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 claim now included in the Talisay-Minglanilla Estate 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found to be more valuable for their mineral contents than for the purpose for which the reservation was made, may be withdrawn from such reservations by the President of the Philippines only with the concurrence of the National Assembly;
