EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article X, Section 13 states that, "Local 
government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, 
services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance 
with law." The State needs to significantly improve and develop tourism and 
economic activities in the country.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
convert the Barangay Mabini-Pintor-Union, Municipality of Gamu Road to 
Mangcuram-Lullutan, City of Hagan, all of the Province of Isabela into a National 
Road.
The existing 21-kilometer Mabini-Pintor-Union, Municipality of Gamu to 
Mangcuram, Lullutan, City of Hagan provincial road is a vital network which links the 
Municipality of Gamu to the City of Hagan, Isabela. The road is of great importance 
in the economic, commercial and civic expansion of the fast growing of Gamu, 
Isabela as it provides the shortest seamless connection to the City of Hagan, Isabela. 
As it is now, the provincial road services to connect two national highways, the 
Hagan-Delfin Albano-Mallig Road and Gamu to Roxas Road, shortening travel time


from the towns of Burgos and Gamu Hagan City. It stretches parallel to the Santiago- 
Tuguegarao Road.
Moreover, the conversion of this road will improve access to government and 
commercial services as a well-maintained road network will bring hospital, churches, 
markets, academic institutions and commercial establishments even closer to the 
people.
In view of the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
