SUMMARY
The Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) of San Lorenzo Ruiz is formulated to guide and give
directions on how the Local Government Unit (LGU) will manage and improve the Forests and
Forest Land (FFL) assets of the municipality based on the existing laws, rules and regulations of the
national government at the same time attain the set forth vision, mission, goals and objectives. At
the moment, the FFL assets of the municipality is suffering from various issues and problems
resulted to its rapid denudation such as illegal cutting, kaingin, massive conversion to agricultural
and residential purposes. In addition, Bicol Region is a typhoon prone region, therefore its
resources are also exposed to various disaster and risk due to flooding, and soil erosion during
rainy season.
The municipality has a total land area of 10,959.17 hectares of which 3,282.222 hectares is
classified as Timberland/Forestland while 7,668.333 hectares is classified as Alienable and
Disposable Land (A & D). The point of concentration of this plan is to close the open access areas in
the forest land through the facilitation of appropriate tenurial instrument and introduction of
management interventions geared toward a participatory approach decision making, planning and
program/project implementation. Per record of the DENR a total, 2,373.12 hec. Therefore, a total
open access area covered 909.102 hec.
Among the major strategies being included in the FLUP are categorized into biophysical, socio-
economic, and institutional development components. The municipality intends to solicit assistance
to all the concerns government agencies for convergence mechanism aiming to introduce and
develop different programs and projects for the improvement of FFL and to provide sustainable
livelihood activities and income to its constituents. The entry point of the municipality are the
implementation of various programs, projects and activities to include the rehabilitation and
restoration of the logged-over and denuded forest land. To divert the dependency of the community
in the forest land assets/resources that caused for its rapid depletion, various livelihood activities
and nature based eco-tourism projects shall be implemented through the help of concerned
agencies. Creation and strengthening of the institutional capability of the LGU is also identified as
1
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
one of the priority activities. The Project Management Office (PMO) and Municipal environment and
Natural Resources Office (MENRO) will be working hand in hand to implement the 5-Year Work
and Financial (WFP) and One-Year WFP stipulating different PPAs for the attainment of FLUP
objectives. Forest land areas occupied and issued with Certificate of Stewardship Contract (CSC)
shall be issued with Community Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA) wherein the
holders shall be organized and be registered to concerned agencies. The forest land area shall be
surveyed to delineate the production and protection zone. Other open access areas shall be
evaluated for the identification of the most suited interventions and appropriate tenurial
instrument shall be issued with approved comprehensive management and development plan.
Further the management of protected like the Bicol Natural Park (BNP) and Abasig-Matogdon-
Mananap Natural Biotic Area (AMMNBA) shall follow the approved Protected Area Management
Plan in accordance with the provision of the NIPAS Act and if possible, portion within the area of
jurisdiction which were already zonified shall be supported by the municipality through its
membership in Protected Area Management Board (PAMB). Whenever necessary, appropriate
project proposals for the management of the PAs shall be submitted by the municipality for
approval and funding.
Based on the prepared Work and Financial Plan covering CY 2022-2026, the budgetary
requirement for the five-year period entail a total of THREE HUNDRED TWELVE MILLION, THREE
HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND AND TWO HUNDRED PESOS (Php312,395,200.00). Portion of
this amount shall be provided by the municipality through its National Tax Allocation while other
funding requirement shall be sourced out from all the concerned member agencies of the created
Project Management Office/FLUP Steering Council such as the DENR, DA, DAR, DOT, DTI, PCA and
others.
Forest and forest land is the most important ecosystem having the numerous benefits
that can be derived therefrom. The tangible benefits such as food, medicine, water,
clothing, minerals, and others plus its intangible values have been commonly used by
the community for its subsistence. It has been noted that continuous degradation and
destruction of the forest and its resources were experienced by the local community.
This can be attributed to the lack of permanent source of income, over dependent to

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The various issues and concerns being faced by our forest resources must be addressed.
The community and other stakeholders have to jointly exert the very effort to resolve
the problems in the upland and lowland areas. The participatory approach in planning
and program implementation played important roles to properly allocate and manage
the FFL with emphasis on the responsibility of the states through its various
government agencies.
The people have to start working solidly to stop the continuous destruction and loss of
our forest and forest land resources before its too late. Various experiences have
already marked in the history of disastrous weather events caused by the uncontrolled
use and destruction of the forest and its resources.
San Lorenzo Ruiz, Camarines Norte is one of the twelve (12) municipalities of
Camarines Norte having noted with various potentials in eco-based tourism, source of
potable water sources, potential site for hydro-electric power plant, source of major and
minor forest products, covered the portion of Bicol Natural Park (BNP) and Abasig-
Matogdon-Mananap Natural Biotic Area (AMMNBA), the legislated protected areas
under National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) wherein biodiversity
conservation activities are being centralized. These numerous benefits and potentials of
the municipality are needed to be managed and developed considering despite of these
various opportunities, there were also noted threats. The LGU must identify the
currents issues and concerns and status of its FFL focusing on priority actions for
protection, conservation and development.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) is a document developed through iterative, transparent,
accountable and participatory process to ensure sustainable management of forests and
forestlands providing environmental, social, and economic benefits to society. This is a
consolidation of different management strategies formulated through various
situational and current status analysis of the forest and forest land assets of San
Lorenzo Ruiz, Camarines Norte. The created FLUP team collected data and information
so as to analyze the threats, opportunities, trends and changes of the FFL assets. Such
information and data were being used as basis in projecting the intensity of
interventions to be introduced and implemented by the LGU in partnership with
different government agencies, private sectors and other funding agencies.
Among the relevant activities conducted were community profiling through sub-
watershed mapping, socio-economic and cultural data collection, collecting and
preparation of relevant thematic maps, validation and identification of on-site and off-
site stakeholders, field validation, reconnaissance surveys and community mapping
activities. This baseline information is very important in the conceptualization of
strategies and identification of priority programs/projects/activities for the FLUP.
FLUP guide the LGU and its stakeholders in managing the FFL in the concept of
sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, vulnerability
assessment/climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and management and
rehabilitation of degraded forest land. Using the ridge to reef approach, FLUP is a tool
for establishing accountabilities and promotion of responsible forest resources
management by ensuring the balance between forest protection and biodiversity
conservation.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
As the prepared plan has completed, it is required that this will be presented in the local
municipal legislative body for legitimization and adoption. It shall consist of the
municipal’s formulated vision, mission and goals having a short term and medium term
plans to be implemented by the LGU in coordination with the on-site and off-site
stakeholders.
In complementing with the other plans within the provincial and regional development
plan, the formulated vision, mission goals and objectives, program/project and activities
must address the socio economic, cultural, and environmental issues of the community
geared towards the strong partnership and resources sharing through facilitation of co-
management, recognition of property rights, investments promotion, periodic
monitoring and assessment for the efficient and effective management of forest
resources.
Comprehensive land use plan and forest land use plans are very important tools to
provide a holistic approach wherein the different government agencies can participate
integrated approach to attain the optimum and balanced use of the resources to support
the local, regional and national growth and development.
The Forest Land Use Plan covers the entire forestlands of San Lorenzo Ruiz, Camarines Norte. In
totality, San Lorenzo Ruiz has a total land area of 10,959.17 hectares of which 3,282.222
hectares is classified as Timberland while 7,668.333 hectares is classified as Alienable and
Disposable Land (A & D).
The municipality is contesting some portion from its adjacent municipalities to include
10,604.62 hectares in the municipality of Basud, Camarines Norte, 186.69 hectares in Barangay
Matacong also portion of Basud, and 148.65 hectares portion of Barangay San Vicente, Lupi,

