HOUSE BILL NO,_& (90

Introduced by the Honorable Munir M. Arbison.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Province of Sulu, the 2 District in particular, has been identified as one of the most
economically depressed provinces in the country. This makes all the eleven (11) municipalities in
the district dependent on the financial assistance, through the yearly internal revenue allotment,
coming from the National Government.

Notwithstanding the vast opportunities for developing the province, specially in the area
of agriculture and fisheries which can propel the economy and free the communities from the
grip of poverty, the lack of financial resources has persisted in blocking efforts towards self

sufficiency and development.

The road proposed to be converted to national road has not been maintained by the Sulu
Provincial Government owing to its very limited funds for the particular undertaking, hence
resulting into the said provincial road’s hazardous condition. This road also connects to a national

road,

This bill seeks the conversion of the 9.90 kilometers Karungdong-Pang-Niog Niog Provincial
Road to National Road, connecting the Municipalities of Kalingalang Caluang and Luuk, Sulu,
thereby giving the residents, farmers, fishermen and commuters, not only adequate but improved,
better, and safer access to other municipalities in Mainland Jolo, the Capital Town of Sulu, and
rendering smooth travel within their respective municipalities,

IR M. ARBISON

Approval of this bill is earnestly sougth.
