EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to classify a parcel of timberland in Barangay Marcilla, Coron,
Palawan as alienable and disposable land for residential, commercial, industrial or other
productive purposes.

‘The 1987 Constitution mandates Congress to determine the specific limits of forest
lands and national parks and to distribute alienable lands to qualified citizens to achieve the
goals of national economy, which includes the expansion of productivity as a key to raising
quality of life. Congress is also directed to give highest priority in the enactment of
measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity, reduce
social, economic, and political inequalities, and remove cultural inequities by equitably
diffusing wealth and political power for the common good.

It is in this context that, after due deliberation, a parcel of timberland in Barangay
Mareilla, Coron, Palawan became the subject of possible reclassification into alienable and
disposable agricultural land. The allocation and distribution of said parcels of land will
enable the community and other entities to utilize the property into productive land that will
benefit the municipality of Coron and the entire nation.

Considering that Coron, Palawan is one of the top tourist destinations in the country
known for its natural attractions and scenic views, the conversion of the subject land will
will greatly benefit the utilization of idle lands and provide meaningful and lasting
opportunities to our workforce, through the anticipated increase in tourism infrastructure,
tourism receipts and job generation.

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