Hi, I am currently working on my architectural thesis. I already went to PENRO, and a forester said “cutting of trees in private property is allowed as long as the tree is disturbance to the construction of the building.” (this applies to those who have permit issued by DENR). I just wanna ask, what law can be used to justify his statement? Thanks in advance!

Dear Lucky Badilla, This pertains to your inquiry from this Office of what law should you refer as regards the cutting of trees within private properties. Based on your statement, the existence of the tree/s cause/s disturbance to the construction of a building, which is located within the same property. Pursuant to DENR Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2016-07, otherwise known as the “Manual of Authorities for Technical Matters”, the authority to issue cutting permit for trees posing danger to human lives and/or properties as evaluated by the DENR is delegated to the concerned Regional Executive Director. Should you need to be apprised on matters concerning the cutting of trees inside titled private lands, you may refer to DAO No. 2000-21, or the Revised Guidelines in the Issuance of Private Land Timber Permit/ Special Private Land Timber Permit, for more information. Hoping this suffice your query on the matter. Thank you and stay safe.
