FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2018
CHAPTER I
Background and Rationale
The formulation of Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) is a multipart agreement between the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Region IX-, Zamboanga Peninsula and the
Municipality of Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay. This is pursuant to Joint Memorandum Circular
Number 98-01, where the DENR and the LGUs together with other government agencies shall
undertake forest land use planning as an integral activity of comprehensive land use planning to
determine the optimum and balance use of natural resources to support local, regional and national
growth and development. This partnership is subject to the provisions of the Local Government Code
(RA. 7160) and National Policies where the LGUs shall share with the national government the
responsibility in the management and maintenance of ecological balance within their territorial
jurisdictions.
The Municipality of Malangas is located between 17 o 32’ North latitude, and 122o 56’ East
o
and 123 04’ East longitudes of North-West portion of the Zamboanga Sibugay Province. It is
approximately 82 kilometers Southwest of Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur by land and about 74
kilometers northeast of Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay by land to which the Municipality of Malangas
presently belong, and about 210 kilometers Northeast of Zamboanga City by land.
According to the Cadastral Survey of the DENR on March, 2013 under Malangas Cadastre
PB-09-000055, the municipals’ total land area has 12,061.4050 hectares and currently divided into
twenty five (25) political barangay, ten (10) of these are coastal .Although partly of the areas are
under the mining reservation, most of these areas are already occupied and cultivated by farmers and
depend on the product of agriculture.
Slope of the lands plays a vital role in the context of land capability. In the case of Malangas
municipality, most of the terrains are considered as generally rolling near the shoreline and these areas
are utilized as agricultural area and planted with permanent crops. However, soil erosion becomes a
serious problem when its carrying capacity exceeds the minimum allowable, especially when it affects
1
town and agricultural areas. Moreover, due to denuded forest land, soil erosion is now on its critical
level. Malangas is also traversed by several rivers and creeks which makes the agricultural production
very favorable. But on the contrary, during heavy rains, low lying areas experienced flooding
especially areas along the rivers. Also, siltation had been observed in areas near the mouth of rivers
and even in the mangrove areas in Malangas. Indeed, Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) is highly
recommended to alleviate the potential risk of floods and other natural calamities. Moreover,
rehabilitation, proper management and protection of forest resources will improve the lives and
properties of the local communities in the municipality of Malangas. The formulation of the forest
land use plan of Malangas is expected to improve and ensure the sustainable forest management, soil
and water conservation, aquatic resources, biodiversity conservation and food security.

CHAPTER II
Methods and Processes in the Preparation, Legitimization and
Approval of the FLUP
The formulation of FLUP of Malangas was initiated by the DENR-CENRO Imelda with
technical assistance from the TWG and other stakeholders of Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay headed
by CENR Officer Diomides M. Pablo. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was formalized and
signed by Municipal Mayor Marcelo M. Baquial, Jr., TWG, DENR-CENRO Imelda and other
stakeholders involve in the formulation of FLUP. A series of training/workshop was conducted by a
multi FLUP Technical Working Group (FLUP-TWG). The training is consists of Profiling and
Mapping associated with secondary data gathering in preparation of Situational Analysis. Afterwards,
forest land allocation, plan preparation and legitimization are also performed (Figure 2).

LEGITIMATION
DENR
APPROVAL
1. Preparatory Activities
Preparatory activities include LGU orientation on the FLUP, signing of the Memorandum of
agreement (MOA) for the joint formulation of the FLUP, creation of the FLUP technical working
group (TWG), and orientation of the TWG on the FLUP process. As discussed earlier, the FLUP
orientations for the LGU and the TWG were initially undertaken by the DENR-CENRO Imelda
starting in May 2018. Signing of the MOA for joint FLUP orientation was delayed until __________
because of the needed allocation appropriate funds and resolution from the Sangguniang Bayan
authorizing the municipal Mayor to sign the MOA. The FLUP TWG is consists of multi sectoral and
was headed by the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator.

