EXPLANATORY NOTE
This   bill   seeks  to  convert  the  Jct.   Loay  Interior  Road-Pob.   Dagohoy-La
Esperanza-Taming,  Danao  Road  located  in  the  Province  of  Bohol,  into  a  national
road.
The  existing  Jct.  Loay  Interior  Road-Pob.  Dagohoy-La  Esperanza-Taming,
Danao Road is a provincial road with a length of 26.200 kms. It is composed of gravel
and  upgraded  road  with  a  concrete  width  of  6.10  meters.  It  directly  connects
secondary roads in which motorist traveling from the towns of Dagohoy and Danao
or vice versa may traverse the said road without necessarily passing through the busy
streets of the neighboring towns; it effectively reduced travel time and  as well  as
maintenance costs.
Improvement  of  road  network  is  essential  in  uplifting  the way  of  life  and
economic stability of the municipalities involved. A smooth  road  is essential  in the
safety of travelers and effectively hastens transportation of goods and services, more
so that most residents are into farming. Converting the said road to national road is
also  necessary to  support  Bohol  tourism  and  agribusiness  industry.  It  could  spur
socio-economic development in the 2nd  District of Bohol  considering families  may
have easy access to schools and health facilities; it also affords easy access to famous
destinations  such  as  the  Danao Adventure  Park,  Sea  of Clouds  and  other tourist
attractions.
Cognizant  of  the  impact  of  a  well  maintained  and  quality  roads  to  the
promotion and enhancement of Bohol tourism and other industries, conversion of
this  road  is  being  prioritized  and  proposed  to  be  funded  under  Tourism  Road
