CRUZ, PROVINCE OF ZAMBALES, AND OPENING TO DISPOSITION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF COMMONWEALTH ACT NUMBERED ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THE SAID PARCEL OF LAND, SITUATED IN THE BARRIO OF GUISGUIS, MUNICIPALITY OF STA. CRUZ, PROVINCE OF ZAMBALES, ISLAND OF LUZON.

Whereas a petition has been filed for the release of certain mining claims located in the barrio of Guisguis, municipality of Sta. Cruz, Province of Zambales, from the Communal Pasture established under Forestry Administrative Order No. 5-23, dated November 20, 1933;

Whereas, according to the findings of the Director of Mines and the Director of Forestry, concurred in by the Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce, the land embraced in the said mining claims now included within the Communal Pasture 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found to be more valuable for their mineral contents than for the purpose for which the reservation was made, may be withdrawn from such reservations by the President of the Philippines only with the concurrence of the National Assembly;

Now, therefore, I, Manuel L. Quezon, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby revoke Forestry Administrative Order No. 5-23, dated November 20, 1933, and open to disposition under the provisions of Commonwealth Act Numbered One hundred and thirty-seven, the said parcel of land situated in barrio of Guisguis, municipality of Sta. Cruz, Province of Zambales, Island of Luzon, as shown and described on Bureau of Forestry Map No. Cn. P.-23.

This proclamation shall not take effect until it is concurred in by a resolution of the National Assembly duly adopted for the purpose.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Commonwealth of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done at the City of Manila, this eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the fifth.
