EXPLANATORY NOTE

The entire island of Bantayan including certain islets thereof and that of
Daanbantayan were declared wilderness by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 2151. The
island of Bantayan consisting of the municipalities of Sta. Fe, Bantayan and Madridejos has a
total land area of Thirteen Thousand Three Hundred Thirteen (13,313) hectares, more or less.

Time immemorial the island of Bantayan and the other islets thereof and that of
Daanbantayan have been inhabited. The main industries in the island are fishing, poultry and
tourism. Tourism has become the major economic contributor in the island. There is no
denying the fact that with the influx of tourism, demands for transportation and
accommodation complete with water, electricity and communication facilities must be met.
The different infrastructure thereon must therefore be developed. To do so, the government
must aggressively take the necessary step to attract private individuals and entities willing to
pour investments to provide the services needed.

Moreover, during the super typhoon Yolanda which badly hit the island, almost all of
the residents thereof had been displaced. There were out pour of support to build new houses
for those who were rendered homeless by the typhoon including the National Housing
Authority, however, many did not materialize because of the hindrance cause by the
wilderness status of the island.

The conversion or reclassification therefore of certain lands of Bantayan island and
Daanbantayan from wildemess into agricultural, commercial, residential, industrial and for
other similar productive purposes must be the government’s initiative to answer the needs of
time. The reclassification of these lands will pave the way to the establishment of different
infrastructures and services that would cater the needs of the island.

Considering the magnificence and the rich local heritage of the island, the
government’s affirmative stance in reclassifying these areas will definitely contribute much
to the success of the tourism industry not only in the island of Bantayan but to the entire
country as well. Economic development will definitely soar which will pave to the creation of
significant number of jobs.

Mindful also of the intent of Presidential Proclamation No. 2151, the areas outside the
agricultural lands shall remain within the coverage of Presidential Proclamation No. 2151 and
shall be declared national parks as provided for in the Philippines Constitution.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate enactment of this bill is eamnestly requested.
