    HISTORY

    The LLDA was organized by virtue of Republic Act No. 4850 as a quasi-government
    agency with regulatory and proprietary functions. Through Presidential Decree 813 in
    1975, and Executive Order 927 in 1983, its powers and functions were further
    strengthened to include environmental protection and jurisdiction over the lake basin’s
    surface water. In 1993, through Executive Order 149, the administrative supervision
    over LLDA was transferred from the Office of the President to the Department of
    Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

    OUR MANDATE

    The Laguna Lake Development Authority was created by Republic Act No. 4850 (as
    amended by Presidential Decree 813), entitled: An Act Creating the Laguna Lake

    Funds Thereof, and for Other Purposes.

    Chapter I, Section 1:

    “It is hereby declared to be the national policy to promote, and accelerate the

    the national and regional plans and policies for social and economic development and
    to carry out the development of the Laguna Lake region with due regard and adequate
    provisions for environmental management and control, preservation of the quality of
    human life and ecological systems, and the prevention of undue ecological
    disturbances, deterioration and pollution.”
