The Philippine Forestry Sector plays a vital role in the national government's quest  to improve the quality of life of the Filipino people. Since forests have multiple functions that positively contribute to the environment and the economy, it is important that their management be guided by policies that reflect the goals and aspirations of our society. This concern is summarized through the following vision:

" A forest that creates wealth for our nation as the cradle of life, nurtured by our people's aspiration for a just, humane and progressive society guided by the ideals of our ancestors and the blessings of God Almighty."

To realize this vision, the application of the best available technology, where appropriate and where economically viable, shall be encouraged in order to increase production and ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of forest management.
