government and shall undergo legal

Reasons for the Proposal

I proposed this to further hear the side of the landowner in considering to give the full possession
oof his/ her land to the government in exchange with the equivalent compensation. There are so
many cases where conflicts arises when forceful land acquisition is performed. To avoid such
conflicts the government and land owners should have a transparent conversation and agreement
for these types of matters.

Reasons for the Proposal

The utilization of the environment should be moderately done so that the natural dwellings will not
be interfered. As such endangered species, their lives are crucial and must be protected by all
means. The used resources should be replaced and must not be taken for granted, we need to
apply “Give and take” and vice versa approach. Our country is embedded and jeweled with
tremendous resources it is up to us Filipinos how to conserve and develop these wonders for the
prosperity of our nation.