2. Data Gathering and Analysis
After the FLUP orientations, the FLUP TWG of Malangas started to collect data and maps
needed in preparing the LGU profile and the necessary thematic maps. The whole month of ____ was
spent in profiling and mapping activities as well as in gathering of secondary data and preparation of
thematic maps. TWG members from Malangas LGU and from other sectors were mainly responsible
in gathering the socio-economic information, while the DENR was tasked to generate thematic maps
necessary for the map overlay analysis. The data and maps gathered were assessed by the TWG in a
workshop held on date and venue to determine their adequacy and data gaps. Collection of data gaps
and validation of outdated information were done from date/duration.
On September 2018, situational analysis training was conducted among members of the TWG
of Malangas. In this training the TWG assessed the condition and trends of FFL assets, the users and
uses of these assets and the capabilities of institutions involved in the management of forests and
forestlands. At the end of the training, FLUP TWG members were able to prepare a draft situational
analysis report with proposed zoning and allocation maps.
3. Preparation of the Draft FLUP

After completing the situational analysis, members of the FLUP TWG of Malangas formulated
the LGU’s FLUP vision, goals, objectives and strategies (VGOS) including the financial requirements
for its implementation. The VGOS were formulated during the write shop organized on November
2018 where members of the FLUP TWG of Malangas together with TWG members of other LGUs
started to consolidate and draft the FLUP document. At the end of this write shop the TWG was able
to prepare a rough draft of the FLUP of Malangas, which was further enhanced during the months of
November and December.
4. Review and Legitimization of the Draft FLUP

The draft FLUP of Malangas was jointly reviewed by the DENR and the LGU officials on date
in Pagadian City with the Municipal Mayor attending as one of the Panel of Reviewers. After
deliberations and a few comments from the panel the draft FLUP was favorably endorsed, for
legitimization by the Sangguniang Bayan and approval by the DENR Regional Executive Director of
Region 9.

CHAPTER III
Scope and Limits of the Forest Land Use Plan
The focus of FLUP is how to allocate and manage the forest and forestlands on its best way.
However, the impacts of the forest to the lowland areas especially on the agricultural infrastructure
and settlement in alienable and disposable lands must be considered.
Preparation of FLUP was actively participated by the LGU, DENR and key stakeholders
especially in analyzing and gathering consensus on how various stakeholders could work together to
protect and manage the remaining forests and to implement forestry rules and regulations. Therefore
the allocation and management of the forest lands into the existing natural forests in the municipality
would be more effective.
The planning process used the watershed as the planning unit since it covers the boundary that
influences the different political units within sub-watershed. The approach allows the stakeholders to
see the relationship between the upland and the lowland areas and resolve boundary conflicts of the
adjoining municipalities.
A. Areas covered by the FLUP
The Forest Land Use Plan covers the entire forests and forestlands within the
jurisdiction of the municipality that includes mangrove forests and the contested areas along
the adjacent boundary of the municipality of Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay.
B. Technical Focus of the FLUP
Being familiar with the importance of sustainable forest and forestland management,
the DENR and LGU of Malangas had formulated strategies adopting the principles of
transparency, accountability and participatory governance focusing on the management and
development of the watershed to improve the proper utilization of the resources therein.
6
Therefore, the purpose of FLUP is to allocate the open access for functional watershed
and restore life system support. It covers both the upland and the mangroves areas that are
unallocated. The unallocated forestlands are called “Open Access Areas”. The FLUP
emphasis the following watershed development strategies:
 Strengthen and improve, conserve and protect biophysical presents;

 Encourages the adjoining local stakeholders to adopt the upland and lowland relationships
including the trans-boundary influences among political units within the sub-watersheds
and;
 Adopt watershed and ecosystem framework using the “Ridge to Reef” concept inclusive to
agriculture and fishery, infrastructure, tourism, settlements and livelihood development
system;
 Proper allocation of Open Access forestlands to improve management over the identified
and prioritized areas;
 Restore Life System Support;
 FLUP is a best initiative for preserving healthy community of people, initiative for Climate
Change Adaptation (CCA), Mitigate Disaster Risks (MDR);
 FLUP is precisely a best way in responding the declared global warming and reduce
carbon emission.
C. Data Sources and Limitations in Data and Maps
The limitation of the FLUP is that it is considered as an Indicative plan. The Data and
Maps are not accurate although it is computer Generated. The Maps are useful only for
planning purposes. The data and maps therefore should be used as reference in determining
exact boundaries, considering that FLUP be applied beyond political boundaries.
D. The Plan Duration
The implementation of FLUP has duration of ten (10) years from 2018 to 2028, which
is subject to review and updating/revision every three (3) years consistent within the
7
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Within his period, all open access areas are expected to be
issued with land tenure instruments and placed under effective on-site management. However,
the result of the plan would depend on how the different stakeholders would cooperate in the
implemented planned activities.

