KORONADAL CITY, December 12 (PIA) -- The protection and conservation of Mt. Matutum watershed which is a vital water source in region XII will gain further momentum once a bill establishing Mt Matutum as protected area will be enacted into a law. | |||
South Cotabato second district representative Daisy Avance-Fuentes is pushing for the passage of House Bill Number 3832, an Act establishing Mt. Matutum as protected area under the category of protected landscape, providing for its management and for other purposes. | |||
The bill is co-authored by South Cotabato first district representative Pedro Acharon, Jr. and Sarangani lone district representative Emmanuel Pacquiao. | |||
Mt. Matutum was declared a protected landscape on March 25, 1995 through Presidential Proclamation No. 552 signed by then President Fidel V. Ramos. | |||
The purpose of the bill, it was pointed out, is to formally and finally declare Mt. Matutum as part of the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS). | |||
On its part, the SOCSKSARGEN Area Development Project Board passed Resolution Number 03, series of 2011 supporting the approval of House Bill 3832. | |||
Likewise, the Regional Development Council, region XII approved a resolution supporting the same bill during its 36th regular meeting in Alabel, Sarangani. (OTSUDARIA/PIA12) | |||
