The Boracay Chamber of Commerce and Industry declares its full support to the enactment into law of House Bill No. 1109.
The Boracay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, PCCI-Boracay, welcomes the latest Supreme Court decision affirming the validity of Presidential Proclamation No. 1064 which classified more than half of Boracay Island as alienable and disposable.
Prior to Proclamation No. 1064, the island of Boracay was never classified, as ruled by the Supreme Court. But by virtue of the classification made in the Proclamation, specific areas have been declared as alienable and disposable, and, therefore, open to titling by their current land owners. The Supreme Court has recognized the right of these land owners to apply for the titling of their properties in accordance with the existing laws.
Admittedly, the existing laws are not well-defined and do not provide for clear and definite procedures for titling of properties. House Bill No. 1109 authored by Cong. Joeben Miraflores is intended to clear these legal ambiguities, and to simplify the titling process over the alienable and disposable areas. This House Bill was passed in the lower house and is now pending in the Senate. /MP
