VELASCO JR., J.
That these converted lands were declared as a Special Economic Zone by then President Ramos (Luisita Industrial Park II) only emphasizes the desirability and economy of using them as industrial lands. Before they may be used for other purposes, reclassified agricultural lands must undergo the process of conversion; [313] the DAR's approval of the conversion of agricultural land into an industrial estate is a condition precedent for its conversion into an ecozone. [314] A proposed ecozone cannot be considered for presidential proclamation, unless the landowner first submits to PEZA a land-use conversion clearance certificate from the DAR. [315]
