Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez

House Bill No.
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Bugo in Cagayan de
Oro City.

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.

House Bill No. 9237

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to establish a fish port in Barangay Bulua in the 1* District of Cagayan de Oro
City.

There is a need for this proposed fish port because majority of the residents of the barangay
are small-time fisher folks who mainly rely on fish and marine resources for their livelihood
and daily subsistence. It will provide an avenue for trade and give these fisherfolk access to
consumers and vice versa. It will also be a place for the fishermen to refuel, resupply, and dry-
dock their small fishing vessels.

Once established, the fish port facilities will surely uplift the livelihood of fishermen and fish
workers in the barangay and will be a big step in modernizing the fisheries sector which will
lead to sustainable fishing and conservation of fishing grounds.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this meastire is earnestly requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a multi-species fresh water marine hatchery in Barangay Agusan
in Cagayan de Oro City.

‘Some of the more common species of fish that Filipinos eat include Hito, Maya Maya, Apahap,
Tilapia and Plapla. These are all fresh water fishes.

As such, in order to ensure sustainability and a constant supply of these fishes, we need to
put up multi-species fresh water marine hatcheries which will contribute to the growth and

give the fisherfolks the opportunity to undergo training and learn and improve present practices
to improve productivity.

These hatcheries will also improve the income not only of the residents of the barangay but
the entire city as well. It will also provide additional employment and income opportunities and
address the demand for fish and other seafood,

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The renaming of the National Orthopedic Hospital (NOH) School for 
Crippled Children is meant to inculcate to everyone the idea of inclusivity to create 
an environment that fosters equality and sensitivity. Other than crippled students, 
NOH-School for Crippled Children presently caters to a myriad of other 
individuals with disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disability, Down 
Syndrome, Autism, Epilepsy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), 
Global Development Delay (GDD) and many other, taking up at least eighty (80) 
percent of the school’s total population. 
It is important to take the initiative of changing its name to one that 
approximates the complex nature of its clientele and its response to all disabilities 
with the use of politically correct terminologies. Thus, after many years of carrying 
its current name, NOH-School for Crippled Children’s stakeholders have agreed to 
use a more appropriate name that best describes its current character. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

From its humble beginnings as a municipality, Antipolo has indeed come a long way 
with its growth and development rapidly increasing following its conversion into a component 
city of the Province of Rizal in 1998.  
Classified as a first class component city based on income, Antipolo has been officially 
designated as the capital of Rizal Province, a development that is seen to further promote 
progress. 
This measure is seen to provide Antipolo not only with the recognition it deserves, but 
also an opportunity for Antipoleños to realize and celebrate the immense potential of their city.

THEREFOR 
This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Namuat in 
Municipality of Gainza, Camarines Sur. 
Many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays still have no access to public 
libraries or reading centers despite the enactment of Republic Act 7743. The law 
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”.  
Libraries are important cornerstones of a healthy community. They give people access to 
a wealth of information, opportunities to learn, explore and research. However, libraries 
with actual books are expensive to build and maintain. Technologies can help us with an 
alternative that need not be as expensive. Setting up computers in the barangay to 
access e-books and other information is an example. Moreover, an electronic library has, 
not only text data but also sound, graphics, and motion video, in the form of digital data. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez

House Bill No. 9083
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay 28 in Cagayan de
Oro City. This e-library shall be for the cluster of Barangays 26 to 30.

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.

HOUSE BILL NO. _______ 
Introduced by HON. JOY MYRA S. TAMBUNTING 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Article II, Section 23 of the Constitution states that “[t]he State shall encourage non-
governmental community-based or sectorial organizations that promote the welfare of the 
nation.” 
This measure seeks to Act No. 4075 as amended by Presidential Decree No. 1654, otherwise 
known as Solicitation Permit Law, which was enacted with the purpose of regulating donations to 
ensure legality of funding activities. In the ensuing years since its passage, several issues were 
identified in its implementation. Among those were: the need to justify the monitoring of 
individuals, organizations, or associations who were issued authority to conduct solicitation; the 
need to religiously monitor the proceeds of solicited funds to ensure that these are delivered to 
the intended beneficiaries or are all used for projects that these are intended for and to protect 
the general public as well as beneficiaries from exploitation; the existence of several organizations 
conducting fund-raising activities without the required solicitation permit; and the need to 
increase the penalties or sanctions for violators and those soliciting funds outside the country. 
Whilst the intent of the said law is noble, the regulation of donation drives, particularly those 
smaller in scale, adds an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy which may deter individuals from 
organizing much needed initiatives for the community in times of crises and emergencies. 
On behalf of the people of Parañaque City’s Second District, and for the common good of the 
Filipino people, the approval of the said measure is earnestly sought.