CHAPTER IV
Key Findings
The summary information of municipality of Malangas is provided in this chapter including

the forests and forestland (FFL) assets and their uses. Moreover, stakeholders and the different
institutions are mandated to manage the forests and forestlands and how to regulate the use of natural
resources. As a result, visions, goals, objectives and strategies are created based on the problems,
issues, needs and opportunities that are identified during the assessment.
Physical Profile
LAND AREA
The total land area of Malangas municipality after the creation of barangay Sta. Fe and
Diplahan including its adjacent areas into two different and new municipalities was approximately
23,550.2645 hectares. However, upon the conduct of Cadastral Survey by the DENR on March, 2013
under Malangas Cadastre PB-09-000055, the municipals’ land area decreases to 12,061.4050 hectares.
It is presently divided into twenty five (25) barangay political areas. Although majority of the
areas are under the mining reservation, most of these areas are already occupied and cultivated by
farmers.
Urban Area:
The urban area of Malangas was estimated at 120 hectares as embodied in Resolution No. 165,
series of 1975, however the built-up area increases to more or less 130 hectares due to reclamation of
government projects in market reservation area and improvements of private claimants in the
foreshore area.
Rural Area:
Aside from the urban area, majority of the area of Malangas municipality are rural in nature.
Most of these areas subsist on the product of agriculture. It is divided into twenty four political
barangays, ten of these barangays are coastal.
9
Topography:
The terrains of the municipality of Malangas may be considered as generally rolling near the
shoreline and mountainous in the hinterland with some patches of flat land located within the
mangroves near the shorelines and rice producing barangays in Catituan, Tigabon, and Guilawa.
Malangas is also traversed by several rivers and creeks which makes agricultural production very
favourable.
CLIMATE
Malangas has a mild and invigorating climate like most of the municipalities of Zamboanga
Sibugay, which was Type IV climate. In the hinterland which is more or less 400 meters above sea
level experienced cold climate from sunrise to sunset. It was also noted that Malangas has no definite
dry or wet season, however on the average the dry season started from December to April and wet
season or rainy days started early in May to November.
Typhoon is unknown in the municipality of Malangas, except for the strong wind that the
southwest monsoon may bring during the later part of the year.
HYDROLOGIC FEATURE
The land configuration of Malangas may be considered from irregular to very irregular which
ranges from very flat in some areas to rolling hills then to very steep lands. The geologic feature of
the land varies from area to area.
Water aquifers in flat land (Low/valleys) are found ranging from 30 ft. to less, while in the
rolling and steep land they are ranging from 30 ft. several hundred feet below the surface.
NATURAL DRAINAGE
The municipality of Malangas is traverse by several rivers, creeks, and canals, all discharging
towards the sea such rivers/creek like Manabing, Lipacan, Catituan, Sinusayan, Sugba, Camanga, La
Dicha and other.
10
Drainage in the Poblacion of Malangas posed no problem, as Poblacion is located in a sloping
area, except portion in the market area where some canals are very shallow.
FLOODING HAZARDS AND EROSION POTENTIAL AREAS
Only very limited areas experienced flooding in the municipality of Malangas. During heavy
rains, low lying areas along the Lipacan River, Catituan River, and La Dicha River are affected by
floodings, however, the effect is minimal.
Soil erosion becomes a serious problem when its extent surpasses the minimum allowable,
especially when it affects town and agricultural areas. In Malangas, soil erosion is now on its critical
level due to denuded forest land. Siltation had been observed in areas near the mouth of Lipacan
River, Sinusayan River, Sugba River and even in the mangrove areas of Dansulao, Tackling, Palalian,
Lipacan, and Poblacion. It is recommended that the river banks and denuded areas should be planted
with trees for the conservation of the soil therein.
SOILS
The soil in the municipality of Malangas is classified as Antipolo clay and some portion
located in the mangroves/seashore as hydro soil. Antipolo clay loam is suitable for various crops for a
year round cultivation. In some area proper soil management should be considered to preserve the
areas suitable for crop propagation. Crops suitable to this type of land are; Upland rice, corn, coconut
and pasture land. Also vegetable/legumes and other diversified crops maybe cultivated with good
yields.
Hydro soil is the type of soil where mangroves/marshy trees grow. This type of soil is suitable
for fish ponds or aquamarines culture.
SLOPE
In the context of land capability, the slope of the lands plays a vital role. In the municipality of
Malangas, most of the lands are rolling hills with slopes ranging from 0% - 8%, 8% - 15% or 15% to
as high as 30%. Most of these areas are utilized as agricultural area and planted to either stable or
permanent crops.
11
The Poblacion of Malangas is situated on 8% - 15% slopes. Expansion of the urban area
maybe recommended either through reclamation or towards the plateau portion of the town.
Demography
POPULATION
a. Population Trends:
The population of Malangas recorded in different census years showed an abnormal rate of
change. Table 1 shows that from 1960 to 1970 the population increased normally at a rate of 2.41
percent annually.
The decrease of population during the period from 1970 to 1980 was the result of the fluid
peace and order situation prevail the area that some people evacuated to safer places. During the
period from 1975 to 1980 the two municipalities of Imelda and Diplahan located in the Northern part
of Malangas was created whose area were mostly part of Malangas. These decrease the total area of
Malangas to 23,550.2645 hectares more or less. However, in March, 2013 a cadastral survey was
conducted by the DENR under Malangas Cadastre PB-09-000055 which resulted to the decrease of
the area of Malangas to 12,061.405 hectares, about 48.78 percent of the total land area of Malangas
decreased.
From 1990 to 2000 the population increased to 0.277 percent annually which shows that
people from other places migrated to Malangas to avail job opportunities with the opening of the
Philippine National Oil Company Malangas Coal Corporation (PNOC – MCC) in 1978.
Shown on the following table are the comparative population of the municipality with respect
to the province and the Region.