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Camarines Sur. These were not included in the allocation and identification of the workable
sub-watersheds of the municipality; however, the municipality will be raising the issue in the
proper forum with the evidences at hand to prove their claims. There are also some noted
boundary conflicts between barangays in the municipality such as Barangay Mampurog versus
Barangay Poblacion covering 30.96 hectares which shall be settled at the level of the LGU San
Lorenzo Ruiz (Figure____: Issue/Conflict Map of the Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz.
Although the FLUP uses the watershed as the planning unit, it gives importance to
boundaries of Barangays, existing allocation, and proclamations which are treated as
management unit in the context of the DENR and the LGU priority interventions. The key
rationale is that, FLUP is primarily formulated to “close open access forestlands” by allocating
them to groups who will be accountable and responsible for effective management of
forestlands and its resources for the interest of the general welfare.
Watershed as FLUP working unit emphasizes planning in the context of watershed for a number
of reasons: first, watershed is characteristically ecosystems where biophysical interrelations
are observable and bounded by an easily recognizable and distinct ridgeline; second,
ecosystem services can be clearly defined within watersheds and sub-watersheds; third, in
practical sense, watershed have natural boundaries that do not require artificial markers to
distinguish from other planning units; fourth, accounting for impacts of activities is readily
distinguished and attributed in the context of watershed.
Barangay as management unit in some cases coincide with watershed boundaries base on map
Analysis. The intent of FLUP in the context of municipality is to take advantage of on-site
familiarity by barangay local government unit in effective management of forestlands.
The implementation of FLUP will be a shared responsibility of the LGU, the DENR in
coordination with other concerned government agencies. Part of the financing will come from
the National Tax Allocation of the LGU and external sources. DENR will assist the LGU in seeking
external assistance from donor organizations, partnership with private business, NGOs and
academic institution; and seek external assistance from local and international organizations
with interest in management of forestlands of the municipality.

The plans has a duration of five (5) years and will require mid-term and annual revision
during the period. Before the 5-year period ends, a five-year implementation will be undertaken
with the end in view of renewing the plan for another five years. It is expected that the
institutional mechanism, policies and agreements will be put in place during the first year. The
7
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
full implementation of core activities shall commence on the last quarter of the first year. The
LGU and the DENR shall form an assessment team to regularly monitor progress of the FLUP.
At the moment, for failure of the LGU to facilitate the adoption and implementation of FLUP as
planned, the DENR deemed it necessary to extent its assistance for the full adoption of the plan
at the same time execute the priority programs/projects/activities in the formulated plan, thus
this output. Necessary updating of the plan was conducted including the inclusion of current
baseline data to fit with the priority interventions needed by the LGU of the municipality of San
Lorenzo Ruiz. As agreed, upon, the plan will be updated to cover a five-year period from CY
2022-2026.
Forest Land Use Plan is primarily allocation of forestlands that will become the framework
for forest land use zoning. Through FLUP, the LGU will assists the DENR the closure of open
access forestlands comprising of more than 3,282.222 hectares. The appropriate and proper
allocation of the Municipalities Forest land areas is viewed as the first step leading towards
minimizing the recurrent problems brought by the open access situation. Additionally, the
allocation will also provide the LGU leverage for the protection and management of the forest
and forestlands, and to recognize local community’s participations through the recognition of
individual property rights. With the allocation in pace, the issue of accountability and tenure
problems will be settled.
The FLUP shall form part of the CLUP, the latter is the plan for the long-term management of
the local territory as per the DILG Circular of 2008 (Department of Interior and Local
Government). It is the framework of the territory’s physical development; it identifies areas
where development can and cannot be located and directs publics and private investments
accordingly.
The FLUP can be the framework for the preparation of the Comprehensive Development
Plan when it pertains to forestlands. The latter action plan utilized by every local administration
to develop implements priority sectoral and cross-sectoral programs and projects.
8
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The strategies defined in the FLUP will be adopted in part by the Executive and Legislative
Agendas (ELA). The latter is a plan document, covering a 3-year period corresponding to the
term of local elective officials that is mutually developed and agreed upon by both the executive
and legislative departments of an LGU.
Thus, FLUP is not meant to duplicate pre-existing plans of the LGU. The FLUP once
legitimized by the Sangguniang Bayan remains in effect even after the incumbent officials have
been replaced. Likewise, once in place, the FLUP can no longer be claimed by, nor attributed to a
particular administration. It also becomes the framework plan for any forest development
activities within the municipal territory.
Formulating this FLUP required collecting, gathering of generating data needed for various
types of analysis for prescribing and assigning of rights. Data consist of maps, socio-economic,
demographic information, historical data on logging, and other secondary information of San
Lorenzo Ruiz forestlands. Maps were obtained from different sources. Table list the information
were obtained from the community consultations and LGU documents such as the physical and
socio-economic profile and the CLUP. Other secondary data were obtained from electronic
sources and websites of various organizations. Projection on populations was obtained from
the Household profiling of Local Government Unit of San Lorenzo Ruiz in 2019 in as much as
the Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) data was generated way back 2015.
The preparation of the Forest Land Use Plan was initiated in 2013, but the definite steps of
preparation had just started. A consultant was tasked to prepare FLUP proposal formulation.
This was followed by series of meetings with the LGU, in order to define how it can proceed,
taking into account before finally pursuing to prepare memorandum of agreement between the
LGU and DENR. The draft MOA was evaluated by the parties concerned for final review and
Approval.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
An orientation and workshop on FLUP formulation was conducted in November 2014. It was
facilitated by the Technical Working Group (TWG) and participated concerned officials from
LGU of San Lorenzo Ruiz. The three-day workshop covered FLUP principles and processes, key
concepts, Legal Basis in Land Use Allocation, Data requirements in FLUP, Tools for Data
gathering, Community Mapping, Tenure holder assessment, and Gender development concerns.
The output was the simulation of Tenure assessment, Stakeholders Analysis Outputs, the
organizational set -up of the TWG, as well as action plans before the field data collection and
community consultation.
After the review and finalization, the MOA was signed and immediately the Technical
Assistance Team conducted action planning with the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the
completion of the FLUP.
The governance oriented FLUP process as shown in figure ____ demonstrate that forest land use
planning in anchored on multi-sectoral analysis of community situation to generate consensus
on FFL allocation. The analysis is not only based on technical data and maps but also on socio-
economic, cultural and institutional information.

joint LGU-DENR partnership and community-based participation in forest management.
Data collection is a combination of secondary and primary data. Primary data collection can
be undertaken through focus group discussions, key informant interview. Secondary data
usually come from government agencies.
Frequency will depend on the timeliness of decision making. The PMO shall ensure that
data collection frequency is cost effective and just in time for the decision making by the
FLUP Steering Committee.
Specific unit of the PMO or the committees of the FLUP Steering Committee may be
assigned to collect data.
Data Analysis
The PMO shall conduct the analysis of disaggregated data, compare with other indicators or
aggregated indicators and compare past and present performance.

This phase of FLUP formulation consist of four key activities: a) secondary data
gathering, b) formal and informal interviews and meeting of the key officials, c)
community consultations, d) assessment of existing tenure allocations within forestland
of the municipalities. Reliable data and maps are important in forest land use planning
as basis for sound and informed decision making. Using community profiling methods,
thematic mapping and community mapping, the multisectoral municipal TWG collects
data and maps and maps relating to the status of the FFL assets and their uses, the users
of FFL or the stakeholders, institutional arrangements in managing FFL assets,
identified threats to resource assets, and opportunities for their development. These
information are important to establish the current condition of FFL assets and the
trends in its uses as influenced by activities of the different stakeholders and the way it
is managed by resource institutions. From these, problems, threats and opportunities
could be identified which form the basis in developing strategies for effective FFL
management. It should be emphasized that participation of key forest stakeholders in
necessary in data collection, mapping and in validating related data as it is relevant in
transparent decision making.

claims and uses among stakeholders. It identifies the extent of open access forest lands,
improperly managed allocated areas and institutional gaps in the management of FFL.
Watersheds are used as the units of analysis to demonstrate the relationships of FFL
with respect to the other ecosystem following the ridge to reef framework. Results of
the analysis are used during the planning phase where stakeholders generate consensus
on zones, allocations, watershed prioritization and other technical, organizational and
financial stages.
A significant part of this exercise was to identify and agree on quantitative and
qualitative criteria for allocating and prioritizing sub-watersheds.
The TWG focused on reviewing the forestland allocation and defining strategies and
management prescriptions that will serve as guides for allocated forestland.
Key finding in the situational analysis are discussed by the TWG highlighting on illegal
cutting, forestland conversion, boundary and resource use conflicts and trends in losses
of forest cover, among the other issues. Strategies are then developed which include
zoning the FFL to identify production and protection zones, allocation of the open
access areas and sub-watershed prioritization. The TWG initially agrees on a set of
criteria for zoning and allocating FFL and in prioritizing sub-watersheds. Based on these
agreed sets of criteria, preliminary zoning and allocation plan, prioritization of sub-
watershed are developed.
3.6 Review and Formulation of the Vision, Goals, Objectives and Strategies
14
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
San Lorenzo Ruiz’ FFL. The TWG formulates the LGU’s vision, mission, goals and
objectives for the municipality. Zoning the FFL as to production and protection, this
activity includes review and revision of the management strategies per objectives of the
FLUP such as; Biophysical, Socio- Economic and Institutional.
Results of the previous steps of the FLUP process are consolidated by organizing the
writeshop with the suggested outline. The technical writers organized the presentation
of the output and discussed within the group of the series of discussion to be presented
in the plan. Upon agreement and validation of the different topics and subtopics based
on the given outline for the plan, the TWG started to organize the discussion, integrating
the collected data, suggestions, comment and recommendations. The consolidated draft
FLUP was then presented to different stakeholders to validate and generate consensus
on the visions, FFL allocation, prioritization of sub-watersheds and other
recommendations. The draft FLUP also include the work and financial plan covering 1-
year and 5-year implementation.
Upon completion and consolidation of comments in the level of the planning team or the
TWG, the drafted FLUP were presented to different on-site and off-site stakeholders for
validation and consultation. In this phase, sectoral comments and suggestion were
noted/evaluated and incorporated in the plan for final drafting.
3.9 Legitimization
This activity includes to review all chapters primarily to check its completeness and
refined the contents; then presentation of the draft to Municipal Development Council
that includes barangay captains. The council endorsed the document for presentation to
the Sangguniang Bayan after its finalization and consideration of the comments and
suggestions. The SB will be the one who will legitimize the plan to become a part of the
15
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
municipal investment plan. Hand in hand, the draft plan shall also endorse to the
Regional Executive Director. The SB then authorized the municipal mayor to sign the
joint FLUP implementation memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the DENR.
Upon the approval of the plan, both the LGU and DENR will proceed with the
implementation. Among the activities that may require immediate attention are
facilitating co-management of selected watersheds, issuance of tenure instrument,
resource management planning, recognition of individual property rights,
investment promotion, formation and training of the multi-sectoral forest
protection committee and regular monitoring of tenure holders.

Geology. Geology is the physical structure and substance, processes and the
physical history that can be observed in land. This includes the chemical and
biological changes that the physical characteristics of land within the
municipality has undergone and is continuously undertaking. Understanding
geology is necessary as this provides everyone a better understanding of
constraints and potentials of the spatial structure of the LGU.
Land Resources
With reference to the land classification of San Lorenzo Ruiz, around 9,816 has are
classified as alienable and disposable while the remaining 10,184 are classified as forest lands.
21
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Though both have been considered as lands of public domain, A & D lands have been the subject of
present system of classification and declared as not needed for forest purposes. Forestlands, on the
other land, are those, which have been identified for use as permanent forest or forest reserves and
reforestation. As per the Assessor’s office, there are 7,968.6436 hectares classified as agricultural or
alienable and disposable area; while 40.1631 hectares are used for residential purposes. The
remaining areas are unclassified public forestland, Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) sites
and watershed areas. As of the writing of this CLUP, exact data or records of titled and untitled
properties or lands in the municipality are to be completed.

AVERAGE
Wind is measured in terms of velocity and its speed is usually expressed in meters per
second (mps) and/or kilometer per hour (kph). The prevailing wind direction at most
station conform with the highest wind speed observed in the province is 11.7 which
occurs in the month of December and the lowest recorded is 3.9 which occurs in the
month of April, May, June, August and September.
Temperature
San Lorenzo Ruiz has a relatively cold than the average temperature recorded in the
Province of Camarines Norte due to its elevation. Since, the province has an average of
26.9 O C recorded in 1993. The hottest month is June and the coldest is February (Table
14).
Humidity
31
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The average annual relative humidity for the province is 83%. For 1993, almost all
monthly values of relative humidity is greater than 80% except for November and
December which posted more than 90%.
Weather Disturbances
All regions over the country are exposed to typhoons, since the divisions are mainly
longitudinal in character and the frequency is latitudinal type.
Of the weather disturbance, tropical cyclones are the most destructive because aside from
heavy rains, which they release, they are accompanied by strong winds.
From 1985 to 1993 a number of tropical disturbances hit the province but the worst was
in 1993 where “Typhoon Monang” brought a great number of losses with a frequency of
173 kilometer per hour (kph), 51 pints higher from tropical storm “Saling” in 1989 with a
frequency of only about 122 kph (Table 16).

Based on the 2019 Household Profiling of the Local Government Unit of San Lorenzo
Ruiz, the population of the municipality in the 12 barangays is 15, 193 or 2.45 % of
the total population of the Province of Camarines Norte. A total of 3,964 or 24.51%
live in the one urban barangay of Matacong while the remaining 74.59% or 10,338
live in the 11 rural barangays. Barangay Matacong has the highest population of
3,964 while Barangay Langga has the lowest population of 342.
In preparing a Forest Land Use Plan, demographic changes through time must also be considered.
The increase of population has a strong effect in the environmental aspects of the Locality. The
historical growth of population in San Lorenzo Ruiz is shown in 2028

the poorest in the province, it is very much dependent on the national government or its
existence and operation. Records from the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF)
have shown that San Lorenzo Ruiz received the lowest IRA from the national government
compared with other municipalities of Camarines Norte in 2008.

The municipality has two (2) types of commercial establishments namely Retail Trade and
Services with total of 126 establishments and 31,976 sq.m. total commercial areas. This is
about 4.00% of the total built-up area of the municipality.
Agriculture
In terms of land use, San Lorenzo remains primarily an agricultural municipality. Of the
municipality’s total land area of 273. 65 sq.km,5,045hectares (54%) are allocated to
agriculture.
Agriculture is the major economic activity in San Lorenzo Ruiz. The total existing
agricultural land is composed of 5,045 hectares. Major crops include pineapple, coconut,
rice, and vegetables such as ampalaya, eggplant, tomato, okra and pole sitao. Among the
major crops, coconut dominates the agricultural croplands, occupying about 4,499 hectares.

and economic gain. Fishing activities can be found in the entire municipality where tilapia
fish are being produced. Total area devoted to fishing activity is about 12.414 hectares
Industry
Industry has not made significant contribution to the economic development of the
Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz. It would appear therefore that the municipality remained
primarily dependent on Agriculture as its main economic source.
Tourism
There are various potential and developing tourism sites in the municipality both man-
made and natural which are now rising as tourism destinations for all kinds of eco-tourism
activities in the Province of Camarines Norte. These tourism sites have many activities
which can be offered to visitors depending on the choice of the tourists. These may include
activities like trekking, mountain climbing, bird watching, camping and all kinds of nature
adventure.
The Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz notwithstanding its rural-setting as a Small Town
boasts of existing tourism-related recreational areas; As of Year 2001, there are existing
tourist spots or attractions within the municipality particularly Resorts at 1) Barangays
Mampurog, Matacong, Dagotdotan along Mampurog River where facilities consist of shed

Footbridge at Barangay Laniton; Hanging Bridge at Barangay Mampurog; Panodan Bridge at
Barangay Maisog and the Mampurog-Langga Bridge connecting barangay Langga and
Mampurog.
Land Transport
Current transportation facility within the municipality is limited to a Public Utility Jeepney
Terminal situated at the Urban Barangay of Matacong as of Year 2012. It can accommodate
only limited number of vehicles and is usable but needs improvement of facilities including
parking facilities. There is also a terminal facility for buses, tricycles and multicabs which is
only occupying a space along the streets of Matacong, Mampurog and Daculangbolo.
Communication
Landline telephone service, internet service and Broadcast media are available within the
municipality. Cell site facilities were also available within the locality thus makes a strong
signal of cellular phones.

municipality consist of electric posts, streetlights and a metering station effectively serving
only 6 barangays particularly Daculangbolo, Dagotdotan, Mampurog, Matacong, San Isidro
and Manlimonsito.
Land Use
Based on the existing land use, almost all of the 12 barangays engage agricultural farming,
except barangay east and west Poblacion. The proposed plan identified areas that are
suitable for agricultural practices. This includes the prime agricultural lands and those that
are presently planted with tree crops. These areas which are suitable for agricultural
practices have been classified based on the Land Capability and Soil Suitability Analysis. The
map for land use is shown in Figure 4.
Education
Current level of school facilities for year 2013 within the Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz
indicates that: 1) different elementary schools are situated at Barangays Daculangbolo,
Dagotdotan, Laniton, Maisog, Mampurog, Manlimonsito, Matacong, Salvacion, San Antonio,
San Isidro and San Ramon and 2) secondary schools are available at Barangays Mampurog
and San Isidro namely the San Lorenzo Ruiz National High School and its extension high
school named Alcantara High School respectively. These elementary and secondary schools
are all public in nature and in fair condition. There is no tertiary school within the
municipality at present which can be attributed to its proximity to the Capital town of Daet
and the dominant rural-setting.
Health

San Lorenzo has a total of 12 barangays of varying sizes. In terms of population, Langga is
the smallest with 290 inhabitants as of 2015 while Matacong is the largest with 3725. In
terms of land area, Dagotdotan is the smallest with 2.73 sq. km while San Antonio is the
biggest with 54.64 sq. km. Daculangbolo is also the most dense at 474 persons per sq. km
while San Antonio and Salvacion are the least dense at only 9 persons per sq. km.
Organizational Structure
51
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Local government of San Lorenzo Ruiz has 205 employees, broken into 11 elective (5.37%),
32 permanent (15%) and 162 job orders (79.02). This translates to roughly one employee
per 69 population.
Anecdotal accounts also suggest that springs are still a good source of water even on
dry months. The study also suggest that shallow ground water can be designated as
a reserve in times of need but water quality is an issue it is to be used as sourced of
potable water.
Flooding is also a problem especially in low lying barangays and those that are
located near rivers and streams. The coast of the municipality also shows signs of
changes and is prone to tsunami and storm surges hence, occupation of beach and
construction of structure there need to be minimized.
The effect of climate change was investigated by looking at indicators that may show
changes in the local climate of the municipality. Historical analysis of temperature
data reveals that temperature date reveals that temperatures have been increasing
with the hot season getting warmer since 1980s. More specifically, it is the
minimum temperature at night that is getting warmer more than the maximum
temperature at daytime. Analysis also shows that the number of days with heavy
rainfall maybe increasing. The number of typhoons that affect the area is shown to
be generally increasing as well.
A regional Climate model was used to show possible future climate scenarios on the
study area. Temperature is expected to increase further by as much as 2.5⁰C on the
average: summer months are specially going to be hotter. Rainfall, on the other
hand, is projected to decrease by about 20 percent in 2050 during the month of
January to May.
52
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
This will also cut the risk and expenses of evacuation every time a typhoon arrives.
Rainfall
The highest annual rainfall observed within the Bicol River Basin (BRB) is in San Lorenzo Ruiz,
Camarines Norte with a mean annual rainfall of 6,610 mm for the period 2000‐2012.

