AN ACT RENUMBERING THE CEBU FIRST, SECOND, AND FOURTH DISTRICT
ENGINEERING OFFICES TO CONFORM AND CORRESPOND, RESPECTIVELY,
‘WITH THE NUMBERING OF THE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS IN THE
PROVINCE OF CEBU

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is a refiled bill. This bill was already approved by the House and was already
transmitted to the Senate where it was due for plenary deliberation. This bill seeks to effect
the change of numerical names of the 1", 2™, and 4" District Engineering Offices (DEOs) in
the Province of Cebu to conform with the numerical names of the Congressional districts they
serve amending for this purpose Republic Acts No. 9043 and 9218.

The province of Cebu is composed of seven (7) congressional districts each has an
engineering districts office (DEO) implementing the infrastructure, development thereof.
These congressional districts are correspondingly named 1*, 2", 34, 4, 5%, 6", and 7" DEO.
Three (3) of these DEOs, however, do not correspond to the numerical name of the
congressional district they are serving, namely; Cebu 1* DEO which serves the 4°
Congressional District, Cebu 2" DEO for the 1* Congressional District, and Cebu 4" DEO
for the 2" Congressional District.

‘The disparity between the numerical denomination of the district engineering offices
and the congressional district has created confusion in the minds of the transacting public. It
has also caused some documents to be rerouted to the different engineering office or even
lost.

Needless to say, the change of name of the Cebu 1%, 2°, and 4" DEOs to correspond
to the numerical names of the congressional districts where they exercise jurisdiction is
imperative.

Hence, the approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
