HOUSE BILL No. 3829

Introduced by Representative Nicasio M. Aliping, Jr.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to exclude certain portions of Parcel No. III of the Forbes Park
Reservation in Baguio City from the Operation of Proclamation No. 10 dated 09 February
1924 and Proclamation No. 63 dated 06 August 1925 and to declare the excluded portions
open to disposition under the provisions of Republic Act No. 730.

This bill was introduced as House Bill No. 2167 during the 15" Congress by former
Rep. Bemardo M. Vergara. It was approved by the Committee on Natural Resources and
substituted by House Bill No. 3974 which was approved by the House of Representatives and
transmitted to the Senate.

‘The area is a fully-developed community inhabited by about 1000 families who live
in residential houses which are mostly two-storey single detached structures made of
permanent materials. The community has a barangay hall, senior citizens multi-purpose hall,
church, day-care center, school, covered court, health center, and well-paved roads and
pathways maintained by the city government. The release of the area and its declaration as
open to disposition under RA No. 730 would enable qualified residents to apply for title to
the land which they have occupied for a long time.

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