Question & AnswerQ&A (PROCLAMATION NO. 271)
The Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources recommended the issuance of Proclamation No. 271.
The lands are reserved for various public purposes including municipal building sites, markets, dispensaries, puericulture centers, playgrounds, plazas, parks, cemeteries, parking spaces, reading centers, water tanks, swimming pools, school sites, post-office buildings, and hospital sites.
The municipality of Parang primarily has administrative control over most of the reserved parcels, while some school sites are under the administration of the Bureau of Public Schools, the post office site under the Bureau of Posts, and hospital site under the Bureau of Hospitals.
No, the reservation is subject to private rights, if any there be, meaning that existing private rights are respected unless otherwise specified.
The specific lot numbers and survey plans precisely identify the parcels of land reserved, including their boundaries, area, and location, ensuring legal clarity and proper land administration.
The land boundaries are defined using survey plans, bearing true directions, distances in meters, referenced to the Bureau of Lands Land Monument (B.L.L.M.), and marked by old corners or P.L.S. concrete monuments with the date of survey noted as July 31, 1952.
No, the proclamation explicitly withdraws these parcels of land from sale and settlement to reserve them for specific public purposes.
The date and signature of President Ramon Magsaysay authenticate the proclamation, validating it as a legal act of the government effective from that date.