KEY STAKEHOLDERS OF THE LGUS FFL ASSETS
Arrangement for Forest Resources Management
Basically, the stakeholder analysis was conducted in order to establish a proper arrangement
on the relationship of several stakeholders in the forest and Forestland resources with the end in view
of harmonizing the necessary programs, projects and activities of the LGU FFL implementation
process.
15
Agriculture
FOOD PRODUCTION:
a. Crop Production:
One of the major economic activities of the people of Malangas is farming, due to the
presence of fertile soil and an invigorating climate suited for the propagating/cultivation of
agricultural crops such as coconuts, rice, corn, root crops, vegetables, rubber, coffee and
others.
Rice and corn are the important staple crops of the people of Malangas. More or
less 90 % of the people are cereal eater while less than 10 % depends on root crops.
Coconut farming is the largest area cultivated by farmers with an area of 5,727
hectares or 68.90% of the total developed agricultural land. This area was intercropped with
other crops like corn, upland rice, mango, banana, coffee, etc. Records of the Municipal
Agriculture Office showed that Malangas Municipality has 8,312.55 hectares of developed
agricultural land, 121.352 has. classified as residential area, 37.026 has. institutional areas,
2.0 has. commercial area, 12.644 has. industrial area, 910 has mangrove area, more or less 5
has. patches of forest land located in the remote barangays of Buntong, Overland, and Molom
and 2,660.1884 has. may be classified as undeveloped agricultural land, grassland/pasture
land and steep slope areas.
The percentage of the Municipality’s land area devoted to crop production

reached more or less 68.92 % based on the average land areas devoted to major crop
production of about 8,312.55 hectares (shown in table 6).
There are agricultural support facilities existing in the Municipality of Malangas to

improve crop productions such as the following:
1. All Barangays of Malangas are inter-connected with barangay roads, only one of
the 25 barangays (Buntong) is inter-connected with earth filled roads which made

Livestocks and Poultry Production

a. Livestock Production:
Majority of the farmers of Malangas are also engaged in livestock or poultry raising,
however, only in small scale. Those are mostly utilized for domestic consumption. Farm
animals such as carabaos, cattle and horses are mostly raised as working farm animals.
Based on the livestock population during the period from 2007 to 2010, as shown in
the records of the MAO, only poultry and swine populations may be considered of
commercial raising, Although these are very minimal considering the demand per capital per
year of 54 kg.
The government through the MAO/DA is also extending technical and financial
supports to farmer engaged in livestock and poultry raising. Among the technical assistance
extended by the government through the MAO is the transfer of technology of the following:
1. Livestock technology transfer such as:

- castration - vaccination
- immunization - de-worming
- feeds and feeding - disinfection
- artificial insemination
2. Livestock Dispersal
There are no large pasture land being utilized, although these are potential pasture
land.

