EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to declare the unclassified forestlands located in Barangay San 
Francisco Sur in the Municipality of San Guillermo, Province of Isabela, as alienable and 
disposable lands for agricultural, residential, and other commercial purposes, except those 
portions covered by the government’s environment protection and natural resources 
conservation programs.   
The Sangguniang Bayan of the Municipality of San Guillermo issued Resolution No. 
66A, Series of 2020 seeking the conversion of portions of public forest or timberland in 
Barangay San Francisco Sur into alienable and disposable land.  The resolution stated that 
significant development took place in the area through time, including the establishment of 
residential, instructional, and social centers in the barangay.  It was emphasized that the 
conversion of those portions of forestland will serve as a milestone for further development 
and a catalyst for updating the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of San Guillermo, 
Isabela.  The land where the barangay sits is still part of public land, and it is only through a 
passage of a legislative measure that the same may be reclassified.   
By converting the land into alienable and disposable land, the people of Barangay San 
Francisco Sur will get the chance to own the land and use the same for other purposes needed 
by the community.  The nightmare of being displaced in the very place where the people 
developed their roots, built friendships, educated, and socially interacted will finally end, and 
the long-awaited dream of legally owning the space where their abodes sit will finally be a 
reality.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
