: AN ACT

TO BE KNOWN AS THE MULANAY MEDICAL CENTER, UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION AND

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article Xill, Section 11 of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, provides that:

"The State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development
which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all the
people at affordable cost. There shall be priority for the needs of the underprivileged sick, elderly,
disabled, women, and children. The State shall endeavor to provide free medical care to paupers.”

This measure, which seeks to address the medical needs of the people of the Municipality of
Mulanay, Province of Quezon, aims to establish a public hospital to be known as the Mulanay Medical
Center.

Mulanay is a coastal municipality in Quezon. The municipality has a land area of 420.00 square
kilometers or 162.16 square miles which constitutes 4.80% of Quezon's total area. Its population as
determined by the 2020 Census was 55,576. This represented 2.85% of the total population of Quezon,
or 0.34% of the overall population of the CALABARZON region. Based on these figures, the population
density is computed at 132 inhabitants per square kilometer or 343 inhabitants per square mile.

Mulanay is 279 km away from the southeast of Manila and 142 km away from Lucena City, the
capital of Quezon Province. Hence, the establishment of the Mulanay Medical Center will provide its
marginalized, underprivileged, and underserved constituents quality, accessible, and efficient health
care services in line with the vision of the Universal Health Care law.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
