520			_aThe Hinulugang Taktak Protected Landscape (HTPL) located in Antipolo City, Rizal, Philippines is a natural area that is managed by the local government and DENR. This study aims to assess the willingness-to-pay (WTP) of the visitors for the continued conservation and rehabilitation of HTPL; and as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) from its cultural, educational and recreational significance to the people. Respondents of this study were asked for their socio-economic profile, their perception to HTPL services and conservation, and their Willingness-To-Pay (WTP) through the Travel Cost Method (TCM). The water quality analysis was done with three (3) sampling sites in the duration of five (5) months which followed the standard procedure of Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2016-08 and the updated guidelines of the DAO-2021-19 for phosphates. The floral diversity assessment was done in three (3) identified sampling sites adapting the quadrat method of 20 X 20 meters. The flora species were identified using the Hinulugang Taktak Protected Landscape (HTPL) 3rd Quarter Biodiversity Monitoring System 2023 which was provided by City Environment and Waste Management Office (CEWMO) in Antipolo. The overall result for water quality index in three sites were found as unsuitable; proving that it is unfit for any recreational activities for the visitors. The floral diversity index yielded 48 different flora species from all the quadrats and present a rich and diverse species within the area. Respondents from the survey interview shows a very strong level of agreement for the program of conservation and protection to the HTPL. It was found that here is willingness to pay more for improved amenities at HTPL, but this willingness also diminishes significantly with higher fee increments. This urges a careful level of approach to fee increases, to achieve its optimal result for efficient and convenient funding.
