EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS )
REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES }
‘Second Regular Session

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriquez
House Bill No, 9048

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-tibrary in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Camaman-an 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. _9937

Introduced by Representative EVELINA G. ESCUDERO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Barangay San Ramon, Bulan- Barangay Gadgaron, Matnog, Provincial
Road is a 43-kilometer road network that connects the Municipality of Bulan to the
Municipality of Matnog, Sorsogon. This road network is of vital importance as this is
the only road that leads all types of land vehicles to Matnog, Sorsogon, the gateway
to the Visayas islands. It is a significant facilitator of economic activities of the National
Capital Region and the Visayas, as goods to-and-fro, these regions are transported
through this road network.

It has been long recognized that the economic development of a region is
greatly facilitated by its road network. The quality of roads influences regional
productivity through the facilitation of efficient movement of goods and labor. Not
only does this facilitate economic development, but also people's access to social,
health, and education services of the government. Thus, a well-kept road network is
crucial in improving the lives of the constituents of the province.

As the 43-kilometer road network is categorized as a Provincial Road, it is
maintained and rehabilitated by the Province of Sorsogon. The limited resources of
the provincial government hinder it from sufficiently allocating annually what this
vital road network actually needs for its upkeep.

Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the 22.5-kilometer Barangay San Ramon,
Bulan- Barangay Gadgaron, Matnog, Provincial Road into a National Road to ensure
that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department of Public Works and
Highways with adequate funding from the national government.

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

Introduced by Representative Rufus B. Rodriguez

House Bill No. 9043
EXPLANATORY NOTE

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

Introduced by Representative DAVID “JAY-JAY” C. SUAREZ

AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE LAND TRANSPORTATION OFFICE (LTO) DISTRICT
OFFICE TO BE LOCATED IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF TIAONG, PROVINCE OF
QUEZON

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill seeks to set up an LTO District Office in the Municipality of Tiaong, Province
of Quezon. Its core objective is to bring efficient motor vehicle registration and license
approval and renewal services closer to the residents of the second (2) district of Quezon
and neighboring towns.

The LTO District Office in Tiaong, Quezon, once established, will help decongest the daily
volume of transactions in nearby LTO offices, like the LTO Lucena District Office, Quezon
Licensing Center, San Pablo District Office, and Laguna Licensing Center.

The Quezon Province is the largest in CALABARZON. It has ranked as the 12" biggest province
in terms of having a population of 2,122,830, according to the 2015 Census. Being a first-
class province, it has the potential to be one of the fastest-growing economies in the region.

The creation of LTO office as sought in this proposed measure will deliver a more efficient,
practical, and secured public service to the increasing number of registrants.

The passage of this measure is our gesture of committing to a more progressive land
transport sector in the province of Quezon.

Itis for this reason that the approval of this measure is respectfully sought.
