FOURTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE } 
REPUBLIC OF THE PI-IILIPPINES 
First Regular Session

S’E N A T E 
S. B. No. 1655 
Introduced by Senator Edgardo J. Angara 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Philippines is prominent for its rich and unique diversity of natural 
resources both in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Next to Indonesia, the 
country is the second largest archipeIago consisting of 7,107 islands and islets 
with a total land area of 300,000 sq. kms. The coastline of the country is 
exceptionally long covering approximately 18,000 kms. The combination of its 
complex geological origins, fragmented layout, varying exposures to shifting 
winds and typhoons and peculiar rainfall distribution gave rise to the existence 
of a complex mix of ecosystems and habitat types which support a diversity of 
life forms, About half of the country’s animal and plant diversity are native to 
the archipelago and found nowhere else in the world. In terms of cultural 
diversity, the Philippines is home to an estimated 127 ethnic groups and sub- 
groups. 
The remaining biological diversity and the ecosystems that. support them 
are under tremendous threats. Extractive industries such as logging and mining 
have destroyed most of our forests while high human population density and 
growth rate further put enormous pressure on the land. In turn, our rainforests 
have been converted into agriculture and plantations to augment the lack of land 
to support the growing population. In addition, cyanide and dynamite fishing 
along with rapid development in coastal areas, destroyed coral reefs and 
mangroves. 
To assist in the conservation of our natural biological resources, the 
establishment and effective management of protected areas is one of the 
strategies for this purpose. The representative samples of these biodiversity are 
conserved under the integrated protected areas system, the policy framework for 
which is well provided for under Republic Act 7586. 
To achieve the conservation of biological diversity and sustainable 
development in some parts of Luzon and in particular in the Province of Aurora, 
this Bill seeks to proclaim finally under the National Integrated Protected Areas 
System pursuant to RA 7586, the following areas: 
A. Aurora Memorial Protected Landscape. - The area is known to harbor 
important flora consisting predominantly of dipterocarp species such as red 


lauan (Shorea negrosensis), white lauan (Shorea contorta), tanguile (Skorea 
polysperma), mayapis (Shorea squamuda), bagtikan (Parashoreu malaanoman), 
malabayabas (Tristaniopsis decorticata) and narra (Pterocarpus indicus). Some of 
the wild fauna (birds) found in the proposed protected area which are 
considered threatened include the Philippine Eagle (Pitkecopkugu jefleryi), 
Philippine Hawk Eagle (Spizaetus philippensis), and Spotted Imperial-pigeon 
(Ducula carola), while the mammals include the Philippine long tailed macaque 
(Macacafuscicularis) and Philippine deer (Cewus philippinensis), among others. 
E. Dinadiawan River Protected Landscape - The area is a home to 
important flora consisting primarily of dipterocarp species such as mayapis 
(Shorea squamadu), white lauan (Shorea contorta), red lauan (Shoreu negrosensis), 
bagtikan (Paraskoren mralaunoman) and tanguile (Skorea polysperma) while some of 
the wild fauna found in the proposed protected area which are considered 
threatened include the Philippine deer (Cewus philippinensis), Philippine long 
tailed macaque (Macuca fascicularis), Philippine warty pig (Sus philippinensis), 
Spotted Wood kingfisher (Actenoides lindsuyi) and Pygmy swiftlet (Colloculiu 
troglodytes) among others. 
C. Talaytay River Protected Landscape - It harbors important flora 
consisting predominantly of dipterocarp species such as Apitong (Dipterocnrpus 
grandqores), mayapis (Shorea squamata), white lauan (Shoreu conforta), red lauan 
(Shorea negrosensis), bagtikan (Purashoreu malaanoman), manggasinoro (Shorea 
philippinensis), and tanguile (Shorea polysperma) while some of the wild fauna 
found in the proposed protected area which are considered threatened include 
the Philippine deer (Cervus philipenensis), 
Philippine long tailed macaque 
(Macaca fasciculuris) and abundant species of avifauna among others. 
D. Amro River Protected Landscape - It harbors important flora 
consisting predominantly of dipterocarp species such as tanguile (Skorea 
polysperma), mayapis (Shorea squamata), white lauan (Skorea contorta), red lauan 
(Shorea negrosensis), bagtikan (Parushorea mulaunomun) and makaasim (Syzigium 
nilidium) while some of the wild fauna found in the proposed protected area 
which are considered threatened include the monitor lizard (Vurunus snlvutor), 
Philippine long tailed macaque (Mucuca fuscicularis), Philippine deer (Cervus 
philipenensis), Philippine pymy woodpecker (Dendrocopos juvensis), Philippine 
kingfisher (Ceyx wzelanurus) and brahminy kite (Huliastur h d u s )  among others. 
E. Simbahan - Talagas Protected Landscape - The protected area is 
known to harbor important flora consisting predominantly of dipterocarp 
species such as mayapis (Shorea squumata), white lauan (Skorea contortu), red 
lauan (Shoreu negrosensis), bagtikan (Parashoreu malaanoman), almon (Shorea almon) 
and tanguile (Skorea polysperma) while some of the wild fauna found in the 
proposed protected area which are considered threatened include the Philippine 
deer (Cewus Philipenensis), Philippine long tailed macaque (Mucaca fascicularis), 
and abundant species of avifauna among others. 
The proposed protected areas are among the priority sites for biodiversity 
conservation in the country. 


Indeed the passage of this BiIl is a Iegislative initiative for the protection of 
the environment particularly for the conservation of representative samples of 
our rich natural heritage which is earnestly being sought.
