HOUSE BILL NO. 10044 
Introduced by Rep. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to provide for the construction of a national highway from Brgy. 
Balagatasa to Brgy. Maliwanag, in the Municipality of Maigo to Sitio Trese, with a junction at 
the Lanao del Norte Interior Circumferential Road in the Municipality of Tangcal, to be known 
as the Maigo-Tangcal National Highway. 
Opening up the interior communities will definitely improve the lives of our shared 
constituents in the Province of Lanao del Norte, a dream envisioned with the passage of the 
Lanao del Norte Interior Circumferential Road into a national legislation. However, with 
limited funds from the Government to complete the Interior Circumferential Road, feeder roads 
to complement the long national highway should be constructed and opened to the motorists. 
It will also help promote peace and security in the interior localities, with better access to 
government services and more presence from our security forces.  
In view of the foregoing premises, the prompt approval of this measure is earnestly 
sought and recommended.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Mobile phones are efficient means of transmitting and receiving information. People can 
use their mobile phones to store music, communicate with friends and family, play games, 
browse the internet, and do various other things. Mobile Phones have grown in popularity in 
recent years due to their portability, cutting-edge features, and ability to interact with social 
media. 
A mobile phone allows people to access their phone whenever and wherever they want. 
This is critical for students who wish to check their grades after school or ask their parents for 
assistance with their homework. It can also benefit teachers because it makes it easier for 
students to ask questions in class. 
However, the bringing in and use of cellular phones in schools disrupts learning. The 
primary purpose of school is to learn. Cellular phones can hinder students' concentration. It can 
also make cheating easier. The concept of passing notes or answers to quizzes has made it to the 
digital age. This possibility of cheating and copying are limitless when students have access to 
cellular phones in class. 
It is paramount that we know that cellular phones are just technological tool that allows 
us to do myriad of things, both good and bad. And, as younger students are bringing phones to 
school, it's worth thinking through the possible negative side effects that can come with it. 
In view of the aforementioned facts, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Article XIV, Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution provides that the State 
shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education at all levels 
and shall take necessary and appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. 
Likewise, Section 2 of the Constitution mandates the State to establish and maintain 
a system of free education in the elementary and high school levels. 
Education is the most basic social service that the government can provide 
its citizenry. It is an essential requisite for economic growth and the key to 
nourishing secure, healthy and productive individuals. This measure, which seeks 
to establish a National High School in Barangay Kasanyangan, Zamboanga City, to 
be known as Kasanyangan National High School, is a vital step toward this direction. 
This measure aims to provide Zamboangueños access to quality education 
and, at the same time, decongest the overpopulated national high schools in the 
abovementioned barangays.  
In view of the foregoing reasons, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
An ISO-certified local government unit, the municipality of Pilar in the province of 
Sorsogon stands as one of the early settlements established by the Spaniards in Luzon. It 
was named Pilar in homage to the newborn infant princess, Pilar, the daughter of Spanish 
King Philip II and Queen Isabel I. 
Officially declared a separate town on August 6, 1861, it encompassed a cluster of 
visitas, namely Sto. Niño, Panlatuan, Ynang, Putiao, Sapa, and Cadanlogan. Throughout the 
years, Pilar has successfully navigated challenges posed by insurgencies, calamities, and a 
significant fire incident in 1997. 
The commemoration of a municipality's founding anniversary serves as a poignant 
reminder of its enduring culture and traditions. This celebration uplifts the morale of its 
people, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of their shared history as a 
community. The annual festivities associated with this occasion also play a crucial role in 
strengthening the bonds among the local populace, contributing to the broader tapestry of 
Filipino culture. 
In light of the above, earnest approval of this bill is sought.

