Introduced by Hon. Robert Ace S. Barbers

AN ACT DECLARING AS AGRICULTURAL LAND CERTAIN PARCELS OF LAND OF
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN SITUATED WITHIN THE CITY OF SURIGAO, PROVINCE OF
SURIGAO DEL NORTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill is a re-filed version of a measure that was tediously deliberated upon and approved
during previous Congresses.

‘The measure seeks to declare as agricultural land three (3) parcels of land consisting of about
six hundred forty-nine and 3466/10,000 (649.3466) hectares of land of the public domain
located in Surigao City, Province of Surigao de! Norte.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources shail alienate the said parcels of land
pursuant to the provisions of Commonwealth Act 141 or the Public Land Act as amended;
republic Act No. 730, Sale Without Public Auction of Public Lands to Qualified Applicants
under Certain Conditions; and other public land laws. Provided, that Twenty (20) meter strips
of land on both sides along rivers and creeks, for stream bank protection, shall be retained as
timberland and shall be planted with trees by the Department of Natural Resources and by the
City Government of Surigao.

The areas are currently classified as timberland, but actual land use is residential, industrial,
and commercial by thousands of landless residents of Surigao City. Proof that the residents
have been in the area for decades is the presence of permanent houses and weil-paved roads,
provided by the local government in response to the clamor for basic services.

Thru this legislation, security of tenure by way of land patents, will be pravided to the actual
residents.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is urgently sought.