b. Fisheries:
Malangas has recorded coastlines of 36.80 kms. which covers 11 coastal barangays
namely; Sinusayan, Bacao, Logpond, Tigabon, Tackling, Lipacan, Poblacion, Kigay,
Dansulao, Mabini, and Palalian. Majority of the populations of these coastal barangays
engaged on fishing. Table 11 shows that 2,189 engaged as full time fishermen and 471 were
part time fishermen using different fishing gears with 104 motorized boat and 489 none
motorized boat used in different fishing activities.
There are good potential areas for fish pond development in Malangas located in
barangay Tackling, Dansulao, Mabini, Palalian, and Lipacan, however, fish pond owners
were not able to fully develop their area due to the unstable peace and order condition in
some coastal barangays. Malangas has recorded 910.664 hectares of mangroves/swamp areas.
Productive fish ponds are located in the barangays of Dansulao, Lipacan and Tackling with
an estimated area of 65.00 hectares.
The municipal waters of Malangas have different variety of fish. The recorded fish
production for calendar year 2010 is 408.94 which decreases by 258.15 metric tons or
38.70% compared to that of year 2009 (Table 11). The declining fish catch of Malangas was
affected by the presence of illegal fishing activities, illegal cutting of mangroves, weak
enforcement of coastal and fishery laws, and piracy within the area of dumanguillas bay.
Peak season occurs during the months of November to March and lean seasons occur during
the months of April to October. Fishing facilities includes the Municipal wharf and the
municipal fish port located in the market area.

Assessing Stakeholders’ Strengths, Weaknesses, Constraints and Role in
FLUP Implementation
KEY STAKEHOLDERS OF FORESTLAND OF MALANGAS

(Stakeholder’s Analysis)
The implementation of FLUP should foster partnership and collaboration
between the LGU, the DENR, IPs, and other stakeholders. The participation
of these stakeholders is very essential for the success in the implementation
of this plan because they are the ones who have legitimate interests in
specific forest land areas or may be affected by decisions of the use of Forest
and Forest Land (FFL). It is also very important to hear these stakeholders’
interests and influences to come up with a collective solution to certain
issues on possible uses of FFL. Thus, their commitment plays a vital role.
The municipality of Malangas has a recorded coastlines of 36.80 kms which

covers eleven (11) coastal barangays which comes to no surprise that the
majority of the stakeholders of its Mangrove Forests and Forest Lands
include the Fisher Folks, POs, Firewood Gatherers, Fishpond Developers,
and coastal communities in general. There are good potential areas for
fishpond development located in Barangays Tackling, Dansulao, Mabini,
Palalian, and Lipacan. However, fishpond owners were not able to fully
develop their areas due to the unstable peace and order condition in some
coastal barangays.
While some of coastal barangays are in the right track in the rehabilitation
of its Mangrove forests there are areas wherein cutting of Mangrove Trees is
still present for firewood and for building their houses – most specifically in
Barangays Tackling and Mabini. This activity is more intensive and
extensive which is more destructive to the Mangrove Resources. This also
indirectly affects the fisher folks; based on a study, fish production for CY
2010 is 408.94 metric tons which is a decrease of 258.15 metric tons or
38.70 % compared to CY 2009. The declining fish catch was a result of
illegal cutting of Mangrove Trees and presence of illegal fishing. Moreover,
this could also result to conflicts among these stakeholders as this activity
has an adverse effect on the Fisher folks’ fish catch which results to a lesser
income.
On positive note, according to Dansulao Fisher folks Association which was

awarded with CBFMA No. 00000209 that there were three (3) Forest Land-
use Agreement (FLAs) that were all cancelled and now, were planted with
Mangrove Trees through the CEP, UDP, CMMD, and NGP Mangrove
Reforestation Projects.
Unlike the coastal community, most of the upland settlers are into
subsistence economic activity. Some of the land uses by local applicants fall
under informal claims/ illegal claims as most parts of the Municipality of
Malangas are classified as mineral lands. ISF/ CSC and CBFM participants,
on the other hand, enjoy the legal entitlement on the land they occupy but
also limited by capitalization and technology to boost yield and income.
As needs arises, with the trend of decreasing fish catch and lesser income
from subsistence economic activity; It may encourage coastal community,
Firewood gatherers, and upland settlers to harvest more volume of Forest
and Mangrove Products to meet the demands of Traders and Buyers.
To combat the problems that may arise in the near future, it is very
imperative to tap the People’s Organization to be one of the major
stakeholders of the FFL in the Municipality of Malangas. These POs are
currently receiving funding from the DENR and DA and are presently
implementing Mangrove Forest Rehabilitation Projects. Being the direct
contact person of the DENR, these POs will be more committed and
concerned with the protection of Mangrove Forests in the Municpality.

