Many barangays, namely, Barangays: Bambang, Bis;
Anak, Balimbing and 'T; in the Municipality of Calaca ar
timberlands. Some areas have even been declared as integrated social fores
which very few residents were awarded certificates of stewardships, at the expense of a
majority of the residents. Although the certificates were later withdrawn, the affected
esidents request to have the forest or timber lands be declared ot reclassified into
igricultural lands, so that they may reap the benefits of the
improvements which they have already made on the land they occupy. ‘This will also
enable these residents to seck administrative (free patent) or judicial legalization of their

Defining its Scope and Coverage and for Other Purposes.” Also, it must be noted that

‘This bill also enjoins the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), in addition to fixing the metes and bounds of the land to be declared as
agricultural land open to disposition for residential, commercial, industrial or other
productive purposes.

In Tine with the “land for the landless” policy of the government, and to settle

Jand problems in the Municipality of Calaca, approval of this bill is urgently requested.
