House Bill No. _________ 
Introduced by Representative SHIRLYN L. BAÑAS-NOGRALES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This Bill seeks to reclassify certain parcels of land of the public domain in General 
Santos City as alienable and disposable lands. 
The City of General Santos has a total land area of 492.86 square kilometers inhabited 
by a population of 697,315 as of 01 May 2020.  The latest census figures in 2020 denote a 
positive growth rate of 3.42%, or an increase of 102,869 people, from the previous population 
of 594,446 in 2015. (PSA, 2020 Census of Population and Housing). With the influx of 
migrants from all over the country to seek a better life on its limited but fertile land area, 
there is an urgent need to avert the looming challenges in housing, resettlement, and food 
security in General Santos. 
Not only the population of the City of General Santos has grown in the last decades 
but remarkable growth in economic activity has also been recorded. The city plays a vital role 
in the economy of Mindanao.  Based on the 2019 Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness 
Index Survey, General Santos City is considered as the 3rd Most Competitive Highly-
Urbanized City in Mindanao.   General Santos City, being the only highly-urbanized city 
in South Central Mindanao and the 3rd largest economy in Mindanao, is the hub of commerce 
and trade in SOCCSKSARGEN or Region XII.  It has four (4) major gateways: the 
international airport, seaport, fish port, and land transport hub. 
The city owed its growth and development from hosting major industries that include 
agribusiness, banking, e-services, tourism, manufacturing, and trading.  The city’s export 
value in 2019 amounted to US$1.06 billion came mainly from fresh and canned tuna, fresh 
and canned pineapple, and crude coconut oil. The city is home to seven (7) out of eight (8) 
tuna processing plants in the country. It is also hosting the highest number of business 
establishments in Region XII reaching to 11,386 in 2019 and the highest number of banking 
institutions, hospitals, DOT-accredited hotels, and malls in the entire region. 
Although endowed with the perfect ecosystem, the momentum for its full economic 
growth and development cannot fully take off just as yet.  The land classification of a big 
portion of General Santos City limits the optimum utilization of its natural resources and 
discourages the entry of investors in manufacturing and production.  Thus, removing the

impediment to land ownership would encourage the entry of more investments in the city and 
further spur the growth of business opportunities, trade, and industries. 
Many of our residents who have long been tilling forest lands cannot apply for land 
title to their occupied areas. Once these areas are reclassified into alienable and disposable, 
our marginalized farmers will have the chance to be provided with permanent dwellings, 
viable sources of livelihood, and optimum development in agriculture to meet the demand for 
food of our ever-increasing population. 
Finally, 47.95% of the total land area of General Santos City, or 23,796.46 hectares, 
was classified as protected areas or forest reserves way back a long time ago under Land 
Classification Map 700.  However, the current ground survey of these forest lands would 
readily reveal that portions of these forestlands, or 13,997.66 hectares, have a slope lesser 
than eighteen (18) degrees.  Also, the actual use of the portions of these forestlands is deemed 
to be more valuable, or being utilized, for agriculture, housing, or industry. 
In view of the foregoing, urgent approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.

approval of this Act, not to exceed twelve (12) hectares per applicant: Provided, That 
prior to distribution of lands to private individuals, the DENR, in consultation with the 
City Government of General Santos, shall reserve lands or lots issued in the name of 
the City Government of General Santos for the site of essential public purposes or 
services such as school buildings, health centers, roads, plazas, greenbelt, and similar 
offices or purposes: Provided, further, That except in case of hereditary succession,

be converted into other land use within the period of twenty (20) years from the 
issuance of title thereof: Provided, finally, That stretch of land of twenty (20) meters 
width in agricultural areas or three (3) meters width in urban areas, from both banks of 
the rivers, creeks, and natural depression that serve as waterways, shall be preserved 
as permanent forestland and shall be planted with indigenous tree species, to be 
maintained at all times by the DENR and the City Government of General Santos.       
 
Section 3.  This final use of the herein declared alienable and disposable lands

the vegetation therein shall be protected, preserved, and enhanced.  To this end, no 
additional forest occupant shall be allowed entry thereto nor any type of additional 
human settlement permitted therein.  Infrastructure projects shall not be constructed 
within the forestland unless allowed by the Secretary of DENR after conducting an 
environmental impact assessment of the proposed project. 
 
Section 5.  Within three (3) months following the effectivity of this Act, the 
National Mapping and Resource Information Agency (NAMRIA) shall issue the final 
land classification maps covering the territorial jurisdiction of the City of General 
Santos and shall also establish the boundary on the ground between the permanent 
forestlands and alienable and disposable lands with concrete monuments at corners, 
major monuments every one (1) kilometer, and visible cut lines, signboard and 
uniformly-spaced distinctive trees between the concrete monuments which shall be 
maintained at all times. 
 
Section 6.  Within six (6) months following the effectivity of this Act, the 
Secretary of DENR shall issue the implementing orders, rules and regulation, or 
circular necessary to effectively implement the provisions hereof. 
Section 7.  If any provision of this Act or the application of such provision to 
any person or circumstance is declared invalid or unconstitutional, the remainder of 
this Act or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall 
not be affected by such declaration. 
 
 
Section 8.  All laws, presidential decrees, resolutions, executive orders, rules 
and regulations contrary to or inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby
