containing an aggregate area of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED (125,400) HECTARES, more or less.


The area" and technical description of the SINP and its Buffer Zone shall be subject to actual ground survey.

Any valid contract, permit or license for the extraction or utilization of natural resources already existing prior to this proclamation shall, subject to national interest and to existing laws, rules and regulations, be respected. Likewise, this proclamation shall be subject to existing private rights, including those over lands already classified as Alienable and Disposable.

All existing NIPAS protected areas within the abovementioned areas previously established prior to this proclamation shall be absorbed by and become part and parcel of the SINP.

The SINP and its Buffer Zone shall be under the administrative jurisdiction of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), through the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), and shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of the NIPAS Act of 1992. All existing sustainable utilization of natural resources within SINP not contrary to law nor incompatible with the Management Plan shall be respected. However, in order to effectively manage the large area of SINP and in consideration of the powers of the local government units under Republic Act 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991), the interim Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) provided for under the NIPAS Act of 1992 shall form a sub-PAMB for each of the three provinces, which in turn shall be each Chaired by the DENR and Co-Chaired by the concerned Provincial Governor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done in the City of Manila, this 13th day of August, in the year of Our Lord, two thousand and three.
