INITIAL PROTECTED AREA PLAN

FOR PROCLAMATION NO. 1636

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Legal Basis

On April 18, 1977, Presidential Proclamation (PP) No. 1636 was issued
declaring certain portions in the provinces of Quezon, Rizal, Laguna and
Bulacan as National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve.

On June 1, 1992, Republic Act 7586 was enacted providing for the
establishment and management of National Integrated Protected Areas
System defining its scope and coverage and for other purposes known as
the NIPAS Act of 1992.

Subsequently, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources

issued Administrative Order No. 25 on June 29, 1992 which set forth the
implementing rules and regulations governing the implementation of R.A.
7586 and was later amended by DENR Administrative Order No. 2008-26
dated December 24, 2008.

Being proclaimed prior to RA 7586, the area covered by Presidential

Proclamation No. 1636 was designated as one of the initial components of
the System (NIPAS).

Thereafter, and pursuant to RA 7586 and its implementing rules and

regulations, the Protected Area Management Board for PP 1636 was
formed, comprised of members-stakeholders coming from the provinces of
Quezon, Laguna and Rizal as the governing body in the management
thereof. However, in view of the issuance of PAMB Resolution No. 2005-03
which indorsed the modification of the boundaries of PP 1636 into Parcels 1
and 2 as a result of the Protected Area Suitability Assessment (PASA)
conducted sometime in 2004, the PAMB members of Laguna and Rizal was
eventually excluded from the membership leaving behind the members at
the Quezon Side.

As indicated under DAO 2008-26, which revised DAO 25, Series of 1992,
the preparation of Initial Protected Area Plan (IPAP) based on the results of
the PASA and plans of the Local Government Units (LGUs) and other
stakeholders shall be prepared to serve as basis for the planning and
budgeting and management of the protected area until established through
presidential proclamation or by law and a management plan is approved by
the PAMB.

B. Rationale

The vast portion of the National Park Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve
covered by Proclamation 1636 is still very much forested. Valuable
hardwoods mostly belonging to dipterocarp species, wildlife (flora and
fauna), and rich mineral deposits are still available therein.

However, characterized by its rich, diverse and productive natural

resources, the National Park has suffered much for several years now from
indiscriminate abuses caused by legal and illegal loggers, timber poachers,
1
 charcoal manufacturers, miners, wildlife poachers, land speculators, and
kaingineros. The illegal activities of these unscrupulous individuals and
groups have resulted in severe land degradation and loss of biodiversity due
to significant reduction of natural forest cover. Although there are laws
designed to control and manage the use of our natural resources, immediate
economic incentives that go along with its use have oftentimes been
considered by residents and/or communities living therein including those at
its vicinities instead of the natural resources environmental and conservation
value. And the recent road opening created through the resumption of the
Marikina-Infanta Road Project which facilitated the influx of migrants within
the confines of the Park has posed a more serious threat to the resources
therein.

Coupled with aforesaid illegal human activities, the National Park is not
spared from natural occurrence of typhoons being situated along the eastern
sea board. In 2004, the area was hit successively by three (3) typhoons and
suffered much from devastating flash floods which claimed several lives,
damaged crops and properties, and destroyed infrastructures. The area,
specifically Infanta and General Nakar, were inundated by floodwaters and
debris due to massive landslides emanating from steep mountain slopes
caused by abnormal heavy rainfall, sedimentation, vegetation slip and
damming of rivers and creeks.

As a result of the aforementioned catastrophic incident, the REINA area was

placed under a total log ban. But despite issuance of said policy, illegal
timber poaching, kaingin-making and charcoal manufacturing has continued
to go unabated due to absence of alternative livelihood to communities who
have depended a lot for quite some period of time to the natural resources
available therein. And the demand for wood for household needs such as
firewood, furniture, house repairs and/or construction, and even tables,
doors and chairs for school needs, including those required for government
infrastructure projects did not stop after the imposition of the log ban policy
but even went up due to the continuous development in the REINA area.

The foregoing situation depicts a bleak reality that almost all of the National
Parks in the country, not only the Proclamation 1636, are into. Threats from
the communities within and outside of the Park as well as from natural
calamities are very much present in the area. And it is for these reasons
that proper management, conservation and protection of the National Park
covered by PP 1636 under the NIPAS law is deemed imperative if only to
save and enhance whatever remains of the biodiversity contained therein
which serves as life support system not only to the local but global
communities as well.

