Introduced by Representative GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO 
AN ACT MANDATING THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND 
NATURAL RESOURCES TO DECLARE A PORTION OF THE CLARK SPECIAL 
ECONOMIC ZONE AS ALIENABLE AND DISPOSABLE LAND AND FOR OTHER 
PURPOSES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ), spanning an area of 28,041 hectares, 
more or less, in  the cities and municipalities of Angeles, Mabalacat and Porac in 
Pampanga, and in Capas and Bamban in Tarlac, was established to transform the former 
Clark Air Base into a self-sustaining industrial, commercial, financial, and investment 
center in Central Luzon, attracting foreign trade, investment and tourism. Currently, the 
CSEZ has an international civil aviation complex, modern industrial estate, hotels and 
recreational areas. 
The lands covering the CSEZ remains to be part of the inalienable and disposable 
public domain, either in the name of the Republic of the Philippines or the Bases 
Conversion Development Authority (BCDA). The current classification of CSEZ poses a 
challenge to its full development as a economic and business hub for Luzon and Asia.  
This bill aims to further accelerate the development of the CSEZ by mandating the 
Department of Environment and Natural Resources to declare a portion thereof as 
alienable and disposable land of public domain to incentivize qualified Filipinos and 
Philippine corporations from acquiring ownership of portions of CSEZ utilizing the same 
for residential and other mixed-use purposes. 
For the reasons above-cited, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
