HOUSE BILL No. _2'766

Introduced by: HON. SALVIO B, FORTUNO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Nabua — Bato - Libon (Albay Boundary)
Road in the Province of Camarines Sur with a net length of 14.512 kilometers to
a national secondary road.

The said provincial road which stretches from Barangay Tandaay in the
Municipality of Nabua up to Barangay Buluang in the Municipality of Bato, all in
the Province of Camarines Sur serves as a vital alternate route to that of
Maharlika Highway and will effectively enhance its usefulness as a secondary
trunk line connecting the Municipalities of Bula, Balatan, Bato and Nabua, all in
the Province of Camarines Sur to its farthest point which is the Municipality of
Libon in the Province of Albay.

Considering the present dominant position of the Province of Camarines
Sur in the tourism industry, all its road components must be properly paved and
maintained to encourage local and international tourists to visit tourist
destinations in the province.

There is an urgent need therefore to convert the said provincial road into a
secondary national road to continuously make it as a vital route to be properly
maintained by the national government if only to sustain the dominant position of
the province in the tourism industry. This will also greatly benefit the people,
particularly the poor residents in these remote areas as transportation of
agricultural products and other commodities will become convenient, safe and
comfortable to the public

The foregoing reasons warrant the approval of this bill

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Consistent with the fundamental law, the State is mandated to 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 (Section |, Article XIV,
1987 Constitution).

For most Filipino parents, education is a very important legacy that they
can give to their children. Education is the fulfillment of their moral obligation as
parents. Thus, this kind of thinking motivates and inspires Filipino parents to
always aim for better education for their children

This bill seeks to establish a barangay community college in Barangay
Lapasan. The barangay community college will provide the basic facilities
necessary to enhance the quest of the people of Cagayan de Oro for better
education. An affordable college for high school graduates of the City of Cagayan
de Oro will give much wider latitude to learning and technical-know-how in both
tertiary and post-graduate levels. The college will enable the youth to finish their
studies and afford them the opportunity of improving their status in life.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is highly and earnestly

recommended.

ordinary citizen.

In the 4% Congressional District of Bulacan, only the Rogaciano M. Mercado Memorial
Hospital is servicing the growing population of Meycauayan City, as well as the Muncipalities of
Marilao and Sta. Maria, The Municipality of Obando does not have a public hospital.

This proposed bill seeks to establish a public hospital in the Municipality of Obando. In the 15"

EXPLANATORY NOTE

For several years the twelve (12) kilometer road from Barangay Cumadcad to Barangay
Macalaya, Municipality of Castilla, Province of Sorsogon has been neglected, With only the use
of Countrywide Development Funds and Congressional Initiative Allocations, a significant
portion of the road has been paved.

Barangay Macalaya is noted for its abundant fishery products and other agricultural crops
produced by other neighboring barangays. A fishery port in Barangay Macalaya has been
constructed to serve its fisherfolks, To hasten the improvement of said road network, there is a
need to convert it into a National Road. In so doing, it will benefit not only the residents of
Barangay Cumadead and Barangay Macalaya but also other barangays along the way and the
neighboring Municipality of Magallanes, Province of Sorsogon and the Municipalities in the
Island of Ticao, Province of Masbate.

Hence, the immediate approval of this Bill is eamestly requested,

This Bill seeks to convert the San Jose Del Monte - Marilao Road,
presently classified as a provincial road into a national road.

The San Jose Del Monte - Marilao Road in the City of San Jose Del Monte
is a 2.0 kilometer stretch of roadway starting from the crossing area of Barangay
Muzon to Barangay Loma De Gato of Marilao, Bulacan. The volume of traffic in
this roadway is heavy as it is often plied by commuters and transport vehicles
carrying goods and services to and from the City via the adjoining town of
Marilao to the North Luzon Expressway. The road also serves as a major
transport artery for heavy trucks loaded with bulks of cement products
transported from cement plants in nearby town of Norzagaray.

The existing roadway is in a state of disrepair because the provincial
government cannot provide the necessary maintenance funds.

INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSWOMAN AURORA ENERIO-CERILLES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is the duty of the State to establish and maintain a system of free public education in
the high school level, to protect and promote the right of citizens to quality education,
and to take appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. This bill seeks to
carry out this duty through the establishment of a National High School in Barangay
Liguac, Municipality of Pitogo, Province of Zamboanga del Sur.

A barangay of a fifth-class municipality, Barangay Liguac has a sizable number of
elementary graduates who are unable to pursue secondary education because of the
location and limited number of high schools in the vicinity. This hinders the residents’
right to accessible education and deprives the barangay the opportunity to develop its
community and improve the quality of the residents’ lives in various aspects —
economic, social, cultural, political, and spiritual.

Economically, education provides citizens the necessary knowledge, skills, and values
that will support the country’s economic growth and will make the country progressive
and prosperous. Most importantly, education helps break the vicious cycle of poverty
from one generation to the next.

