The "Barangay ng mga Mangingisda" shall be planned and designed into a human settlement jointly by the Ministry of Human Settlements, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the City Government of Puerto Princesa.

The City Government of Puerto Princesa, which has administrative jurisdiction over the area, is authorized to invoke the cooperation of other government agencies in developing the barangay into a human settlement reflective of the national government's continuing drive to built self-reliant communities.
All previous proclamations and orders contrary to or inconsistent with this proclamation are hereby revoked or amended accordingly.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.
