EXPLANATORY NOTE
Roads generate linkages which allow safer mobility and ease of navigation for 
people to enter freely, bringing In more avenues and facets where growth, 
accessibility, and productivity will essentially come forth. Roads play a significant, vital 
role in providing passage between towns and provinces where a more seamless 
transport of goods and services takes place.
As deliberately stated in Article XII, Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution, the 
State must ensure the accomplishment of the goals of the national economy - that Is, 
to provide a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income, and wealth; a 
sustained increase in the amount of goods and services produced by the nation for 
the benefit of the people; and an expanding productivity as the key to raising the 
quality of life for all, especially the underprivileged.
Reinforcing a national road in the form of bridges that provides a direct passage 
to geographically dispersed provinces is a major leap in poverty amelioration and 
national economic growth enhancement for it serves as a tool in providing access to 
safe, affordable, accessible, and sustainable navigation within the province.
In light of these, one way to attain the aforementioned Constitutional objective 
is for the State to concretize plans and actions yielding the construction, development, 
and maintenance of quality infrastructure such as bridges, roads, and highways.


The purpose of this bill is to construct a bridge connecting Barangay Mabini and 
Barangay Mosangot located in the Municipality of Binuangan, Province of Misamis 
Oriental, with the principal objective of hastening transport of goods and services 
throughout the local institutions that will adequately address and alleviate the growing 
concern of poverty, inadequate access to fundamental resources, and/or isolation or 
seclusion from the centre of business activities and economic growth.
The Municipality of Binuangan serves as a home to 7,441 residents as reported 
by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) In 2020. Binuangan is a sixth (6th) class 
coastal municipality with 30.43 square kilometres of land, constituting 0.85% of the 
total land area of the province of Misamis Oriental. Most of its land area is agricultural 
in nature. Mosangot and Mabini are only two of the eight (8) barangays in the 
municipality of Binuangan with the rest, namely: Kitambis, Kitamban, Nabataan, 
Valdeconcha, Dampias, and Poblacion, province of Misamis Oriental. Barangays Mabini 
and Mosangot ranked second and third in terms of the population percentage of the 
municipality with 1, 128 (15.16%) and 1, 373 (18.45%) residents, respectively.1
Bridges and roads serve as a crucial pathway enabling easier navigation and 
transport of essential commodities and productive day-to-day activities that build and 
give life to the nation's economy. Constructing the Mabini-Mosangot Bridge aimed to 
connect two of the largest barangays in terms of population belonging in the 
Municipality of Binuangan, Province of Misamis Oriental would yield beneficial results 
and impacts on the lives of the residents both on a personal level and macroeconomic 
scale of development. Reinforcing a carefully-planned and effectively-strategized road 
network would eventually encourage and result to a positive impact on the 
socioeconomic aspect of a nation in such a way that national roads and bridges pave 
the way for economic and social advancement.
For the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