II. SITE DESCRIPTION

A. Location

The National Park Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve covered by

PP1636 is located in the Northern part of Quezon Province covering three
(3) municipalities, namely: Real, Infanta and Gen. Nakar or REINA for short.

The area is situated between latitudes 14°36’ N and 14°55’ S and longitudes
121°30’ E and 121°40’ E within the province of Rizal, Laguna and Quezon.
The National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve is traversed by
Marcos Highway from Marikina City to Infanta, Quezon passing through the
Sierra Madre Mountain Range (per LC Map No. 751) and the Famy, Laguna
– Infanta, Quezon National Highway.
2
B. Area

The approximate area of Proclamation No. 1636 in Quezon side consists of

43,545 has. which include a large portion of Agos-Kaliwa Watershed,
Infanta-Famy Forest Reserve (FR 99) under Proclamation No. 5828 and
portions of the classified Alienable and Disposable as well as Timberland of
the municipalities of Real, Infanta and Gen. Nakar, Quezon (per PASA result
conducted in 2004 ).

Hereunder are the barangays within REINA area that fall within Proclamation
1636:

C. Climate

The climate prevailing in the area belongs to the 2 nd climatic type, which is
characterized by no distinct dry season and pronounced rainy season. Wet
season is observed during the months of October to February.

D. Elevation and Topography

The National Park has an elevation which ranges from 100 m. to 1,334
meters above sea level (masl) and with an undulated terrain ranging from
rough mountainous to moderate terrain.

E. Soils

Soil is a natural surface layer that is capable of supporting the plants. It

forms the upper –most layer of the earth’s crust which is made up of organic
and inorganic matter. The organic matter is the decomposing fragments of
plants and animals. The inorganic components of soil are weathered rock,
air, water and minerals. Plants and animals living in the soil improve
aeration and drainage (Enviro Facts 1991).

There are three (3) major soil type conditions that can be found within PP
1636. These are mountain soil (with entisol, inceptisol, ultisol), tropudults
(with tropudalfs, tropepts and oxisols) and entrocepts, which are described
as follows:

 Mountain soils with entisols are characterized with little soil profile
development because they are considered as young soil. These are
often developed on bed rock, lava flows or on alluvial (river) materials
where there has no time for soil formation to take place. Some entisols
are found on steep slopes where run off strips away and erodes
weathering material faster than the action of soil forming process.

 Inceptisol soils are prominent in mountainous areas in the tropics.

These soils are not highly productive and usually slow to revegetate.
Slow revegetation process promotes soil erosion and mass movement
thus, soil conservation practices are highly recommended.

 Ultisols are soils that have undergone extensive weathering and

mineral particles are easily leached. These soils are usually low in
agricultural productivity.

 Tropudults with tropudalfts, tropepts and oxisols are fine loamy

soils, with well developed structure. It has adequate nitrogen and base
status which makes them relatively fertile.

 Entropepts with dystropepts are derived from calcareous materials,

slightly developed usually highly fertile and with deep soils. The soil type
is appropriate or conducive for growth of seedlings and high survival rate
could be expected.

F. Vegetative Cover and Land Uses

Flora and Fauna

4
 PP 1636 is dominated by dipterocarp species like Dipterocarpus,
Parashorea, Shorea, Hopea and Pentacme. Non-dipterocarp species are
also present in the area such as: Ficus, Diospyrus, Syzigium, Aglaia,
Calamus species and different orchids. There are patches of Imperata
cylindrica and Sacharum spontaneum and other species of grasses and
minor forest products.

Wild fauna are also found in the forested portion with abundant species of
birds, wild pigs, jungle fowl, owl, and deer. There are identified endangered
species in the area to include Rufuos and Tarictic hornbill, coucal, Philippine
Forest Kingfisher, spotted wood kingfisher and Luzon little crow, Painted
quail, etc. (insert proper references). (insert annexes on the list of flora and
fauna/biodiversity study, corresponding locations) (quantity of flora and
fauna) (CITES Category, endemicity and DAO 2007-01).

Existing Land Uses

National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve has an enormous

number of settlers with permanent and semi-permanent establishments
especially along the Famy-Infanta National Road in the municipality of Real
accompanied by uncontrolled buying and selling of rights involving land
speculators.

