Forest Management Bureau(DENRFMB)

Good Day, Ma’am/Sir,

I am requesting the following information from your esteemed office for the feasibility of my study, which will be solely used for academic and research purposes. 

Question: 
What should be the percentage of bamboo plantations in a government/public forest land or brushland (allowed to be afforested according to P.D. 705) that is abiding by the law?

Is there a particular law/policy/directive/presidential decree that covers this issue or tackle about the legal/allowed percentages of various plantations in a public forest land?

Thank you.
