House Bill No. 2080
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay 8 in Cagayan de Oro
City. This e-library shall be for the cluster of Barangays 6 to 10.

Republic Act 7743 provides for the establishment of “additional public libraries to serve all
congressional districts cities and municipalities in the Philippines and reading centers in every
barangay except in cities or municipalities where there are existing public libraries or in
barangays where there are existing reading centers...”

Further, the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates that municipalities, cities and
provinces maintain a public library as part of their basic services and facilities.

Unfortunately, there is no full-implementation of the above provisions of law as there are still

many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays with no access to public libraries or
reading centers.

While it would undoubtedly be very costly to put up a public library, especially for a barangay,
an alternative would be to put up an e-library with at least 3 sets of computers with access to

the internet in the barangay halls. This e-library can be used by the public to do research, get
access to e-books and gather valuable knowledge and information.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Chen Botao is a Chinese Citizen and a family man from Guangdong, China,
and has been living in the Philippines since 2015. He was hired for a supervisory
position of Jslink International Corporation, an IT company, owned by Filipino-
Chinese friends..

That span of time gave him and his family firm belief to stay permanently in
the Philippines. That despite constant struggles experienced day to day, Mr. Botao still
had a sense of fulfilment and of value in work. He was fully satisfied and decided not
waste time to take a firm grip on this opportunity outside his country of origin.

Mr. Botao, together with his family and friends, wanted to make sure that the
kindness given to them be returned. The Philippines has been their home for many
years now and have no intention of residing anywhere else. He aspires that sooner he
can also be part of the our country’s citizenry.

If given a chance to become a full pledged Filipino citizen, he promises to be of
help in the progress of our country in its development, progress, and more so, to the
general welfare of the Filipino people. In fact, he started in his own backyard ~ his
company’s employees. He hopes that he will be given the chance to continue serving
our people that he has considered as brothers and sisters.

In view of Mr. Chen Botao’s wish to become a Filipino citizen, approval of this
bill is earnestly sought.

House Bill No. 9248

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Cagayan de Oro is a highly urbanized city in Misamis Oriental in Region 10. It is widely
regarded as center of industry, trade and commerce in the region. It is also considered an
education hub in the region. Due to this, the population in Cagayan de Oro has been
increasing.

Unfortunately, there are not enough schools to cater to the increasing demand.
Atticle Il, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides:

SECTION 17. The State shall give priority to education, science end
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster

nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total Hi
liberation and development.

Article XIV Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution provides:
SECTION 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate
steps to make such education accessible to all.

It is very clear that it is the duty of the State to ensure that its citizens have access to quality
education and the first step is to provide them with schools.

At present, there is no school in Sitio Macapaya in Barangay Camaman-an in Cagayan de
Oro City. The students in said sitio have to travel to neighboring schools in order to be able
to go to school.

This bill proposes to establish an Elementary School in Sitio Macapaya in Barangay
‘Camaman-an in order to address the increasing demand for a school in the area to handle the
increasing number of students.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.
