The House of Representatives on Monday approved on third and final reading the proposed National Land Use bill, which does not include total ban on conversion of agricultural land for food production.

House Bill 8162 provides for a national framework for the development of the country's land to ensure its optimum use consistent with the principle of sustainable development.

"This is a long awaited measure and the President knows its importance. A National Land Use Act will give the government the tool to properly identify land use and allocation patterns in all parts of the country," Speaker Martin Romualdez of Leyte said in a statement.

The NLUC commissioner will have the rank of Cabinet Secretary, while the two deputy NLUC commissioners will be given the titles of undersecretary.
