SYNOPSIS FOREST RESOURCES The Philippines total land area of about 30 million hectares is legally classified as alienable and disposable land and forestland. As of 2011, classified forestlands covered 15.05 million hectares or 50%; unclassified forestland of 0.755 million hectares or 3% and alienable and disposable lands spanning 14.19 million hectares or 47%. The classified forestland which is mainly for forest use is further categorized into established timberland (10.056 million hectares or 69%), established forest reserves (3.270 million hectares or 22 %), national parks, game refuge and bird sanctuaries and wilderness areas (1.34 million hectares), military and naval reservations (0.126 million hectares), civil reservation (0.166 million hectares) and fishponds (0.091 million hectares). About 755,000 hectares are still unclassified forestland wherein the use of which has not been determined.

The latest available forest cover data dates back to 2003 pending the result of the interpretation and analysis of newly acquired satellite imageries by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA). Based on the 2001-2003 satellite imageries, the total forest cover of the Philippines is estimated at 7.168 million hectares or 24.27 percent of the countrys total land area. Of the total forest cover, open forest accounted for more than half at 4.031 million hectares. The rest of the forest types contributed to the total as follows: closed forest with 35.71 percent, plantation forest

with 4.60 percent and mangrove natural forest with 3.45 percent.

There were 135 proclaimed watershed forest reserves in the country as of 2011 with a total area equal to 1.56 million hectares. The largest watershed in the country is Lake Lanao Watershed Reservation in Lanao del Sur spanning to 0.180 million hectares. Second among the largest proclaimed watershed forest reserves is Kabulnan River Watershed Forest Reserve in Region 12 with an expanse of about 116,452 hectares spread over the provinces of Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao and South Cotabato. Region 3 has the most number of watershed forest reserves with 25 and also the biggest coverage with a combined area of 0.281 million hectares mostly found in the province of Aurora. The National Capital Region (NCR) encloses the La Mesa Watershed Forest Reserve which is the primary source of drinking water in Metro Manila stretched over an area of 2,659 hectares. FORESTRY ACTIVITIES

Community-based Forest Management (CBFM) is the Philippines main strategy for the sustainable development of its forest resources. The CBFM integrated and unified all people-oriented forestry programs of the government. The primary instrument of the program is the Community-based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA) which totaled to 1,790 in 2011 with tenured area of 1.634 million hectares. A total of 1,790 Peoples Organization (POs) was involved in these projects, participated in by 322,248 households.

On February 26, 2011, President Benigno S. Aquino III issued Executive Order No. 26 ordering and declaring the implementation of the National Greening Program (NGP) as a government priority. The NGP addresses the priority program thrusts of the country such as poverty reduction, resource conservation and protection, productivity enhancement and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Under the program, all tree planting efforts of the government sector, private organizations and civil society are harmonized. The program shall plant 1.5 billion trees covering about 1.5 million hectares for a period of six (6) years from 2011 to 2016

As of December 31, 2011, the NGP has planted a

total of 128,559 hectares and 78 kilometers. Of the total hectares planted, the DENR accomplished 82,164 hectares or 64 % while the other partners planted 46,395 hectares or 36 %. FOREST RESOURCES UTILIZATION Licenses, Leases and Permits

As of December 2011, there were three (3) remaining Timber License Agreements (TLA) which existed with an aggregate area of 177,085 hectares located in Western Samar and Zamboanga del Norte. The decreasing number of TLAs during the recent years is attributed to the policy of the government to phase out this tenure instrument in favor of Integrated Forest

Management Agreement (IFMA) and other development initiatives.

The existing IFMAs numbered 146 with a total area of 1,034,192 hectares. By geographical region, Luzon has 47 IFMAs covering 336,551 hectares; Visayas has 12 at 25,027 hectares and Mindanao 87 with total area of 672,613 hectares. Region 3 has the most number of IFMAs with 25 covering 151,384 hectares followed by Region 11 with 21 comprising 103,386 hectares. In terms of area, Region 13 had the largest coverage spanning to 358,449 hectares consisting of 17 agreements, ten (10) of which can be found in Agusan del Sur while Region 8 recorded the least area of 1,824 hectares representing 4 IFMA sites.