Agriculture
Agriculture is the primary source of income for the significant portion of San Lorenzo Ruiz.
Agricultural productivity is seen to be adversely impacted through disruption in crop productivity,
emergence of new pests and diseases among crops as well as resistance of crops to traditionally
effective agricultural inputs.
It has been observed that per one (1) degree Celsius increase in temperature there has been a
reduction of 5% in crop production. This is further worsened by the lack of irrigation systems and
the reduced capacity of watersheds to provide the necessary water supply to crop lands as well as
the non-tolerance of crops to prolonged dry spells and droughts.
Similarly, the annual rainfall brought about by the wet-season also adversely impacts productivity
in some areas as some crops cannot sustain life when submerged in water for prolonged periods.
Likewise crop production done in slopes have been prone to erosion and landslide due to
saturation of the soil. It has been observed in recent years that the volume of rainfall or
precipitation has relatively been larger and spread in a much shorter time span, causing flooding in
low lying agricultural areas.
As response to this however, the rate in which farmers have adapted climate change resilient crops
and practices have remained slow in recent years, thereby affecting agricultural productivity.
Primary attention should be given to addressing food security and ensuring the adoption of
agricultural practices that promote resiliency.
Forest
The forest ecosystem of San Lorenzo Ruiz is generally comprised of Mt. Labo. This however has
been generally weakened due to various external disturbances such as invasive species, pest
outbreaks, illegal logging, and storms.

OBS – Observed
Natural Hazards in the Municipality
Flood
There is no recorded occurrence of flooding in San Lorenzo Ruiz, even with heavy rains.
However, based on the Project Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH), there exists
threats of flooding in Barangays Dagotgotan, Daculangbolo and Mampurog, with Daculangbolo
projected to have the most severe incidence given its elevation in comparison with the upland
barangays. The projected flood is closely related to the river basin stretching from Mt. Labo. And
draining towards Daet and other tributaries.
Landslide
A landslide refers to several forms of mass wasting that includes a wide range of ground
movements, such as rockfalls, deep-seated slope failures, mudflows, and debris flows. These can
occur in a variety of environments, characterized by either steep or gentle slope gradients, from
mountain ranges to coastal cliffs or even underwater. Gravity is the primary driving force for
landslides to occur but other factors affecting slope stability that produce specific conditions that
make a slope prone to failure. In most cases, landslides are triggered by a specific event such as
heavy rainfall or an earthquake. It should be noted that soil type and forest cover is also a factor
that would determine whether a specific area would be prone to landslides
With 45.07% (9,014 has) of the 20,000 has land area of the municipality having a slope
category of steep hills and mountains to very steep hills and mountains, the local government of
San Lorenzo Ruiz is susceptible to landslides. This is observed mostly in the landslide hazards maps
which reflect the landslide potential of the upland barangays with jurisdiction over portions of
Mr.Labo. These being the upland portions of Maisog, Matacong and San Isidro, especially those with
rolling to rugged terrain. It is these mountainous areas which have high susceptibility to both rain
and earthquake-induced landslides as the rocks are fractured and moderately weathered while
thick soil development has also been observed.
With regards earthquake induced landslides, the Project NOAH hazard maps have also
identified Barangays Maisog, Matacong and San Isidro as having unstable slopes that would be
susceptible to landslides once ground shaking would occur. Most of the barangays were not
considered as being under threat of earthquake induced landslides.
It should be noted that the municipality has an estimated land area of 6,201.1371 has which
are not susceptible to erosion conditions, while the remaining portions are highly susceptible to
erosion.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Ground Shaking
Ground shaking is the shaking of the earth's surface, due to the sudden release of energy
from the earth's lithosphere or tectonic plates such as the rupture of geologic faults, volcanic
activity, and landslides.
With the country being located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the threats of groundshaking remain
significant. PHIVOLCS historical data shows San Lorenzo Ruiz as free from being the epicenter of
any earthquakes. The nearest recorded as reflected in Project NOAH was in Basud.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which a saturated mass of land loses a large percentage of
its resistance and flows in a liquefied manner. This is in response to an applied stress such as
shaking during an earthquake, sudden changes in stress conditions, and reduced bearing capacity.
This condition is mostly observed in areas where the soil is sandy, low density and saturated. Hence
the importance of maintaining the integrity of watersheds to further support the soil structure and
ensure its strength especially during heavy sustained and heavy volume rainfall.
As per the PHIVOLCS Liquefaction Hazard Map for the province of Camarines Norte, the
municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz is not susceptible to any form of liquefaction.
Volcanic Activity and Eruptions
Volcanic activity and eruptions often occur with related geologic and hydrologic hazards
including the release of gases, non-explosive lava emissions to extremely violent explosive bursts.
Large volcanic eruptions can greatly endanger the populations living within a large diameter from
the source of the eruption. Similarly, volcanic eruptions have a lasting effect as they affect global
climate. The PHIVOLCS classifies volcanoes according to their last recorded activity. Active
volcanoes are those which were recorded to have erupted within the last 600 years,
The province of Camarines Norte continuous to face threats of volcanic activities, albeit
from active volcanoes from neighboring provinces, namely Mt.Isarog and Mt.Iriga from Camarines
Sur, Mt.Mayon from Albay, and Mt.Bulusan from Sorsogon. Nearest to the municipality however, is
Mt Labo, which is the northernmost component of a volcanic chain that dots the Bicol Region in the
Philippines, it is a potentially active plio-pleistocene stratovolcano composed of dacitic and
andesitic domes, lava flows and a prominent central cone. The latest eruption from Mt.Labo was
recorded about 27,000 years ago, and no eruption has been observed since.

For the
Flood Hazard map in Map _____ , areas with high susceptibility to flooding are mostly
evident along rivers and waterways. In the eastern upland portion of the municipality are areas
with steep slopes which are moderately to very highly susceptible to rain-induced landslide
hazards, as illustrated in Map __.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
In terms of flood susceptibility, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) geohazard assessment
reports that all barangays are susceptible to varying degrees of flooding. These barangays were
presented with a Geohazard Threat Advisory informing their susceptibility to flooding and the
corresponding recommendations particular to the barangay (MGB-RV). Based on the MGB rating,
flood level parameters are as follows:
a. Low – 0 - 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters
b. Moderate – 0.51 – 1 meter depth of flood waters
c. High - >1 meter depth of floodwaters
With regards to landslide susceptibility, the barangays assessed include areas that are
located on and/or near slopes and riverbanks and have the potential for landslide occurrence. The
rating of each barangay presented herein particularly refers to the barangay proper since majority
of the population is located there. It should be noted, however, that the rating does not necessarily
reflect those of the sitios. These barangays were presented with a Landslide Threat Advisory
informing their susceptibility to landslides and the corresponding recommendations particular to
the barangay. Based on MGB rating, landslide level parameters are as follows:
A. High –
• Presence of active and/ or recent landslides • Presence of numerous and large tension cracks
along slope adjacent to the community and that would directly affect the community • Areas with
drainages that are prone to landslides damming • Steep/Unstable slopes consisting of loose
materials
B. Moderate –
• Areas with indicative and/or old landslides • Presence of small tension cracks along slope and
are located away from the community • Moderate slopes
C. Low –
• Low to gently sloping • No presence of tension cracks
As per the Fault Finder of the PHIVOLCS, the Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz is not transected
by any fault line, the nearest of which is located to the South East, in Libmanan, Camarines Sur.
Ground shaking is the main cause of casualties and damages to structures when earthquakes
occur. It is the effect of ground motion and movement of the earth's surface by seismic activities.
This hazard may also trigger other hazards such as liquefaction and earthquake-induced landslides.
The strength of an earthquake is usually measured in terms of magnitude or intensity. Magnitude
refers to the total energy released at the earthquake's point of origin based on information derived
from a seismograph, while intensity is the perceived strength of an earthquake based on relative
effects to people and structures on the earth's surface. The intensity scale consists of a series of
certain key responses such as people awakening, movement of furniture, and finally, destruction.
69
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Ground rupture refers to the deformation on the ground that marks the intersection of the
fault with the earth's surface. Effects include fissuring or displacement of the ground due to
movement of the fault.
The effect of an eruption of a volcano causes primary and secondary hazards such as lahar
flows, debris-flows, lava flows, pyroclastic surges, tephra fall and ballistic projectiles.

