HOUSE BILL NO. 1345
Introduced by Representative LORDAN G. SUAN 
AN ACT  
RECLASSIFYING A PARCEL OF LAND OF PUBLIC DOMAIN LOCATED IN 
MACANHAN, BRGY. CARMEN, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, PROVINCE OF 
MISAMIS ORIENTAL FROM TIMBERLAND TO ALIENABLE AND 
DISPOSABLE LAND 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The subject parcel of land which this bill seeks reclassification and 
declaration as alienable and disposable is a portion of Lot 3817, Cad. 237 
located in Macanhan, Brgy. Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental. 
At present, it is classified as Timberland of public domain. Upon consultation 
with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Lot No. 3817, 
Cad. 237 had been subdivided under plan Csd-10-025117 comprising 395 
lots. However, a portion of said parcel of land, specifically Lot 46451-394, 
Csd-10-025117 containing an area of One Hundred Seventeen Thousand 
Four Hundred Seventy-six (117,476) Square Meters can be reclassified as 
disposable and alienable. Upon further investigation, a portion of this land is 
hilly and might pose danger to present and future occupants. The DENR, 
after thorough analysis on the slope requirement, recommended that only a 
portion of Lot 46451-394, Csd-10-025117 containing an area of Eighty 
Thousand Five Hundred Fourteen (80,514) Square Meters can be 
reclassified as alienable and disposable.  
Furthermore, the City Council of Cagayan de Oro passed on October 3, 
2022, Resolution No. 14295-2022 requesting this representation to file a bill

2 
in Congress for the conversion of a portion of Lot 3817 containing an area of 
Eleven (11) Hectares, from timberland to alienable and disposable land. The 
same lot surveyed by the DENR. The City aims to use this land as a 
resettlement area for its residents. It must also be noted that Lot 3817, 
though classified as timberland, has already been occupied by settlers, for a 
long time. Its land classification deprives the government of potential 
development initiatives and revenues. 
Upon satisfying the recommendation of the Mines and Geosciences 
Bureau of the DENR for appropriate mitigating measures of relevant 
authorities, this representation seeks that said subject parcel of land be 
reclassified as alienable and disposable. 
In light of the preceding, this bill’s approval is fervently sought.