The DENR is the lead agency mandated under EO 192 to conserve, protect,
develop and allocate forest resources and forest lands. The nearest DENR
Office tasked to work with the LGU is the Community Environment and
Natural Resources Office (CENRO). The CENR Office has a Forest
Management Services that is headed by a specialist. With a very limited
manpower, it is very important to partner with different stakeholders for the
protection of the mangrove forests and Forestland in Malangas.
Nonetheless, while the DENR lacks Manpower, it is currently implementing

the National Greening Program which funds rehabilitation programs
including Mangrove Rehabilitation. Aside from supporting mangrove
rehabilitation and protection, this program also provide alternative livelihood
to coastal communities.
The Department of Agriculture (BFAR) as the agency responsible for the

country’s agriculture and fisheries and fisheries development; it is also
involved in the management of mangroves since these are important in
maintaining fisheries’ productivity. As such, the DA is implementing
programs designed to rehabilitate denuded mangroves. It is also providing
livelihood projects to coastal communities to divert their destructive
mangrove practices towards other income generating activities.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT OF MALANGAS the lead implementer of the

FLUP. It has the power to steer local actions from stakeholder’s
participation. It also has the advantage to foster interagency collaboration. It
can also run environmental advocacy.
BARANGAY LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT as the basic political unit, they

are the frontline implementing agency of government policy, plans,
programs. Projects, and activities in the community. Since, they are the
nearest to mangrove resources, they can be mobilized to guard mangrove
forests and amicably settle disputes arising from different stakeholders.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND THREATS

The issue of degradation are products of internal, external, socio-cultural,
and cultural influences. Some are by- products of absent or weak
regulation, but largely are based on poverty-related pressure. There are
instance, however, that illegal occupation is a result of greediness of
individuals to have more lands controlled and utilized for their own personal
advantage.
While some issues are anthropogenic in nature, issues like Peace and Order
situation is also one of the threats in the development and uses of the FFL.
Some of the stakeholders were not able to fully utilize these FFL because of
fear. There are also cases of on-going probing od Ancestral Domains in some
parts of Malangas which if not resolved might cause chaos.
It is very important to find the balance between economic benefits of the

people and protection and proper use of our FFL which can be resolved
through strict regulation and looking for other means for livelihood that will
not endanger the environment.
Institutional Issues
A. Weak or Absent framework to regulate land uses.
B. Unclear protocol or authority of LGU to enforce regulation of the

FFL.
C. Unregulated Land Uses
D. Open Access to these Mangrove Forest
Socio Economic Issues
E. High Poverty incidence in the coastal barangays wherein residents

live and earn below poverty level;
F. Illegal Settlers and Increase in population near these mangrove

forests.
Technical Issues
G. Overall Degradation of FFL. Loss of Forest Covers
H. Continuous Fragmentation of Remaining Natural Forest.
I. Conversion of Forest to Non- forest Use.
Chapter V
FLUP Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives

development through the efforts of the LGU, National Agencies and other stakeholders.”
3. Goals and Objectives
The stated goals and objectives were mainly based on the identified problems during the
situational analysis activity.
a. Goals
The LGU’s goals in implementing the FLUP are:
 Conservation and protection of existing natural forest, improve socio-economic condition by

ensuring sustainable production of the main commodities, effective development and
management of the sub-watershed and forestlands to maintain the ecological balance and
biodiversity.
b. Objectives
The FLUP objectives within the first five years are as follows:
 To improve, conserve and protect biophysical presents.

 To encourage stakeholders to adopt the upland and lowland relationship regarding trans-
boundary among political units within sub-watershed.
 To adopt watershed and ecosystem framework using the “Ridge to Reef” concept.
 To alleviate poverty by implementing sustainable livelihood development system.
 To improve management over the identified and prioritized areas mainly in the proper
allocation of Open Access Forestlands.
 To restore life system support.
 To initiate the community from Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Mitigate Disaster
Risks (MDR).
 To be responsive from the declared global warming and reduce carbon emission.
CHAPTER VI
The recommended strategies discussed in this section are designed to ensure that the
forests, forestlands, Coastal Ecosystem, Fishery Management and Law Enforcement of
Malangas. Involve a system of appropriate, scientifically-base objectives and rules for
management.
Including River Basin and Watershed Management.
1. General Strategies
The general strategies in FLUP implementation provide directions on appropriate zoning

