Introduced by Honorable Reynaldo V. Umali

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to declare the unclassified forestlands located in Sitios
Cabuya and Sinariri of Barangay Panaytayan in the Municipality of Mansalay,
Province of Oriental Mindoro as alienable and disposable lands for agricultural,
residential and other purposes.

The unclassified forestlands of two sitios of Barangay Panaytayan, in
Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro have been exclusively occupied in good faith by
residents or farmers for various agricultural activities for a long time. These
unclassified forestlands or lands of the public domain have not, however, been the
subject of the present system of classification for the determination of which lands
are needed for forest purposes or which are not. Furthermore, they are still
inalienable and non-disposable for agricultural, residential and commercial
purposes, thus depriving the occupants of the opportunity to perfect their claim
over the lands.

With this bill, the occupants-beneficiaries will have the opportunity to own
the lands they occupy after due survey, delineation and classification. Hopefully,
it will ensure increased productivity to meet the demands for an improved quality
of life of an increasing population, Furthermore, it will also establish and promote
order in the proper classification, management and utilization of unclassified
forestlands under the principles of social justice and sustainable economic
development as enshrined in the 1987 Philippine Cogistitution.

In view of the foregoing, approval of thi stly sought.
