HOUSE BILL No. _3703

‘Introduced by Rep. Sittie Aminah Q. Dimaporo and Rep. Imelda Quibranza Dimaporo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to declare the Sultan Naga Dimaporo Protected Landscape and
Seascape within the Municipality of Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Province of Lanao del Norte
as component of the National Integrated Protected Areas System under the category of
protected landscape and seascape.

Republic Act No. 7568, otherwise known as the “National Integrated Protected
Areas System (NIPAS) Act”, provides the legal framework for the establishment and
management of protected areas in the Philippines. Initial components comprising of
proclaimed national parks, game refuge and wildlife sanctuaries, nature reserves,
wilderness areas, mangrove reserves, watershed reservations, fish sanctuaries, and
protected landscapes and seascapes were previously identified under NIPAS Act. There
are initial components and areas which have specific laws for their establishment such as
Batanes Island Protected Landscape and Seascape, Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park,
Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and Central Cebu Protected Landscape.

Under the law, “protected landscapes or seascapes” refer to areas of national
significance which are characterized by the harmonious interaction of man and land while

providing opportunities for public enjoyment through recreation and tourism within the


normal lifestyle and economic activity of these areas. The use and enjoyment of these areas

must be consistent with the principles of biological diversity and sustainable development.

Located at the southwestem part of the Province of Lanao del Norte, the
Municipality of Sultan Naga Dimaporo is bordered on the southeast by the Municipality of
Picong in Lanao del Sur, on the west by the municipalities of Tukuran and Aurora, both in
Zamboanga del Sur, and to the south by the trip of Illana Bay, part of Celebes Sea.

The purpose for declaring the Sultan Naga Dimaporo Protected Landscape and
Seascape, as a component of the NIPAS, under the category of protected landscape and
seascape, is to protect and conserve biological diversity and unique scenic features for
sustainable development in the area. Further it will accelerate the implementation of
programs relative to the protection and management of national ecological treasures, as
well as, the conservation and restoration of the biodiversity resources such as its flora and
fauna and their habitats.

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