| Other Details The road leading to the forest can be dangerous during the rainy season. There are also human intrusions within the reservation area, like tree-cutting activities and shacks being built, which may threaten the existence of wild creatures. The forest is a home to century-old trees. It used to be known as the Talisay-Minglanilla Reforestation Project. It was initiated through the efforts of the late president Sergio Osmeña Sr., who, as Senate president, sponsored a bill allocating P10,000 for the project. President Manuel Quezon renamed the site and proclaimed it a forest reserve back in 1937. |