of the LGU’s forestlands. The proposed zones specify the allowable activities and
management standards so that forestlands are put into best uses. The general strategy also
focuses on closing open access forestlands by allocating them to responsible tenure holders to
ensure that there are accountable on-site Managers.
a. Zoning of Forestlands
The proposed zoning for the forestland of Malangas is presented in Figure 4.
As recommended by the TWG, the entire 9, 274.14 hectares of mangrove and upland
forestlands of Malangas were zoned as protection forest ,(4,190.2 hectares) and
production forest (5, 083.94 hectares). Zoning of the mangrove forests and upland
forestlands as protection forest is based on existing national policy and the ecological
function of mangroves. Current regulations ban the cutting of mangrove trees because
of their important role in protecting local communities against coastal hazard such as
tsunami and storm surge. In addition, they are important as habitats of fishes and other
marine resources upon which local communities depend for livelihood.
As protection forests, cutting of mangrove trees will be prohibited. In the same
manner, illegal fishing practices such as electro fishing and chemical poisoning will
not be allowed. Livelihood activities such as fishing, bangus and prawn fry gathering,
crab fattening, shell collection and other livelihood activities will not destroy habitats
will be permitted including scientific researches and religious ceremonies consistent
with existing cultural practices. In areas already used for fishpond purposes, fish
production will be allowed to continue provided there is no expansion of existing
fishpond areas. Fishpond operators will be required as well to plant mangrove trees
along fishpond boundaries. The LGU will pass the necessary ordinances to ensure
enforcement of these management prescriptions.
b. Allocation of Open Access Forestlands

The mangrove forestlands of Malangas consisting of about _______ hectares
distributed in the coastal barangays are still untenured. These untenured forestlands do
not have on-site managers and since DENR personnel are not physically present to
guard these areas, anybody can enter and illegally cut mangrove trees for commercial
or personal use. To provide on-site management, these areas will be allocated for co-
management between the DENR and the municipal government of Malangas. The
TWG believes that co-management agreement by and between the Local Government
Unit of Malangas with the BLGU and Department of Environment and Natural
Resources is the most appropriate instrument for the implementation of the FLUP.
This allocation instrument allows the LGU and other stakeholders to take active role
in the management of forests and forestlands. It also promotes transparency in
resource management and in the process enhanced accountability not only of public
officials but of the other stakeholders of forests and forestlands.
All areas identified as fishpond/fish farms shall be subject to ground

assessment and validation by the MENRO and FMIT (Forest Management
Implementation Team) together with the DENR to determine which areas are
abandoned, unproductive, and unutilized. The outcome of the assessment and
validation shall serve as basis to zonify areas to be included for protection and/or
production purposes so that the appropriate tenure agreement may be issued by the
concerned agency. The proposed allocation map of Malangas is shown in Annex Map
1.’
Open access Forestlands are those already develop into agriculture either
planted with Annual crops and perennial crops. These will be focus on Community-
Based Forest Management (CBFM), and entrust a sub-watershed manager for
effective Forest Management and stake holders like upland farmers could avail the
benefits of Tenurial improvement to be given by the DENR.
2. Specific Technical Strategies
The technical strategies are directed towards ensuring that effective onsite forest
management is institutionalized within the LGU consistent with the identified goals and
objectives of the FLUP. These were formulated by the TWG based on analysis of existing
situations in the municipality and the goals and objectives of the FLUP.
a. Delineation of Protection and Production Forestlands
There shall be made a forestlands safeguard both Protection and Production. In

the Protection zone, strict policy should be made and to be implemented strictly so
that the forestlands would serve in accord to the purpose, like water supply to
agriculture, infrastructure and domestic needs of the people. In the production zone
people can get freely of their forest for house/construction materials subject to
specific regulation by the MLGU/BLGU, e.g. people be allowed to cut trees, after
which they shall replace by planting new trees. The number they cut shall
commensurate on the number they have to plant.
b. Protection of Existing Natural Forests/Mangrove.
DISCUSSIONS
c. Rehabilitation and Development of Grasslands, Brush lands and cultivated

Forestlands, Development of Mangrove Plantation.
In order to attain the objectives of the FLUP, all grasslands, brush lands and
cultivated forestlands including abandoned Fishpond areas should be rehabilitated
and must be fully vegetated with forest species and handled by a proper sub
watersheds manager.
d. Conservation and Development of water Production areas and biodiversity

resources.
The FLUP implementation will give benefits to the restoration of water

production for human consumption, because it is said that Water is life, water is food
and hence it is basic need for every living person. Conservation of forest lands will
return good to environment and gives health to the people and of this respect
biodiversity’s will come and restore to their fitted habitat and could no longer harm to
agriculture growing plants because in the areas where forests are heavy, there, the
biodiversity would resides in a permanent basis.
e. NATURE-based Tourism Development

