The purpose of the establishment of Pan-as Hayiban Protected Landscape is to protect and conserve the ecological, biological, scientific and educational features of the area.
Insofar as the rules and regulations over natural parks consistent with the provisions of NIPAS Act, they shall continue to apply until Congress shall otherwise declare. All other applicable laws shall remain in full force and effect.

A person qualifying for a tenured migrants status as of the effectivity of the NIPAS Act shall be eligible to become a steward of a portion of land within the appropriate management zones of the protected area and from which he may derive subsistence.
The PAMB appointed by the Secretary shall perform such powers and duties as specified in the NIPAS Act and as delegated to it by the Secretary under such Act. All decisions made pursuant to those rules and regulations shall have the force and effect of acts of a final PAMB under the NIPAS Act.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.
Done in the City of Manila, this 3
