EXCLUDING FROM THE OPERATION OF PROCLAMATION NO. 208 DATED OCTOBER 5, 1937, A PARCEL OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN SITUATED IN THE BARRIOS OF TAPOL, CAMP VI, CAMP VII, MANDUANG AND KUANOS, MUNICIPALITIES OF TALISAY AND MINGLANILLA, PROVINCE OF CEBU, ISLAND OF CEBU, AND DECLARING THE SAME OPEN FOR DISPOSITION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE MINING ACT



WHEREAS, Juan B. Echavez has requested for the exclusion of a certain area under Survey Bsm-69 of the Bureau of Mines containing 396 hectares from the Talisay-Minglanilla Forest Reserve established under Proclamation No. 208 dated October 5, 1937;

WHEREAS, according to the report of the Director of Mines, the area sought to be excluded from the Talisay-Minglanilla Forest Reserve appears to be mineralized; and

WHEREAS, under the provisions of section fourteen of Commonwealth Act Numbered one hundred and thirty-seven, otherwise known as the Mining Act, lands within reservations for purposes other than mining, which, after such reservation is made, are found to be more valuable for their mineral contents than for the purpose for which the reservation was made, may be withdrawn from such reservation by the President of the Philippines only with the concurrence of the Congress.
