HOUSE BILL NO. 4508

Introduced by Honorable Carlos M. Padilla

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to dectare a portion of the unclassified timberland located in
Barangay Villaflores in the Municipality of Sta. Fe, Province of Nueva Vizcaya as
alienable and disposable land for residential purposes.

The portion of the unclassified timberland applied for reclassification have
long been occupied by the beneficiaries of the Rural BLISS I Housing Project of
the defunct Ministry of Human Settlement since 1979. This parcel of land is
covered by lot 2705 CAD 768 consisting of about 23,729 square meters and
located at Barangay Villaflores, Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya. Presently, there are 68
units of houses built therein and with a population of more or less 500 residents
who have been exclusively occupying and cultivating the area for more than 30
years. Being residents of the area since 1979, the beneficiaries of the Rural BLISS
1 Housing Project request to have the timberland reclassified as alienable and
disposable so they may periect their claim over the lots that they presently occupy
and may reap the benefits of the improvements which they have made on the land.
Also, it would fulfil their long and elusive dreams to own the land.

In consonance with ‘ne “land for the landless” >olicy of the government,
and to settle land problems in the Municipality of Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya,
immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
