The Bicol Natural Park is a protected area of the Philippines located in the Bicol Region of southern Luzon. It straddles the mountainous border between the provinces of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur in the northern interior of the Bicol Peninsula. First declared as a national park covering 4,225 hectares (10,440 acres) on February 13, 1934, through Proclamation No. 657 of Governor General Frank Murphy, the Bicol National Park was later extended to its present area of 5,201 hectares (12,850 acres) through amendments made in Proclamation No. 655 signed by President Manuel Luis Quezon on December 23, 1940. The area was reclassified as a natural park on December 29, 2000, by virtue of Proclamation No. 43 by President Joseph Estrada.[3