The Municipality of forests in the forestland would in effect to become a
nature-based Tourism site, it would attract people to come and recreate for health and
enjoying reason. This Natural Tourism within the forest area could provide income to
the upland farmers in selling forests seeds and seedlings as well herbal extracted out
of forest products. It could augment income of the household.
f. Recognition of IPR
Indigenous People (IP’s) and their rights are highly respected because they are
the kind of people who for a long time had at stake to the land either upland or
lowland, they are announced as pro-land cultivator, learned much on timing, season to
plant and or not to plant because of their long observation. Being the People closely to
the land, their efforts and toil must be recognized, in such a way that they would be
treated as mainstream to the community absence of any cultural differences and
discrimination on the other sense. Equal putting before the law and even ordinance of
conscience.
3. Cross cutting Strategies (IEC)
Crops cutting strategies or information, Education campaign (IEC), is a

patronage system for the Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) be known to people. Each
forest species planted on the surface will give great relevance to human life and to the
environment. Forest or tree is a thing precious to everyone because it gives life to the
living people. To explore on this peculiar message, a lot of normal techniques shall be
used in order to inculcate to the mind of everyone the paramount effect of forest in
our surface nowadays. One of which is Information, Education Campaign (IEC),
using oral, media, either printed media or cereal media (Radio broadcast, liftlets,
streamers, stickers, signboard, billboard, oral media) talking forest land use during
special occasions e.g. festivities, Araw ng Bayan, Wedding ceremony, assemblies,
Birthday celebration, Hariraya, informal conservation of friends, etc. This advocacy
will really help, forest Land Use circulate to the reach of individual concern.
CHAPTER VII

CHAPTER VIII
Implementation Schedule and Financial Plan
The schedule of key strategic activities, the estimated costs associated with these
activities and the potential sources of funds for implementing the FLUP of Malangas are
discussed in this chapter.
1. Schedule of Key Strategic FLUP Activities
Table 12 presents the schedule of activities for implementing this FLUP. The first 5
years of FLUP implementation will be very crucial as they lay the ground work for the
sustainable management of the LGU’s forests and forestlands. The most crucial activities
which will have to be implemented at least in the first 2 years will deal with organizing the
ENRMC and the barangay bantay gubat teams and capacitating them including the MENRO
staff in forest protection, conservation and management. This is very important because
these units will be responsible in mobilizing stakeholders to implement FLUP activities.
Once the management organization is in place, implementation of the technical and cross
cutting strategies will commence with ground demarcation of management zone as a priority
activity.

CHAPTER IX
Monitoring and Evaluation
Regular monitoring of the FLUP’s implementation will be undertaken by the multi-sectoral

monitoring and evaluation committee to update the ENRMC on its status and chart out realistic
responses to address identified problems and issues. The M & E committee therefore, will design a
monitoring and evaluation format to keep track of the activities in the plan.
The M & E system will be undertaken at two levels: progress/output level and the level of
impact. The first level will look at the outputs of the various activities as specified in the plan and the
corresponding inputs to produce them. These will be reported quarterly by the MENRO to the
ENRMC, using formats that will be designed later on. The M & E committee will also assess public
expenditures and relate these with the outputs produced during FLUP implementation as contained in
the work and financial plan. It will keep track of the performance of the MENRO and the delivery of
committed resources and assistance/services by members of the EMB.
The impact level monitoring will be a more extensive monitoring activity. It will be
undertaken following a design that will be prepared by the M&E committee or by an external
technical assistance team. This type of monitoring will be done on a long term basis to determine the
impacts of FLUP implementation in the following areas:
 Reduction in open access forests and forest lands
 Reduction of hotspot areas
 Reduced in migration
 Institutional capability which would include increased participation of local communities,
functional sub-watershed management councils, and increased institutional collaboration
 Forest cover
 Resource quality, such as improved water quality and quantity and
The frequency of assessment of these indicators will depend on the design to be formulated by the
M&E committee. However, the first four indicators may be assessed every year while the last two
indicators may require longer intervals of assessment (such as every 3 – 5 years) since these impact
indicators can only be observed after several years of intervention.