HXPLANATORY NOTE
The creation of a national high school in Barangay Dulian, Zamboanga City is a
necessary  step  towards  promoting  educational  equity  and  inclusivity.  Currently,
many students in our barangay face significant challenges in accessing secondary
education due to the lack of nearby schools. As a result, they are forced to travel
long distances, often at great expense, to attend schools in neighboring areas. This
not   only   places   a   financial   burden   on   families   but   also   limits   educational
opportunities for our youth, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
By enacting legislation to establish a national high school in Barangay Dulian, we
can eliminate these barriers and provide all students with the opportunity to receive
a quality education close to home. This will not only increase eurollment rates but
also improve educational outcomes and foster a sense of pride and belonging within
the barangay.
Furthermore, the creation of a national high school in Barangay Dulian will have
far-reaching benefits for Barangay Dulian's development and prosperity. It will serve
as  a hub  for academic,  cultural,  and  social  activities,  bringing together students,
parents,  educators,  and barangay residents  in a shared pursuit of knowledge  and
growth.
It is in this light that the early approval of this bill is eamestly sought.

AN ACT
RENAMING THE MATTI NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN MATTI, DIGOS CITY
TO THE GOVERNOR DOUGLAS RA. CAGAS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The State recognizes the role of the youth in nation-building by promoting their physical, moral,
spiritual, intellectual and social well-being. Itis also the policy of the State to give priority to education,
science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism, nationalism, accelerate social
progress, and promote total human liberation and development.? Unfortunately, despite the technologies
available today, there is still an inherent inequality in the access to affordable and quality education.

In 2016, Republic Act No. 10841 was signed into law, separating the Digos City National High
School Annex in Barangay Matti, City of Digos, Province of Davao del Sur converting and renaming
it to the Matti National High School. Gratefully, the land where the educational institution is located
was donated by the late, former Govemor and Congressman Douglas RA. Cagas.

This bill seeks to rename the Matti National High School to the “Governor Douglas RA. Cagas
National High School”, to honor the memory and legacy of the former Governor and Congressman,
Hon. Douglas RA. Cagas.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought.

PREGNANT FILIPINO WOMEN BELONGING TO THE LOW-INCOME GROUP, 
PROVIDING FUNDS THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The 1987 Philippine Constitution is clear in declaring the importance of health especially 
among the vulnera ble sectors like women: 
"The State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development 
which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all the 
people at affordable cost. There shall be priority for the needs of the underprivileged, sick, 
elderly, disabled, women, and children. The State shall endeavor to provide free medical care to 
paupers."1
The State likewise recognizes the role of women in nation-building such that the 
following declaration by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in the Philippines 
resonates with urgency: 
"No woman should die giving life. Yet every year 2,400 women and girls die in the 
Philippines from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Eradicating 
preventable maternal deaths is a human rights imperative . .. "2
According to a report quoting the UNFPA Philippines, in 2021, a total of 2,478 women 
died due to childbirth in the Philippines - more than double the 2019 figure of 1.458 women due 
to pregnancy-related complications or childbirth. UNFPA Philippines also noted that 14% of 
pregnant women in the country do not receive necessary medical care, including regular 
checkups during their pregnancy. One in 10 women is also unable to access health facilities nor 
assistance from skilled healthcare personnel during childbirth. 3

AN ACT REGULATING WORK MEDIATED, ORGANIZED, OR ALLOCATED 
THROUGH ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PHILIPPINE 
WORKERS IN THE GIG ECONOMY 
Explanatory Note 
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that the State shall afford full 
protection to labor, local and overseas, organized and unorganized, and promote full 
employment and equality of employment opportunities for all. They shall be entitled 
to security of tenure, humane conditions of work, and a living wage.1 
The gig economy is a segment of the service economy based on flexible, 
temporary, or freelance jobs, often involving connecting clients and customers 
through an online platform.2
A gig economy, also known as the sharing economy or access economy, relies 
heavily on temporary and part-time positions filled by independent contractors and 
freelancers rather than full-time permanent employees. Gig workers have flexibility 
and independence but little or no job security. In a gig economy, employers save 
money when they do not have to provide benefits such as health coverage and paid 
vacation time. 3
According to the Asian Development Bank, the global gig economy has 
expanded due to its flexibility in generating employment and providing services 
(Chen et al. 2020; Hall and Krueger 2018). Several empirical studies have shown that 
gig economy platforms are efficient in matching workers with clients, which reduces

livelihood that contribute to the economic growth and prosperity of San Juan -
Lambanog, Palayok, and Karagatan. This festival will provide opportunities for
tourism, culture, and the arts to flourish. As such, declaring December 12 of every