Exposure Scores
Exposure refers to people, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones
that are thereby subject to potential losses. Exposure database of different systems of interests such
as population, urban use, natural resource production areas, critical facilities, and lifeline utilities
were formulated and validated through a Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment Workshop and
consultations with local stakeholders. Exposure scores were based on the percentage of parameters
or benchmarks presented in Table 1.28 below.
Table 4.2 Exposure Score Parameters

Lifeline Affected 0.01 - above
Utilities Roads 30% 30.01 - 50% 50.01 - 70% 70%
In the absence of household spatial data, the built-up residential areas identified through a
land use mapping workshop was used to estimate the households/housing density per barangay.
Based on the parameters presented, barangays with affected population reaching more than 20% of
its total indicates a very high exposure score, while barangays with less than 5% affected
population indicates low exposure scores.
In the case of critical facilities, scores were based on whether a facility is potentially
exposed or not. Similarly, for lifeline utilities, although affected area percentage may serve as a
parameter for exposure, important factors such as mobility and circulation should also be
considered, as in the case of unpassable roads during landslides which may limit passage from one
point to another.
For natural resource-based production areas and urban areas, exposure scores were based
on percentage of area affected by hazards; wherein areas/uses with more than 40% are affected
indicating a very high exposure score, while those with less than 10% reflects a low exposure score.

The scoring parameters for sensitivity indicators varies from less than 5% of barangay
population for low sensitivity score to more than 20% of barangay population for very high
sensitivity scores. It must be pointed out that sensitivity scores for all barangays have the same
scores given that the data availability were at municipal level only. A better assessment can be
further conducted by improving collection of demographic data at the barangay level, and include
other indicators such as percentage of persons with disabilities, percentage below the poverty/food
threshold, unemployment, etc.
Critical Facilities Sensitivity Indicators
UNISDR defines critical facilities or critical infrastructure as the physical structures,
facilities, networks and other assets which provide services that are essential to the social and
economic functioning of a community or society. The following sensitivity indicators for critical
facilities were identified: existing condition; proportion of the structure in dilapidated/condemned
condition; year of construction; and if the structure employs hazard-resistant design.

While indicators such as condition of the facility can be physically observed, the presence of
a public buildings database is recommended particularly containing year of construction and or
instances of renovation. Additionally, resilient building design standards need to be classified to
make stakeholders aware of such innovations and if these are applied to the critical facilities in the
area.
Natural Resource-based Production Areas
Sensitivity indicators for natural resource-based production areas or agricultural croplands
and forest production areas are the following: Areas without irrigation facilities or water-
impounding (for agricultural and croplands); and percentage of owners/areas not employing
sustainable production techniques. A more comprehensive assessment may be undertaken using
barangay-level data.

Risk Assessment
Following HLURB guidelines, the risk scores for the different systems of interests were
computed wherein risk is the combination of the probability (represented as the likelihood of
occurrence) of an event and its potential negative consequences (severity of consequence) for a
given area and reference period. The likelihood of occurrence of hazards is the estimated period of
time (expressed in years), or when a hazard event is likely to repeat itself. The table below shows
the likelihood of occurrence for the hazards. Severity of Consequence is the function of exposure
and vulnerability and measures the potential direct and indirect damages/impacts and the
interplay of exposure and the vulnerability relative to the expected intensity of the hazard (HLURB,
CCC, UNDP and DFAT-AusAid, 2015).
Table 4.8 Likelihood of Occurrence Score Matrix
Source: Reference Manual on Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change
Adaptation in the Comprehensive Land Use Plans Report, NEDA-HLURB- UNDP, 2012
Results of Risk Assessment are summarized in the ensuing tables. It should be noted that
these areas were identified through mapping activities and could be further improved by data
gathering through actual survey, use of GPS devices, and other methodologies.

The logging period in the municipal forest lands started in the late 1950’s and
continues until the late 1970’s.
Interviews with local communities within the municipality revealed the logging
companies that operated in the area. After Logging patches of log over areas created
opportunities for kaingin apart from small Patches earlier opened through
traditional practices by indigenous communities.
Adding to the pressure is the population that is projected to increase to more than
50% in 2010. There were migrants from other provinces such as Albay and
Camarines Norte. Increasing population means increasing demand for areas for
cultivation. A brief review of population distribution shows that 87% of the
municipal population lives in rural area. Base on the 2007 survey, the population of
the municipality is around 17, 020 or 3, 370 total household (average family size of)
the bulk of which is in barangay.
With such growth the ratio of A & B or agricultural lands to a household is only 5,
902.1690 hectares per capital.
The Forestlands of the municipality have a vast role in sustaining agriculture and for
basic services particularly water and livelihood. The FLUP should lessen the
dependency of some residents on timber extraction and shift alternative source of
livelihood.
The identification of water production areas within forestland will provide support
to development of community water systems. Only the interior residents has no
service of water systems in the locality. The construction water system funded out
of SALINTUBIG of DILG Program in 5 South Sector Barangay has completely
increase the service of the potable water for domestic consumption.

During the TWG workshop, it was identified that the municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz has
three major subwatersheds. Subwatershed 1 (SW1) or San Lorenzo Ruiz River
Subwatershed comprising the barangays of Daculang Bolo, Dagotdotan , Mampurog,
Matacong, Poblacion, Maisog and San Isidro containing a total land area of 3,119.79
hectares. Subwatershed 2 (SW2) or Lumanti River Subwatershed includes the barangays
of Daculang Bolo, Dagotdotan, Mampurog, Matacong, Poblacion, Laniton, Langga, San
Ramon, Salvacion, Manlimonsito, and San Isidro covering a total area od 4,125.47 hectares.
Lastly Subwatershed 3 (SW3) or Too River Subwatershed covered the Barangays of
Matacong, Maisog, San Ramon, Salvacion, Manlomonsito , San Isidro and San Antonio
having a total land area of 3,347.61 hectares. Map presentation of the different
subwatershed divide is shown in Figure____. Subwatershed Map of San Lorenzo Ruiz.

FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
It was noted during the identification of issues and concerns in the land area covered by the
municipality, the TWG has raised the boundary conflicts or land claim of the San Lorenzo Ruiz over
the municipality of Basud. This has an approximate area of 10,604.62 hectares per Cadastal Map
Cad-532, Basud Cadastre. This shall be addressed separately in the proper venue. On the other
hand, there is also boundary conflict or land claim from the municipality of Lupi, Camarines Sur
having a total area of 148.65 hectares in SW3, while conflicts between barangays of Matacaong
versus Basud having an area of 186.69 hectares and Mampurog versus Poblacion with 30.96
hectares are also additional issues to be tackled in the Sangguniang Bayan for possible settlement
or for filing of appropriate case base on the evidences at hand by the municipality as shown in the
table_____ below.
Overlaying the presented maps for the FLUP, the total land area of San Lorenzo Ruiz is 10,
950.55 hectares wherein the forest land area covered 3,282.222 hectares

The on-site stakeholders were identified and analyzed based on the interest/stakes in the forest,
the issues and problems encountered by the concerned group with recommendation on the
management options to address the foreseen problems/issues. Though there are issues which are
dependent in the cultures and values on individual, the TWG deemed it necessary to identify
149

possible action to be taken to at least minimize the impact or effects of certain problems. This
analysis will greatly contribute to the identification of management strategies on how the FFL
assets be improved and became sustainable.

Some development issues are confined within the conceptual boundaries of a particular
sector. Other issues however, are common to two or more sectors and such issues can be
addressed jointly by the sectors concerned. The compound and complex development
issues of the municipality are discovered in the course of the planning process. These
special issues are the following: poverty, education, disaster risk reduction and
management, climate change adaptation, public utilities and facilities, unemployment,
154
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
agricultural support, absence or lack of needed legislations and laxity in the enforcement of
laws, lack of funds, health and medical services.
As a result of the various consultations and planning workshops conducted, the following
issues and concerns in accordance with their development sectors were identified and now
forms part of the 2022-2026 Forest Land Use Plan of San Lorenzo Ruiz:

this plan presents mitigating and preventive measures to protect the environment and
maintain its balance.
5.1. Vision

160
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Free access to forestlands, limited assets for sustainable livelihood, population pressure,
increased migration to forestland and an institution unable to fully fulfill its mandate of
resource constraints are the primary cause of forest degradation. The secondary causes are
inappropriate land uses, inadequate agriculture production, conversion of forestlands to
other uses, ineffective on-site management of tenured allocated areas, excessive logging
without accountability to restore opened areas, illegal and appropriate extraction of forest
products, and weak law enforcement. The persistence of these issues continues to threaten
the remaining forest and its sustainability thereby feeding the cycle of poverty and
environment deterioration.
The situational analysis points to institution weakened by limited financial and manpower
resources, thus limiting the performance of their mandates for forest management. Though
it has allocated forestlands to supposedly responsible tenures and allocation holders, a
large part or 35% of forestlands under the DENR management notably areas under NIPAS.
The holders of tenure or allocation are not able to consistently perform its responsibility
due largely to lack of resources and technical capability, CBFMAs, CADC and Civil
Reservation and Military of Reservation.
These weaknesses of institution and tenure holders virtually placed all forestlands in
opened-access condition. These are evidence by continued illegal logging, existing of small-
scale mining, continued and unregulated entry of migrants into forestlands and expansion
of kaingin even within NIPAS areas in San Lorenzo Ruiz especially the area in Bicol Natural
Park. Many settlers within and those adjacent to forestlands have vowed the same concern,
because the impact of forest degradation already affect their livelihood.
The challenge to the DENR and to the LGU is how to reverse the trend of forest degradation,
and how the open access condition could be remedy in terms of management is sharing of
responsibility by on-site stakeholders such as the community and the mandated agencies. In
LGU shares responsibility with the DENR in managing forestlands within its boundaries. For
161
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
areas where DENR remain the primary manager such as NIPA areas, the LGU becomes the
co- manager with the community providing on-site management. Outside of NIPAS the
primary responsibility for management of forestlands in tenured or allocated areas,
including individual property rights within a tenure or allocation.
In terms of resource generation, the LGU and DENR shall device alternative financing
mechanism such as users’ fees, payment for environmental services, and possible market-
based instruments. In undertaken these schemes, management costs will not be solely
sourced from line-item budget of the DENR, but from beneficiaries of services provided by
the forestlands of San Lorenzo Ruiz. In the interest of feasibility of zones shall be
contiguous.
Details of the above strategies are presented below; in large measure, recommendations
were drawn from community consultations and from key findings of situational analysis
conducted by the Technical Working Group. The latter takes into account recommendations
from communities, analysis of geospatial information, socio-economic profile, secondary
data, problems, issues, needs and opportunities.
Generally, the forest land of the municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz shall be zonified into
Production Forest to cover 667.6388 hectares and production forest to cover 2,190.9847
hectares (Figure_____. Production and Protection Forest Map) The remaining area within the
BNP and AMMNBA shall be handled by the Protected Area Office based on the approved
Protected Area Management Plan.
The allocation of the open access based on the proposed zoning recommended by the
TWG for the introduction of appropriate management strategies and sub-watershed
prioritization. In the prioritization of SW, the municipality gave priority to the Hydrologic
value of the FFL assets, next is the economic values, third in the bio-diversity value, fourth is
the protection of infrastructure, lives and properties and lastly the aesthetic values/for
ecotourism value.

