed. Second, land ownership, insofar as our civil laws is
concerned, carries a bundle of economic rights, such as the right to enjoy the land and its
fruits, the right to exclude others from such enjoyment, and the right to dispose of the land for
a valuable consideration, among others. These rights, if actually utilized, could very well
bring about the constitutional vision of an “improved quality of life for all”.

‘The 1987 Constitution, recognizing the value of land ownership, has mandated the
distribution of lands, especially to poor landless tenants, as a measure of social justice. Also,
it expressly authorizes the conversion of timber or forest land into alienable and disposable
land.

This bill seeks the conversion into alienable and disposable land a portion of
timberland within the Municipality of Oras in the Province of Eastern Samar, particularly in
Barangays Factoria, Saugan, Dalid, Bagacay, Dao, Japay, Bantayan, Mabuhay, Burak, Bato,
Kalaw, Agsam, Tawagan (Poblacion), Binalayan, Naga-Naga and Trinidad (Maycorot).

Indeed, economic growth and development for the hundreds of families living within
the areas specified in this proposed measure will be hastened once this bill is admitted into
our legal system.

Hence, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
