AN ACT ESTABLISHING AN E-LIBRARY IN BARANGAY QUITANG IN THE 
MUNICIPALITY OF PASACAO, CAMARINES SUR AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS 
THEREFOR 
This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Quitang in 
Municipality of Pasacao, 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.

HON. TYRONE D. AGABAS 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to rename the Urdaneta City Bypass Road located in the City of Urdaneta, 
Pangasinan to Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr. Avenue.   
The construction of the Urdaneta City bypass road was initiated by then Congressman Mark 
O. Cojuangco of the 5th District of Pangasinan to address traffic bottlenecks along the Manila North
Road in Urdaneta City and to establish an improved national road system in the Province of
Pangasinan. It is Congressman Cojuangco’s vision to make Urdaneta the premiere city of Pangasinan.
Carrying his vision, we continued the construction of the bypass by funding the same. And after years
of careful planning, the 7.17-kilometer Urdaneta bypass road was open to the public on January 18,
2021 and today, it is ready to accommodate 38,000 motorists every day.
Seeing that the Urdaneta City bypass road has started from the vision of Congressman Mark 
Cojuangco, it is only fitting that we rename Urdaneta City Bypass Road to Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr. 
Avenue to honor and recognize the origin of the said road.  
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

House Bill No, 9247

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.
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides:

SECTION 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and
nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human
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.

There is a need to establish an elementary school in the Habitat relocation site in Barangay
Indahag in Cagayan de Oro City.

This bill proposes to establish an Elementary School in the Habitat relocation site in Barangay
Indahag 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.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a multi-species fresh water marine hatchery in Barangay Lumbia
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
development of the fisheries sector and allied industries in the concerned barangay. It will also
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 wll also provide additional employment and income opportunities and
address the demand for fish and other seafood. iB

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

Introduced by Honorable FERNANDO T. CABREDO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to rename the Jovellar National High School in the Municipality of
Jovellar, Province of Albay, into the Don Jose Y. Arcangel High School.

Jovellar is a scenic little municipality that lies on the southern portion of Albay that
borders on the province of Sorsogon. Since the Spanish times, many members of the Arcan-
gel clan had served as town executives in Jovellar. Among them was Don Jose Y. Arcangel
who was its Municipal Mayor from 1942 to 1944. Soon after his term, he donated (through
his son Jose who succeeded him as Mayor), a piece of land where Jovellar National High
School now stands.

In recognition of this benevolent gesture, the Sangguniang Bayan of Jovellar on
March 16, 2021, passed Resolution No. 2021-170 which requested Honorable Fernando T.
Cabredo to pass a legislation that will rename the Jovellar National High School into the Don
Jose Y. Arcangel High School.

The Resolution also cited the vital role of the Arcangel family as partners in the de-
velopment of the school community “that aim to produce globally-competitive Jovellarefios
learners.”

The school authorities of Jovellar were also supportive of the renaming of Jovellar
National High School. They said that “this is the least we can do in return for your unparal-

leled support to the cause of education.”

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

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay San Cirilio 
(Pob.) in Municipality of Pasacao, 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

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.

EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS
REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES )
Second Regular Session )

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez

House Bill No. 9044
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Puntod 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.
