EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Article XIII Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides, to wit: 
-il'fmtr 
~ff.;. <If Ill';:;vr"! .. ~ 
14 JAN 20 P6 :22 
"Section 1. The Congress shall give highest priority to the enactment of 
measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity, 
reduce social, economic, and political inequalities, and remove cultural 
inequities by equitably diffusing wealth and political power for the common 
good. 
To this end, the State shall regulate the acquisition, ownership, use, and 
disposition of property and its increments." 
In furtherance of the aforequoted provision coupled with the enactment of this bill into law, 
will result in enhancing the rights of informal settlers by providing an additional safeguard 
that would ensure that the basic services they are entitled to under Republic Act 7279, 
otherwise known as the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992, are properly 
implemented and sufficiently funded. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
