House Bill No.

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE BENHUR L. SALIMBANGON

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The entire island of Bantayan consisting of the municipalities of Sta Fe, Bantayan and
Madridejos together with the islets therein and the islands of Malapascua and Camasa of of the
‘municipality of Daanbantayan all found in the 4" District of Cebu Province have been bestowed by
nature with beautiful and pristine white sand beaches. These islands are now considered favorite
tourist destinations amount foreigners and locals alike.

Certain areas in Bantayan Island and the islets therein and whole island of Malapascua and
Camasa are lands of public domain. These areas with a total area of Thirteen Thousand Three
Hundred Thirteen (13,313) hectares more or less are, by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No.
2151, declared as wilderness. As such, they cannot be alienated and disposed.

With the influx of tourism in these areas, demands for transportation and accommodation
complete with water, electricity and communication facilities must be met. The transportation,
‘communication and infrastructure services of these islands must therefore be developed. To do so,
the government should aggressively take the necessary step to attract private individuals and entities
willing to pour investments to provide the services needed.

‘The conversion or reclassification therefore of these areas in the islands of Bantayan,
Malapascua and Camasa from wildemess into agricultural lands for agricultural, commercial,
residential, tourism and for other similar productive purposes must be the government’s initiative in
achieving the above objective. These lands which have remained idle and unproductive for a long
period of time, once reclassified as proposed, will certainly open the opportunity for business and
economic development. The reclassification of these lands will pave the way to the establishment of
transportation, communication, and infrastructure services that meet the requirements of a greater
number of tourists from around the globe. These islands, like that of Boracay, will undoubtedly be
included among the world’s famous tours destinations and another addition to Philippines’ pride


Considering the magnificence and the rich local heritage of these islands, the government's
affirmative stance in reclassifying these areas will definitely contribute much to the success of
tourism industry not only in the islands of Bantayan, Malapascua, and Camasa but to the entire
country as well. Economic development will definitely soar which will pave way to the creation of
significant number of jobs

Mindful also of the intent of Presidential Proclamation No. 2151, the areas outside the
agricultural lands shall remain within the coverage of Presidential Proclamation No. 2151 and shall
be declared national parks as provided for in the Philippine Constitution.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate enactment of this bill is earnestly requested.
