1° District, Sultan Kudarat

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines provides that the State affirms labor as a primary social
‘economic force. It shall protect the rights of the workers and promote their welfare. Further, the
Constitution recognizes the indispensable role of the private sector in nation building.

Following these constitutional mandates, the Domestic Workers’ Act or Republic Act No. 10361
(RA 10361) was enacted to provide a seminal framework in affording legal protection to the often
marginalized members of the community ~ the Domestic Workers or Kasambabays. The monumental
legislation is a first of it own, heralding a new tone in further improving the working conditions and
livable wage of Domestic Workers. Among others, it regulated the purely contractual relations of
being a Kasambahay. Likewise, it penalized forms of violence and discrimination against them. More
importantly, however, is that it set a minimum wage to standardize the salaries received by Domestic
Workers.

In accordance with these State policies, paragraph 5, Section 24 of RA 10361 mandates the periodic
review of the minimum wage of our Domestic Workers. Notably, since the law’s enactment on
2013, the minimum wage remains to be the same. In light of the economic effects of the pandemic
and the rising cost of living due to the recent inflation, it is aspired that through this across the
board increase of Php1,500.00 in the minimum wage of Kasambahays, their economic conditions will
be alleviated and improved.

To reach this objective of helping our domestic workers, immediate passage of this bill is eamestly
sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to declare April 7 of every year as the Barangay 
Health Workers’ Day in recognition of the barangay health workers’ 
invaluable service in the promotion and delivery of the basic health 
care in our communities. 
The barangay health workers (BHWs) are government-trained 
health volunteers who have been giving invaluable service in urban 
and  rural barangays since 1981.  For more than forty (40) years, 
the BHWs have been our health information disseminators, the 
nurturers of expectant mothers and sick children, and the 
providers of compassionate health care to many Filipinos even  in 
the remotest areas of the country.  They are the front-liners in 
providing health care services to urban and  rural communities. 
With the resurgence of disease outbreaks in different areas in 
the country, the BHWs serve as the primary caregivers of many 
poor Filipinos.  As one of the most dedicated sectors in the 
government service, they are engaged in the toughest of jobs. 
However, it is distressing that their efforts remain unrecognized 
and disregarded. 
For their services, commitment and sacrifices, barangay 
health workers, deserve a day of the year to commemorate their 
invaluable contribution in building a healthy nation.  Hence, this 
bill.    
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is 
highly recommended.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This measure seeks to declare the lands within the town proper of Silvino 
Lubos, Northern Samar and its adjacent lands not covered by the Samar Island 
Natural Park as alienable and disposable lands open for residential, agricultural, 
commercial and other productive purposes. 
The Municipality of Silvino Lubos is one of the Twenty Four (24) municipalities 
comprising the Province of Northern Samar geographically situated amidst the 
mountainous region of the province with a total land area of 22,420 hectares classified 
as timberland as indicated in the forestry land classification map. It came into 
existence by virtue of Republic Act No. 4978 on June 17, 1967. Since then, the lands 
where the town sits including its adjacent lands remain an unclassified forestland or 
timberland thereby preventing not only the present occupants thereof but also the 
local government unit to fully utilize its potential that would bolster economic 
development in the community. 
Silvino Lubos is a potential tourist destination in the Province of Northern 
Samar because of its topography comparable to that of Baguio City. With the 
construction of road that connects the town to other localities of the province, 
opportunity for tourism, business and economic development is now viable. Thus, it 
is the desire of the local government that the subject lands be declared as alienable and 
disposable lands.

into a National Road. 
Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National Road is strategically 
connected to the economic centers within the Province of Camarines Sur and the Bicol 
Region and is vital to accelerate development and increase economic activity within the 
district primarily, and the entire Camarines Sur and the Bicol Region as a whole.  
The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and efficient transportation of 
basic goods and the delivery of necessary services. It is projected that such road 
conversion shall promote livelihood opportunities, encourage competitive flow of 
investment, and ultimately enhance the economic and social living conditions not just of 
the people living along such roads, but in the arterial secondary and tertiary roads that 
lead to it. 
The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to national roads as 
prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public Works and Highways have been 
substantially met, and the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert into a national road the C. Cruz Street in Barangay Sta. Elena
traversing J.P Rizal Street, a national road, in the City of Marikina.

. Cruz Street, Marikina City is an essential road that links Pasig City to Marikina City.
The same thoroughfare is a reliable passageway for the residents of the city to get to their
destinations to perform economic activities, as well as, visiting tourists and other traffic when
traveling and and around Marikina,

Presently, however, despite the many uses of C. Cruz Street, and the convenience it
provides to the people; the repair, maintenance and improvement of the said road remains
with the local government. Thus, converting C. Cruz Street into a national road, under the
supervision, monitoring and protection of the Department of Public Works and Highways is
urgently needed for the benefit of numerous motorists and for the city’s goal of sustained
progress, livability and competitiveness through adequate and good road network.

In view thereof, early approval of this bill is hereby sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

in the Province of Dinagat Islands into a national road.

The existing roadway of Matingbe (San Jose) ~ Gomez (Dinagat), with its length of 13
KM, serves as a main thoroughfare in the locality. It is a reliable passageway heavily traversed
by the residents and is a vital infrastructure and passageway of goods and services between
sitios, barangays, and municipalities. Needless to say, the mobility the abovesaid roadway
provides to the people of Dinagat Islands is essential to the socio-economic activities and
operations of the province.

Matingbe (San Jose) ~ Gomez (Dinagat) Road is currently classified as a local road.
Thus, its maintenance and improvement are under the responsibility of the local government.
Considering the fiscal limitations of the local government, the maintenance of the road subject
of this bill cannot always be given prioritization despite its contribution and importance to the
locality.

Thus, to guarantee the availability of and access to funds for the consistent care and
maintenance of the abovesaid road, and to make sure that it continues to serve fully its purpose
and capacity, it is deemed best and urgent to convert Matingbe (San Jose) ~ Gomez (Dinagat)
Road into a national road. Doing so will redound to the socio-economic development and
promotion of the welfare of the People of the Province of Dinagat Islands.

In view thereof, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE  
This bill seeks to convert the Adiwang Road into a national road. 
Efficient roads networks are fundamental to sustaining a vibrant local economy. Roads bring in 
investments, which in turn generates employment. Baguio, being a Highly Urbanized City, and 
commonly referred to as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, is a center of business, trade, 
education and tourism in the Cordillera Administrative Region. As such, the maintenance of the 
city’s roads networks is crucial to the local economic development not just of the city but of the 
greater regional area as well. With a steady increase of visitors since 2011, ensuring the 
reliability of the city’s roads is of urgent need. 
In converting the 1.65 km-long Adiwang Road into a national road, the responsibility of 
maintenance and improvement would be transferred to the national government through the 
Department of Public Works and National Highways, allowing the local government of Baguio 
to channel funds earmarked for the maintenance of the said road to other local development 
programs. This will ensure that growth and development would not be concentrated merely on 
the areas traversed by the said road, but aptly spread across the city. The expected increase in 
economic activity in the city and the improvement of other socio-economic indicators among its 
population brought forth by the conversion of the said road shall naturally redound to the benefit 
of the national government.  
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
