WHEREAS,
pursuant Republic Act No. 5631, dated June 21, 1969, the entire Paoay
and its extremities within one kilometer from said lake has been
declared a national park; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, the establishment of the said national park did not take into
consideration, and has in fact prejudiced, the continuous, exclusive
possession and occupation of the land area thereof under a bona fide
claim of ownership since time immemorial by such possessors, claimants
or occupants who are conclusively presumed to have performed all the
conditions essential to government grant and are, therefore entitled to
certificates of title thereto under provisions of existing laws; and
WHEREAS, over-riding considerations of equity and justice demand that
such bona fide claims, possessions and occupations be excluded from the
operation of the national park reservation established under the
aforementioned law.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby
decree and order the amendment of Republic Act No. 5631, by excluding
from the operations of said Act all lands beyond the Paoay Lake proper
at its highest water level, and declaring the same open to
disposition/acquisition under the provisions of existing laws. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
This Decree shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of the Manila,
this 11th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
seventy-eight.
