EXPLANATORY NOTE
Art. XII, Sec. 2 of the Constitution states that "All lands of the public domain,
waters,  minerals,  coal,  petroleum,  and  other mineral  oils,  all  forces  of potential
energy,  fisheries,  forests  or  timber,  wildlife,  flora  and  fauna,  and  other natural
resources are owned by the State. With the exception of agricultural lands, all other
natural resources shall not be alienated."
To overcome the presumption of State ownership, the positive action of the
government through the passage  of the  Commonwealth Act No.  141,  otherwise
known  as  the  "Public  Land  Act"  enacted  in  1936,  with  the  purpose  that  the
government from time to time classify the lands of the public domain into Alienable
or Disposable, Timber, and Mineral lands, and may at any time and in a like marmer
transfer such lands from one class to another, for the purposes of their administration
and disposition.
This  bill  aims  to  reclassify  a  parcel  of the  public  domain  located  in  the
Municipality of Cabanglasan,  Province  of Bukidnon to  alienable  and  disposable
land. By converting a portion of public lands, this will ensure proper management
and distribution for economic growth and most importantly, will secure titles and
claims of the beneficiaries.
In view of this foregoing, approval of this bill is eamestly sought.
