Secretary of Health administrative control, including authority to
make, promulgate and enforce in and for said reservations and in or
upon the waters thereof such rules and regulations consistent with law
as may be necessary for the efficient control, protection, and
management of the Culion Leper Colony, was repealed by virtue of

Health of its jurisdiction over the Culion Reservation and

cutting, gathering and removing of bakawan and nipa leaves, as well as,
for fishing by outsiders with the consequent depletion of these natural
resources which heretofore have been properly conserved and intended
for the exclusive use and welfare of the leprosy patients in the colony;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
