Introduced by REP. FAUSTINO ‘INNO’ A. DY V 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to declare the unclassified forestlands located in Barangay Aringay in 
the Municipality of San Guillermo, Province of Isabela, as alienable and disposable lands for 
agricultural, residential, and other purposes, except those portions covered by the 
government’s environment protection and natural resources conservation programs.  
 The population in the Municipality of San Guillermo significantly increased through 
the passage of time and some of them settled in Barangay Aringay.  Based on the Land Use 
and Operations map and data of the Community and Environment Resources Office 
(CENRO) in Cauayan City, Barangay Aringay is classified as a forestland.  This forestland 
may be converted into alienable and disposable through the act of Congress.  
The Sangguniang Bayan of the Municipality of San Guillermo where Barangay 
Aringay sits issued Resolution No. 66-A Series of 2020.  The resolution states that in 
Barangay Aringay, significant development took place including the establishment of built-
up areas such as residential, instructional, and social centers in the said barangay. Further, the 
resolution emphasized that the conversion will serve as a milestone for further development 
and will hasten the updating of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of San Guillermo, 
Isabela.  Moreover, this step is in accord with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of San 
Guillermo which has been an important direction that the municipality has been tirelessly 
promoting.  Hence this bill. 
By converting the land of Barangay Aringay into alienable and disposable land, the 
people in the community will be given the opportunity to own the land they occupied for 
years and legitimize their stay in the area.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
