Introduced by Honorable Herminia B. Roman
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to reclassify portions of Roosevelt Protected Landscape
consisting of two (2) parcels of land with a total land area of Two Hundred
Fourteen (214) hectares, located in the Municipalities of Dinalupihan and
Hermosa, Province of Bataan, as alienable and disposable land.

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 7586, otherwise known as the National
Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992, the Roosevelt National
Park has been declared as a protected area. Later, by virtue of Proclamation No.
273 issued on April 23, 2000, the said protected area was named as the Roosevelt
Protected Landscape which constitutes seven hundred eighty-six and 04/100
(786.04) hectares.

The parcels of Roosevelt Protected Landscape being applied for
reclassification have been identified to be more suitable for commercial and
residential purposes owing to the fast development pace of the Municipality of
Dinalupihan, in particular, and the Province of Bataan in general. Although the
area now serves as tourist destination, there is a need to address the settlement
problem of inhabitants since the area has become densely populated. Thus, the
reclassification of these lands from protected area to alienable and disposable land

is hereby enjoined.