The establishment of a National High School makes high school education more
accessible to the barangay and would result to more educated Filipinos who would then
have better opportunities to improve their living standards. This bill does not only give
utmost importance to education but also helps in creating economic opportunities and
strengthening our national economy.

| therefore seek the immediate passage of this very important bill

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to establish a TEN (10) BED capacity community emergency hospital in
the Municipality of KalingalanCaluang, 2° Legislative District, Province of Sulu.

The high mortality rate in the interior municipalities in Mainland Jolo, Sulu, is attributed
to the lack of health facilities in the area, distance to hospitals and low literacy rate. The
weather in Sulu, of which rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, is also a factor
because when it rains travel by land transportation, in the interior of mainland Jolo often
becomes hazardous and causes vehicular accidents, especially in times of emergencies. The
province of Sulu is listed among the top ten (10) most depressed provinces in the country
today. Poverty, coupled with low education compel the inhabitants to be more occupied in
meeting their daily sustenance, for food and other necessities, which become the reason why
they have negligible health care concern. Consequently, many patients and their families in the
locality have suffered pain and even die especially in emergency medical cases, without seeing
a medical doctor or even setting foot ina hospital, by reason of high costs of hazardous travel to.
distant hospitals.

In compliance with the mandate of the state to protect and promote the right to health
of the people, it is necessary that a community emergency hospital be established in the

Municipality of Kalingalan Caluang.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to prohibit all pre-school and elementary schools from requiring
graduating pupils to wear a toga during their graduation ceremonies.

The practice of requiring graduating pupils to wear a toga during graduation rites has
become more and more prevalent. This undoubtedly imposes an additional expense and burden
on their parents.

Moreover, the toga is a symbol of triumph, achievement and status. Thus, the practice of
making mere pupils wear them might also be contributing to the stunting of ambition in the
young (and their parents) by giving them the false impression that finishing elementary school is
‘already a major educational achievement.

We must instill ambition in our young and encourage them to strive for more education.
We must help them understand that in order to have a fighting chance at success they need to at
least finish secondary school. Thus, the wearing of a graduation toga must only be allowed in
graduation rites in secondary schools, tertiary schools and higher educational institutions. After
all, in our highly competitive world, these have become the graduation rites of real significance.

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

Teneguiban is an island barangay some kilometers away from the Poblacion

distance constraint, many of its youth and those of nearby barangays find it
difficult to avail of secondary education after graduating from elementary schools.
To date, there are several elementary schools in the vicinity that can serve as feeder
schools to the proposed ‘Teneguiban High School.

By making available secondary education to the youth of Teneguiban, we

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Anakan, Gingoog

Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides:

“ 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.”

In consonance with the foregoing constitutional mandate, it is the duty of the
government to ensure that the youth, even in the remotest corners of the countryside,
are not denied their right to quality and accessible education. The establishment of a
national high school in Barangay Anakan will accommodate the growing population of
students in the area and adjacent barangays. It will also ensure these young people the
continuity of their elementary education. Moreover, such secondary school in the area
will decongest other schools in nearby cities, decrease travel time for students and
lower family expense for transportation. Finally, it will provide students with the
opportunity to learn and receive the sound basic education they need and deserve that
will help them become active contributors to the acceleration of social progress and
economic development in the area and the country as well.

established as a City which rightfully referred to as the “City of Gapan” or “Gapan City.” From
then onwards, every year, on the twenty-fifth of August, the City celebrates its establishment.
This date bears public significance to the constituency of Gapan, as it marks a defining moment
of their worth even before the formal declaration of the town as a City. It is only proper to

celebrate a commemorative event of the birth of a New City.

Also on this day, the City of Gapan celebrates their “Tsinelas Festival,” a festival that showcases
one of the many products that this progressive new city produces. In order to properly observe
this glorious day, may I therefore request that every Twenty-Fifth of August of each year be

declared as a Special Non-working Public Holiday in the City of Gapan.

The passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

The fundamental law, in Section 15 of Article II of the 1987 Constitution on
State policies, has this stated: “The State shall protect and promote the right to
health of the people and instill health consciousness among them”.

Indeed, health care is probably the most basic services that the
government should provide inasmuch as a healthy people and a healthy nation
do come together.

In fact, in Section 11 of Article XIII, ‘adopting an integrated and
comprehensive approach to health development to make essential goods, health
and other social services available to the .people at affordable cost’ is the
government's one of few primordial objectives.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The nearest Registry of Deeds, or branch registry office of the Land Registration
Authority, to the Fourth District of Batangas is twenty-seven (27) kilometers from
the nearest town, Lipa City, and almost fifty (50) kilometers from the town of San
Juan.

Residents of five towns of my district - namely, Ibaan, San Juan, Padre Garcia,
Rosario and Taysan - find it quite difficult and, in fact, expensive to commute the
long distance to the said office to conduct their transactions. Since the Batangas
City Registry of Deeds serves so many towns, it would be practical to open
another branch office to also unload it of so many responsibilities.

This bill proposes the creation of a branch registry office of the Land Registration
Authority in Rosario, Batangas, to address these concerns.

Given the foregoing premises and the urgency of the nature of business
conducted in this office, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