In Barangay Magsaysay, Infanta, Quezon particularly at Sitios Kamagong,

Querosip, Tigkay, Kitataronton, Salok, Panapian, Queborosa, the entry of
land speculators is very rampant. There are identified associations that
encourage the influx of migrants such as the New Little Baguio Farmers
Association and the Kalao Farmers Association of the Philippines, Inc.
There are also individuals who are engage in this illegal activity..

There are forested portion of the proclamation which is the source of illegal
timber poaching, kaingin farming, charcoal-making, orchid collection and
wildlife hunting.

An identified group of tenured migrants formed their association as Kaisahan

ng mga Layuning Nakaugat sa mga Gawaing Nag-uugnay (KANLUNGAN).
The association was awarded with Protected Area Community Based
Resources Management Agreement (PACBRMA) since their claims are
within the multiple use zone and the Samahan ng Magsasaka sa
Kabundukan ng Kanan Kinanliman (SMKKK).

G. Roads and Infrastructure

The roads traversing Proclamation 1636 include the Famy-Infanta National

Road with a length of approximately 50 kilometers and the nearly completed
Marikina-Infanta Road connecting Marikina City in the metropolis and
Infanta, Quezon in the eastern sea board.

Bridges which connect municipalities and barangays include the Infanta-

General Nakar Bridge (Agos), Tignoan Bridge, Kiloloron Bridge, Capalong
Bridge, Talisay Bridge, Pinagkahulugan Bridge, Kinanliman Bridge, Bantilan
Bridge and mostly small bridges connecting barangays.

Majority of households within the National Park dwell in single structure

houses. It is closely followed by households with dwelling units in makeshift
structure. Some of the lowland households already live in bungalows while
5
 those in the inner portion of the mountainous areas have a makeshift type
dwelling units.

After the 2004 calamity, several housing units within identified relocation
sites were provided both by the government and private agencies/sectors
like ABS-CBN and GMA Kapuso to provide shelter for those who were left
homeless by the tragedy.

(insert map showing the infrastructures in the area)

H. Water resources

There are three (3) sub watersheds, namely: Kanan, Kaliwa and the Agos
Sub-Watersheds within Proclamation 1636. The basin is characterized by
its rich and productive natural resources anchored on its diversified forest,
land, coastal and fishery resources.

Based from the latest classification of water bodies, Agos River is classified
as "Class B”. (DENR Memorandum Circular No.17, Series of 2009). Agos
River is considered as Recreational Water Class I primarily for recreation
such as bathing, swimming, and skin diving. This area is designated for
tourism purposes (DAO No. 34, Series of 1990).

Households in the upstream barangays of the Park utilize the Kanan and
Agos Rivers as their means of transportation through the use of motor boats
and bancas.

VI. KEY MANAGEMENT ISSUES

A. Threats to the remaining resources of PP 1636

The area covered by PP 1636 has long been subjected to various activities
which tend to pose threats to its integrity.

Since most of the portion of the National Park is still forested, illegal activities
such as timber poaching, charcoal manufacturing and kaingin-making are
observed to be prevalent within the confines of the Park, together with other
activities such as uncontrolled development, influx of migrants and or
7
informal settlers, operation of solid waste disposal facility, etc., as described
below:

1. Timber poaching

Records of DENR, Region IV-A would reveal that voluminous illegally-cut

timber products
have already been confiscated within PP1636 and its vicinities. During
CY 2009, some _____ cu.m. of illegally-cut timber were apprehended by
forest protection personnel of CENRO Real, Quezon, and most of which
is believed to have come from the protected area covered by PP1636.

2. Land speculation and influx of migrants and informal settlers

The National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Game Preserve has an

enormous number of settlers with permanent and semi-permanent
establishments especially along the Famy-Infanta National Road in the
municipality of Real where uncontrolled buying and selling of rights
involving some land speculators is prevalent.

The road opening which traversed PP 1636 brought about by the

Marikina-Infanta Road Project has triggered the entry of migrants within
the National Park seeking land for their dwelling places as well as for
other economic purposes.

In Barangay Magsaysay, Infanta, Quezon particularly at Sitios

Kamagong, Querosip, Tigkay, Kitataronton, Salok, Panapian and
Queborosa, the entry of land speculators is observed to be very rampant.
There are identified associations that encourage the influx of migrants
such as the New Little Baguio Farmers Association and the Kalao
Farmers Association of the Philippines, Inc. There are also some
individuals who are engage in this illegal activity, like _________ and
____________.