G. Other criteria
Figure____Allocation and Un-allocated Forest Map stipulated that out of the total area of
Forest land in the municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz, 592.60 hectares covered the BNP,
1,045.13 hectares covering the AMMNBA while 132.68 hectares were issued with the
Certificate of Stewardship Contracts (CSC by the DENR-PENRO Camarines Norte. This CSC
issued will be issued with Community Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA) for
the management of the area for 25 years and renewable for another 25 years. About 1,410
hectares are therefore classified as open access areas will be subjected to appropriate co-
management agreement or other tenurial instrument between the DENR, MLGU and in
partnership with the POs/NGOs through a tripartite agreement, if applicable. The existing
Matacong Resettlement Sites shall also be recommended for issuance of CBFMA enlisting
the qualified members of registered people’s organization within the area.
A part of the specific recommendations and intervention to the allocated and unallocated
areas, the TWG defined management prescriptions that will guide allocation and property
right holders in the formulation of land use zones within their jurisdiction and for
management planning purposes. These management prescription forests are as follows:
164
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Registration of settlers and claimed or cultivated areas within forestlands and organize
registration committee in coordination with the BLGU. Eventually this accredited People’s
Organization shall become partners of the DENR and LGU in the following activities for the
proper allocation of the open access forest lands, to wit:
In the interest of providing guidance to tenure or allocation holders, the FLUP TWG
recommended delineating two major zones within the forestlands of San Lorenzo Ruiz
namely protection and productions zones.
Strict Protection Zone, as defined in DENR Adm. Order 2008-26 Section 5.23, pertains
to the management of protected areas consisting of natural areas with high biodiversity
values.
165
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Multiple Use Zone, as defined in DENR Adm. Order 2008-26 section 5.10, pertains to
the management of protected areas where settlement, traditional and/or sustainable
land use including agriculture, agroforestry, and other income generating or livelihood
activities may be allowed consist with the Management Plan.
The allowable activities and uses within Multiple Use Zone are as follows:
Production Zones
To implement the different programs and projects relative to climate change adaptation, the
municipality shall identify the acceptable and tested cross cutting activities such as
166
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
information, education campaign of mitigating the climate change impact and effects to
community. The forest rehabilitation and restoration program of the government shall be
prioritized in the municipality and formulate policy support and ordinances so as the
identified activities in the FLUP shall be religiously implemented in due time with
appropriate funding supports.
49 hectares of open access areas will be subjected to a co-management agreement between
the DENR, MLGU and in partnership with the IPs through a tripartite agreement. This is an
uncommon agreement for management of unallocated forestlands by the LGU.
The oversight for the implementation of the FLUP is a just undertaking between the DENR
and the LGU. However, the issues and problems forestlands are multifaceted involving
many stakeholders with varying interests. Thus, the FLUP-TWG recommends creating FLUP
Steering Committee chaired and co-chaired by the mayor and DENR-V Regional Director
and composed of representatives from stakeholders groups.
MENRO
167
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Strengthening capacities of MLGU, BLGU for Forest Management, MLGU and BLGU
officials will have forest protection, law enforcement and forest management training per
cluster, such trainings are needful since the officials will actual roles part in the
implementation of FLUP along with its variety of activities.
GIS training of municipal staff and partner organizations. Selected staff from the MENRO,
MPDC, Assessors, MIO, MAO and DENR will have training on GIS.
Training on Environment Law, Enforcement (ELE). The DENR shall regularly conduct
trainings on environmental law enforcement in collaboration with national government
agencies mandated to undertake such functions.
Cross Visit and Study Tours. The Steering Committee and the expanded MENRO personnel
shall be exposed successful projects in other parts of the country to stir up fresh insight and
be able to face new challenges in the implementation of the FLUP.
168
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The FLUP Steering Committee shall have two layers of committees. The Executive PUSU,
Civil Society Organization, NGOs, Academe, Private Business, DILG. The second layer will be
composed of five sub-committees whose functions shall be distinct from each other to avoid
duplication of tasks.
Upon inception the Project Management Office, the Steering Committee shall define specific
indicators that are clearly defined, with specific measure that can be collected repeatedly
with consistency of data collected. For instance, on restoration of forest cover the specific
indicators would include of bare lands defined in hectares, and the corresponding number
of hectares achieved for the particular year, adequate capacity of forest protection and law
enforcement indicators would include number of deputized barangay teams trained on
enforcement.
The FLUP Steering Committee should dedicate a budget for monitoring and evaluation that
will include both personnel and direct or operation costs.
The latest emphasis on gender and development is an opportunity to correct and error of
past inequity between men and women while making them a partner in conserving nature
and reaping the ensuing benefits.

Two global opportunities to be given by the municipality with high priorities devoted to
biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation. This turn of events has opened a
window for funding and technical support that can be tapped by the LGU;
Then, finally under linkages, the opportunity offered by increasing number of funding
institution for sustainable forest management can be tapped. This is matched at the
technical side by the increasing number of the organizations offering technical assistance
along planning and implementation of programs.
Looking back, the tragedy or calamity of extreme flooding and landslides that struck with
the onslaught of typhoons has brought in continuing support for rehabilitation and
restoration of the damaged areas.
8.1. Total Estimated Financial Requirements for Implementing the FLUP and Sources
of Funds.
Presented below are the identified programs, projects and activities (PPAs). The Matrices
show the expected results or target outputs, target implementation schedule, estimated
costs and counter -parting strategies.
The Work and Financial Plan was divided into protection and production areas. The total
requirement for the implementation of the Forest Land Use Plan for the entire stretch of five (5)
years is one hundred five million, three hundred forty-five thousand two hundred PESOS
(Php105,345,200.00), which is within the LGU’s cap for development fund.
It can be noted that there are programs, projects, and activities which require counter parting
between the LGU and NGA’s or external sources. Most of the partner NGA’s identified the plan are

At the onset, the FLUP Steering Committee must agree on monitoring and evaluation
systems for FLUP. The two components of the monitoring and evaluation system are the
progress monitoring and the performance monitoring.
Reporting to the FLUP Progress Committee shall be both written and oral in order that
specific problems.
176
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The chair of the FLUP Progress Monitoring Team should summaries each periodic
report and transmit the findings and recommendation to the LGU and the DENR or the
FLUP Steering committee prior to the regular meeting.
Reporting Frequency
The frequency of reporting should be related to the nature of the topic or issue being
reported on. The FLUP Steering Committee shall determine the reporting whether it will
be monthly, weekly or even daily.
Reporting Formats
The FLUP Steering Committee shall set periodic reviews of FLUP implementation.
Quarterly review will focus on progress of specific activities at the community,
tenure ofr allocation holder level. Semi-annual review will cover progress review of
targets identified in the annual work plan.
177
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
Committee should examine the reasons for these. Strategies and corresponding
activities and timing schedule may need to be revised If the approved program
appears to be unrealistic.
The FLUP- TWG prepared a 10-year LFUP but has defined targets for certain
period. In the next three years the LGU and DENR will focus on capacity building
, strengthening institutions, external linkages, advocacy, IEC and law
enforcement and conflicts resolution, and view of limited financial resources.
The FLUP has four major objectives namely biophysical, socio-economic, cultural and
institutional. Each of these major objectives has desired targets and outcome that will
be assessed by the FLUP Steering Committee. Such desired outcomes should lead to
attainment of the vision and mission of the DENR and LGU. The Biophysical targets are
restoration of forest cover in bare, brush land, and grassland areas, conservation of
biodiversity, sustained management of watershed for water supply, appropriate or
sustainable land use in various zones of forestlands. The socio-economic targets are
improved income of the settlers from alternative livelihood not dependent on
traditional extractive practices, provision of basic services to communities to minimize
morbidity and loss of income.
178
FOREST LAND USE PLAN 2022-2026
The created Monitoring Team shall schedule the field validation/inspection of the
accomplishment on a monthly and quarterly basis. The status of implementation of FLUP
PPAs shall pe report in prescribed matrix and presented with photo documentation and
maps.
The DENR Compliance Monitoring Team shall lead the team in the assessment of all the
tenurial instruments issued by the office. This shall be done annually to verify the
compliance in the terms and condition stipulated in the license agreement/permit.
Compliance to ECC conditions shall also be considered in the annual assessment.

about the concrete measures they are taking to conserve natural resources, protect
plants and wildlife, and contribute to the well-being of local communities.
