Fortune Island (Philippines)
Fortune Island is a resort island in Batangas province in the Philippines. The island lies about off the coast of Nasugbu town in Batangas. The island is located at Latitude: 14° 3' 0 N, Longitude: 120° 28' 60 E; and it is within the boundaries of Batangas.
==Ownership and development==
The island was long owned by José Antonio Leviste, a former governor of Batangas Province. Leviste opened the Fortune Island Resort Club on the island in 1995. The beach resort was built along a stretch of pristine white sand. Several rest houses facing the water. The resort features a salt-water swimming pool, clubhouse, cabana, basketball court, helipad, desalinator for freshwater consumption, and a small serpentarium, a reptile zoo for snakes. The beach also has an acropolis with Grecian pillars and statues on the edge of the island overlooking the sea. There is also a museum dedicated to the ''San Diego'', a Spanish warship that sank off the island (see below).〔http://www.manilatimes.net/others/special/2004/mar/17/20040317spe1.html〕〔http://www.manilatimes.net/others/special/2004/mar/15/20040315spe1.html〕
This island has since been parceled out into seven lots reportedly titled in the names of three companies: Fortune Resort Club, Inc., Meridian Pacific Hotel Corp., and Batangas Bay Development, Inc. Leviste holds either majority stocks or has interests in these companies.
Some government officials believe that Leviste’s ownership of Fortune Island underwent “scheming procedures” to acquire both judicial and administrative titles. These officials believe that these titles should never have been granted for two reasons, firstly, the island is classified as a marine reserve under Proclamation 1801, issued in 1978 by President Ferdinand Marcos and, secondly, Section 16 of Presidential Decree 705 (the Revised Forestry Code), which provides that “areas less than 250 hectares which are far from, or are not contiguous with, any certified alienable and disposable land" are “areas needed for forest purposes and may not, therefore, be classified as alienable and disposable land.” Some government officials further contend that subdividing Fortune Island into lots was a “ploy” to skirt environmental and other pertinent laws.〔http://www.manilatimes.net/others/special/2004/mar/17/20040317spe1.html〕〔http://www.manilatimes.net/others/special/2004/mar/15/20040315spe1.html〕