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The creation of a national high school in Barangay Mariki, Zamboanga City is a
necessary  step  towards  promoting  educational  equity  and  inclusivity.  Currently,
many students in our barangay face significant challenges in accessing secondary
education due to the lack of nearby schools. As a result, they are forced to travel
long distances, often at great expense, to attend schools in neighboring areas. This
not   only   places   a   financial   burden   on   falnilies   but   also   limits   educational
opportunities for our youth, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
By enacting legislation to establish a national high school in Barangay Mariki, we
can eliminate these barriers and provide all students with the opportunity to receive
a quality education close to home. This will not only increase enrollment rates but
also improve educational outcomes and foster a sense of pride and belonging within
the barangay.
Furthermore, the creation of a national high school in Barangay Mariki will have
far-reaching benefits for Barangay Mariki's development and prosperity. It will serve
as  a hub  for academic,  cultural,  and social  activities,  bringing together students,
parents,  educators,  and barangay residents in a shared pursuit of knowledge  and
growth.
It is in this light that the early approval of this bill is eamestly sought.

House Bill No.10877 
Introduced by HON. ALAN "ALDU" R. DUJALI 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This legislative measure seeks to create a Sub-District Engineering Office in the Island 
Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS), Province of Davao del Norte. 
The Province of Davao del Norte initially has one existing Department of Public Works and 
Highways (DPWH) District Engineering Office (DEO) located in Tagum City, which caters to the 
needs of the two legislative districts of the Province. However, due to the high volume of 
infrastructure projects and programs for both districts being handled by a single District 
Engineering Office, implementation delays and backlogs are often encountered. 
By virtue of RA 12014, otherwise known as, “An Act Creating a District Engineering Office 
in the Second Legislative District of the Province of Davao del Norte, and Appropriating Funds 
Therefor”, which was approved on August 01, 2024, the establishment of a District Engineering 
Office in the Municipality of Carmen is currently on the way. Once operational, this Office shall 
be responsible of the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure projects of the Second 
Legislative District of Davao del Norte. 
A matter of concern is the Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS), wherein the island is 
detached from the mainland, which presents some challenges in the implementation of projects 
and programs. It is therefore practical to establish a DPWH Sub-District Engineering Office in 
IGaCoS for a more convenient and efficient delivery of services of the DPWH to the Island. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

The conversion from Extension office to District office of the Land Transportation Office in 
the Municipality of Binangonan, Rizal, represents a significant step towards enhancing

regional cooperation and ensures that the broader population benefits from improved 
accessibility to LTO Services as its district office extends its reach to neighboring 
municipalities. 
As the Region continues to develop and progress, the number of registrants, transactions, 
and work services is expected to rise significantly. By the Conversion of LTO Binangonan 
Extension Office to LTO Binangonan District Office, we are ensuring that the needs of the 
people are met effectively, while also contributing to the overall development and progress 
of the region. 
Given these circumstances, the passage of this bill is not just advisable but indeed an 
imperative action to meet the evolving requirements of the local populace and promote the 
efficiency and effectiveness of government services in the region. 
It reflects the commitment to improving the lives of the people and the fostering of the 
development in the 1st District of Rizal, making this cause earnestly sought by all stakeholders

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Municipality of La Trinidad houses the Benguet Agri-Pinoy Trading Center 
(BAPTC) which is the country’s biggest vegetable trading facility and which 
eventually paved the way for the Province of Benguet to be acclaimed as the “Salad 
Bowl of the Philippines”. Apart from the said central facility, La Trinidad is also home 
to over 700 strawberry farms—making the infamous Strawberry Farm as the 
province’s top tourist destination. These strawberry farms produce over a thousand 
metric tons of the said fruit every year—making La Trinidad the central and biggest 
producer of strawberries in this country.  
The Municipality of La Trinidad annually holds the Strawberry Festival in pursuit of 
recognizing the success of strawberry farming as being one of the major economic 
drivers in the municipality and the province of Benguet, as well as encouraging more 
farmers to join the industry. Therefore, taking in to account such accomplishments, it 
is a must to officially declare the Municipality of La Trinidad in the Province of 
Benguet as the “Strawberry Capital of the Philippines”, which this bill foremostly 
seeks. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
