 METHODOLOGY
I. Theoretical Framework

A. Revised Forestry Code

As the prevailing law governing the utilization and

protection of the forest lands and its resources, It becomes
the basis of offenses and penalties that this research intends
to study as well as the authority and jurisdiction of the

them.
 B. Revised Master Plan for Forestry Development

In response to the continuously evolving issues affecting

forestry in the country, The Department of Environment
and Natural Resources formulated the Master Plan for
Forestry Development in which an action agenda was
proposed.

stakeholders to re-evaluate, revise and promote adherence
to MPFD considering other emerging issues in forestry and
the environment
II. Conceptual Framework

in the Revised Forestry Code and illustrate its involvement in
the Revised Master Plan for Forestry Development in order
that such penalties may become an avenue for the rehabilitation
of the forest lands. This study will also examine existing
procedures in implementing such rehabilitation efforts of the
bureau, its feasibility and advocate or recommend schemes to
bolster the implementation.