The existing Tree Farm Leases (TFLA) numbered 75 with

a combined area of 6,815 hectares. Region 2 had the most number of these leases with 29, ten (10) of which were located in the province of Isabela. Meanwhile, there were only 8 remaining Agroforestry Farm Leases (AFFLA) during the year with a total area of 1,275 hectares.

As of December 2011, there were 1,872 Socialized Industrial Forest Management Agreements (SIFMA) issued with an aggregate area of 35,918 hectares. About 69 % or 1,293 of these SIFMAs were located in Region 2, particularly in Isabela and Cagayan. Private Forest Development Agreements (PFDA) had been brought to a standstill at 91 with corresponding area of 4,992 hectares.

The number of existing Forest Land Grazing Lease Agreements (FLGLA) and permits totaled to 325 with a combined area of 89,364 hectares at the end of the year. Most

xvi

of these grazing leases are located in Regions 2 being the top with 91 covering an area of 15,556 hectares, CAR, 3, 4B, 5, 10 and 12.

The Special and forestland use agreement is a

contract between the DENR & natural or juridical person authorizing the latter to temporarily occupy, manage and develop subject to government share, any forestland of the public domain for specific use to undertake any authorized activity therein for a specified period. Examples of activities under this agreement are bathing establishments, tourism sites, communication station sites, sanitary landfill, road-right-of way, energy projects and a host of other specific uses of forestlands. Falling under the 25-year lease are the Special Land Use Agreement or FLAg, Special Land Use Lease Agreement (SPLULA) and Special Land Use Lease Agreement for Tourism (FLAgT). A shorter term of 1-3 years is given under the title of Special Land Use Permit (SLUP). As of December 2011, a total of 238 special and land use permits and agreements existed with an aggregate area of 4,560 hectares. The Special Land Use Permit (SLUP) had the most number issued which totaled 175 with area of 889 hectares. The FLAg, SPLULA and FLAgT tallied at 15, 17 and 32, with areas covering 2,592, 87 and 992 hectares, respectively.

There were 47 rattan cutting contracts covering an aggregate area of 351,684 hectares with allowable cut of 21.1 million linear meters. Of these, 26 contracts were located in Mindanao with the biggest allowable cut found in Region 13 with 8.74 million linear meters taking 41 %

of the national total figure. Regions 10 and 11 followed with a combine allowable cut of 5.2 million linear meters.

The total number of existing plywood plants in the

country was 43 with a daily rated capacity of 2,730 cubic meters while the existing veneer plants numbered 40 with a daily rated capacity of 885 cubic meters. Majority or more than 80% of the plywood and veneer plants are located in Mindanao.

There were 50 (fifty) existing regular sawmills in the country with permit to operate during the year. Out of these, only 28 were active with a daily rated capacity of 1,198 cubic meters and an estimated annual log requirement of 430,652 cubic meters. Four (4) of these active regular sawmills sourced their log supply from their own timber concessions while twenty-five (25) companies had log supply contract with log suppliers. Mini-sawmills was counted at two hundred fifty-five (255) with a combined daily rated capacity of 1,503 cubic meters. Region 10 had the most number of mini-sawmills with 126 and daily rated capacity of six hundred seventy-six (676). Production

Production of logs during the year under review totaled 871,126 cubic meters posting a notable increase of 56 % over last years production. Logs coming from plantation forest accounted for 98 % of the total production manifesting 856,243 cubic meters, of which 721,056 cubic meters or 84 % were from private plantations. On the other hand, production of naturally grown logs shared only 2 % to the total log production, and dramatically dropping by 88 % from the previous years level of 14,883 cubic meters. Expectedly, the drop is the offshoot of

xvii

Executive Order 23 calling for the moratorium on the cutting of trees from the natural and residual forests which came into force in the early part of the year. The CARAGA or Region 13 took the biggest portion of the total log production with 518,750 cubic meters or 59 %. The production of naturally grown logs mostly came from the IFMAs.

Lumber production slightly declined in 2011

manifesting 371, 602 cubic meters or a drop of 2 % compared to the previous years level of 377,428 cubic meters. Meanwhile, plywood production increased during the year exhibiting 299,860 cubic meters or an 8 % rise over the previous year. Similarly, veneer production posted 184,768 cubic meters or an increment of 36 % from the 2010 level.

Most of the non- timber forest products manifested