The opening brought about by the Marikina-Infanta Road Project has

triggered the entry of migrants within the National Park seeking for land
as well as other natural resources for livelihood opportunities.

3. Illegal mining/Quarrying

4. Wildlife poaching

5. Charcoal-making

With the rich timber resources within PP 1636, the road opening brought
by the Marikina-Infanta Road Project has rendered the National Park
vulnerable to numerous migrants who resorted to charcoal-making as
their means of livelihood. The same could be observed within PP 1636,
especially at Brgy. Magsaysay along the Marikina-Infanta Road Project.

6. Swidden farming/kaingin

The practice of kaingin-making or swidden farming has long been being

done in the country. The same could also be observed within PP 1636,
especially along the newly opened portion of the Marikina-Infanta Road
Project.

Management Constraints

1. Budgetary constraints

With meager budget being allocated to the Protected Areas and Coastal
Zone Management Sector of the DENR which implements the provisions
of the NIPAS Act, the management of protected areas such as the PP
1636 is expected to face some constraints. During CY 2009, a total of
only _______ was allocated to some activities concerning the operation
of PP 1636 like the conduct of PAMB meeting, IEC, foot patrolling.

2. Lack of personnel

Out of the ______ total workforce of CENRO Real, Quezon, only

_______ personnel are directly working under the Protected Areas and
Wildlife Section (PAWS) who are tasked to implement the various
activities concerning the operation of PP 1636.

It is for this reason that the CENR Officer of Real, Quezon was
designated as the Protected Area Superintendent (PASu) of PP 1636, in
concurrent capacity, in order that other personnel of CENRO Real may
be tapped to support the PAWS in carrying out its assigned tasks.

But still, with the vastness of the area covered by Proclamation 1636,
coupled with the limited mobility of personnel due to the absence of
service vehicle, as well as the relatively aging condition of the personnel
of CENRO Real, the task of protecting it from illegal activities and
instituting restoration/rehabilitation efforts therein without the active
support and participation of the PAMB and its members including all its
stakeholders would seem next to impossibility.

3. Turfing among concerned agencies

4. Non-participation of local communities

The success of any endeavor such as the protection and conservation of

the remaining resources within Proclamation 1636 will not come into a
reality without the support and participation of the local communities
therein.

5. peace and order situation

6. weak and less-effective coordination (what makes it weak and

less-effective) and partnership among concerned agencies and
stakeholders

7. Presence of lawless elements

9
 8. Frequent turn-over of DENR Officials/Personnel

VII. SITE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

Technical and Administrative Planning

A. Resource Assessment

The biophysical resource assessment is conducted but needs further

assessment of the area from the Protected Area Suitability Assessment to
know the extent of the land uses, the types, the amount, composition and
distribution of forest resources and other features of the park.

B. Habitat Rehabilitation Program

Using native/indigenous species that thrives within PP 1636, rehabilitation

shall be undertaken by employing any of the following developmental
interventions in areas where they are deemed appropriate:

a. Reforestation – the open grasslands and denuded portions shall

immediately be reforested by the DENR, private organizations and local
communities. Funding shall come from DENR and LGU.

b. Assisted Natural Regeneration/ Enrichment Planting – shall be

implemented in areas with low vegetation density and logged over
areas.

c. Agro-forestry - The existing kaingin/cultivated portion shall be managed

as agro-forestry sites. It should be planted with agricultural crops and
forestry crops. Technicians shall supervise the agro-forestry areas if the
actual owners are the tillers. If not, the PASu shall have the right to
reclaim and devote it to other developmental efforts (e.g. refrorestation,
ANR/EP, etc.)

d. Roadside Tree Planting – The Famy-Infanta National Road and the

Marikina-Infanta Road Project shall be rehabilitated and maintained
through roadside tree planting and maintenance of the existing
plantations along the national road. Feeder roads shall be planted with
trees to maintain the green features thus also minimize the noise
pollution of passing vehicles.

C. Resources Protection Program

Basic to implementation of any resources protection program within

protected areas is the delineation of its boundaries. The absence of clear
boundaries is the most serious issue in the management of protected areas.
As a consequence, encroachments and human settlements go on unabated,
resulting in continued degradation of the forest and other flora and fauna in
the protected areas. So, as part of instituting resources protection program,
delineation and demarcation of the boundaries of Proclamation 1636 shall
precede all enforcement efforts within the area.

Upon proper delineation and demarcation of its boundaries, billboards shall

be posted at strategic locations within the Park to inform the public of its
legal basis, boundaries, coverage, including the prohibited activities therein.
Protected area field officers shall be hired and/or designated to conduct
10
 patrol works and effect the strict implementation of the provisions of the
NIPAS Act as well as other existing environment and natural resources laws,
rules and regulations. Cooperation, support and participation of local
communities, LGUs and their formations such as the Barangay _________
and Municipal Peace and Order Council, POs, NGOs and civic
groups/formations such as the Metro ReINA Multi-stakeholders Forest
Management Council, Task Force Sierra Madre, etc. shall be solicited.

Sally port shall be installed at the Park boundaries along the Marikina-Infanta
Road to control the entry and exit of vehicles to and from the protected area
and thereby preclude entry of unscrupulous individuals.

D. Eco-Tourism Program

Eco-tourism program shall be implemented in the municipalities of General

Nakar and Infanta in order to take advantage of the rich eco-tourism
resources in the two municipalities. Areas with unique natural features such
as waterfalls, rapids, cliffs, habitats of rare fauna, and scenic trails which are
expected to draw numerous eco-tourists who wanted to take a glimpse of the
said areas shall be assessed and developed as follows:

1. Balagbag Falls – The established falls have an approximate

area of 7.6510 hectares located in So. Balagbag, Brgy. Tignoan, Real,
Quezon. It is approximately 3.5 km. away from the national road and it
is accessible by all means of transportation. The falls is within the
Proclamation 1636.

2. Mount Binuang Summit – the paths leading to Mount

Binuang Summit shall be developed into a network of nature trails,
canopy walk and monkey bridges/labels/tags shall be put on selected
species of trees and other plants along the nature trails, guideposts
shall be placed along the route to help trekkers find their way inside the
forest. Important wildlife habitat/animal/lairs, plant species and
scenic/important descriptions mounted on permanent structures.
Canopy walk shall be constructed on the way to Mount Binuang
Summit over the deep ravine and Maigang Falls to allow trekkers to
have a feel and breath-taking view of forest canopy and the wildlife
found therein. It shall also serve as an alternative route for the more
physically challenging trail below the ravine. Monkey bridges shall be
constructed over small gullies and creeks.

The Binuang Summit shall be maintained and rehabilitated. The

viewing decks shall be upgraded and installed with telescopes and
sheds. The steps shall be reconstructed to minimize hazards to
trekkers. A flagpole and a marker shall be placed at the summit to
emphasize its historical significance.

3. Magsaysay Hot Spring and Waterfalls – this should be

developed into resort and rest area whose main attraction shall include
viewing decks, picnic areas, natural pool, cascades and nature trails.
The viewing deck shall be upgraded and provided with telescope to
afford visitors of the panoramic view of the forested portion of the
national park. A visitors processing center/ticketing office shall be
located at the entrance to the hot spring and waterfall areas. A network
of nature trails shall be constructed in the vicinities. Sheds and picnic
tables shall be placed along the park and the cascades. Kiosks and
snack bars shall be constructed at the entrance to serve both the

11
 visitors of the pool and the viewing deck. The entire area shall be
landscaped to enhance the natural characteristics of the site.

Several applications for Special Use Agreement within Protected Areas

(SAPA) are also being processed at CENRO Real, Quezon mostly for eco-
tourism purposes such as the following:

Proposed CPE Ecotourism Area, So. Pinlak

LGU Infanta Ecotourism Area
Areas indicated in the KWMP Green Tourism Subprojects

Other areas that need to be assessed and may be developed for eco-tourism
purposes include:

 Tigkay Falls, Brgy Magsaysay

 Nunok Falls, Brgy Malapad, Real
 Cawayan Falls, Brgy Cawayan, Real
 7-up Falls, Pob. 1
 Caves

E. Interpretation Program

F. Management Zoning

1. Strict Protection Zone

The strict protection zone covers 32, 000 has. more or less. In particular,
the strict protection zone refers to areas with high biodiversity value,
which shall be closed to all human activity except for scientific studies,
