AN ACT CONVERTING THE SANTIAGO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN 
BARANGAY SANTIAGO, MUNICIPALITY OF LAUA-AN, ELEMENTARY 
SCHOOL INTO AN INTE GRATE D SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS THE 
SANTIAGO INTEGRATED SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS 
THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Education is a right and not a privilege. To this end, Article XIV, Section 1 
of the 1987 Constitution provides that: “The State shall protect and promote the 
right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps 
to make such education accessible to all”. Thus, we should strive to ensure that 
every child in the country would have access to quality education. 
Barangay Santiago is located in the hinterlands of the Municipality of Laua-an. 
Due to its remote location, the children have no access to secondary education. Thus, this bill seeks 
to convert the Santiago Elementary School in Barangay Santiago, Municipality of Laua-
an  in the Province of Antique to be known as the Santiago Integrated School to ensure 
that school children of Barangay Santiago and neighboring barangays will have access 
to quality primary and secondary education without having to travel too far from 
their neighborhood. 
In line with the policy adopted by its original proponent Senator Loren 
Legarda, this bill therefore serves as a re-filed measure. It is for the reasons stated 
above that the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.

AN ACT ESTABLISHING AND CREATING THE SACUB NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF HAGONOY, DAVAO DEL SUR AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The 1987 Constitution in Article XIV, Section 2, Paragraph (2) mandates that “The
state shall establish and maintain a system of free public education in elementary and high
school levels.”

‘The Municipality of Hagonoy in Davao del Sur has been noted as having one of the
higher population densities in the whole province. It is noted that from the elementary
graduates of each year from the municipality, only a small percentage are able to manage to
proceed in obtaining secondary education due to poverty. Without any existing high schools,
students are forced to enroll somewhere else just to obtain secondary education, if ever at all.

The nearest public high school therefrom is the Digos National High school.
However, apart from high costs of education, the distance from the barangay to the city is
roughly eight kilometers making transportation expenses, board and lodging and other related
expenses, additional expenditures to the cost of sending children to high school which could
hardly be afforded by parents who are mostly plain laborers.

Further, the said public high school is already cramped up with students coming from
different municipalities of Davao del Sur thus, it is undeniable that the school can no longer
accommodate more enrollees.

It is now the perfect time that Sacub should have its own high school through the
enactment of this bill into law.

Itis for this reason that approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

AN ACT CONVERTING THE ANTIPOLO-SAN JUAN ROAD 
INTO A NATIONAL ROAD 
This bill seeks to convert the Antipolo-San Juan Road in Camarines Sur, into a National 
Road. 
Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National Road is strategically

HOUSE BILL No. 3815

Introduced by Representative Alan | B, Ecleo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill aims to convert Del Pilar ~ Nueva Estrella Road located in
Cagdianao, Province of Dinagat Islands into a national road.

The existing roadway of Del Pilar ~ NueVa Estrella, with its length of 3.45 KM, serves
as a main thoroughfare in the locality. It is a reliable passageway heavily traversed by the
residents and is a vital infrastructure and passageway of goods and services between sitios,
barangays, and municipalities. Needless to say, the mobility the abovesaid roadway provides
to the people of Dinagat Islands is essential to the socio-economic activities and operations of
the province.

Del Pilar ~ Nueva Estrella Road is currently classified as a local road. Thus, its
maintenance and improvement are under the responsibility of the local government.
Considering the fiscal limitations of the local government, the maintenance of the road subject,
of this bill cannot always be given prioritization despite its contribution and importance to the
locality.

Thus, to guarantee the availability of and access to funds for the consistent care and
maintenance of the abovesaid road, and to make sure that it continues to serve fully its purpose
and capacity. it is deemed best and urgent to convert Del Pilar ~ Nueva Estrella Road into a
national road. Doing so will redound to the socio-economic development and promotion of the
welfare of the People of the Province of Dinagat Islands.

In view thereof, the passage of this bill is eamestly sought.

AN ACT
DECLARING OCTOBER 5 OF EVERY YEAR A SPECIAL NONWORKING
HOLIDAY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF STA. CRUZ, PROVINCE OF DAVAO DEL
SUR INCOMMEMORATION OF ITS FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY, TO BE
KNOWN AS “ARAW NG SANTA CRUZ”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Existing for more than a century, the municipality of Sta. Cruz was legally created on
October 5, 1884 and is the third oldest town in Mindanao. It was originally called Labo, a
Bagobo word meaning marshland and its early settlers were the Bagobo-Tagabawa tribe led by
Datu Ali

According to the people of Sta. Cruz, when the Spaniards came and failed to
Christianize the settlers, a cross was placed under a shelter and when another set of migrants
came, the place became known as “SA CRUZ” which then eventually tured to Sta. Cruz.

The municipalities of Digos and Padada broke off from the original territory of Sta.
Cruz and from Padada, other municipalities were formed. Today, the municipality of Sta. Cruz
is comprised of eighteen (18) barangays, 2 of which are coastal barangays.

As the oldest town in Davao del Sur, it prides itself of tourist destinations including the
Sibulan Trail to Mt. Apo, the Bagobo Cultural Village, Mount Loay and the Bato Tuban
Tagabuli Seascape which includes the Passig Islet and Secret Island that are declared as Marine
Protected Areas. There is also the Tagabuli Bird Sanctuary, Palaka Hot Springs, Saliducon
Cave and the Badjao Village.

Undeniably, the existence of the Municipality of Sta. Cruz shall be honored and never
forgotten. As such, to protect its rich and diverse history, especially the indigenous peoples,
and celebrate the hard work of all of its citizens and their struggle for self-determination, the
‘Araw ng Sta. Cruz is hereby strengthened.

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

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to designate April 16 of each year as Marikina City Day, and a special
non-working holiday to commemorate the founding anniversary of the city.

From its lowly origin as an idyllic town and later as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines,
Marikina has witnessed and weathered history's tumults to become what it is today, a
booming city with robust economy that has brought pride to the country through local and
temational acclaim, Under the stewardship of competent men and women and the
cooperation of the inspired citizenry, successful programs and initiatives have reaped awards
and are emulated elsewhere. The city also takes pride in its storied past through the promotion
of tourism in its religiously maintained historic spots.

In recognition of the men and women who toiled for Marikina in the past and the
present generation of Marikefios who contribute to the city's growth in one way or another,
April 16 is hereby set aside as a non-working holiday in the city. This much needed respite
would present itself as an opportunity for everyone to think of and work for future endeavors
in light of past victories,

Marikina Day has already been declared a special working holiday in virtue of
Republic Act No, 10788 or An Act Declaring April 16 of Every Year a Special Holiday and No Cla
Day in Schools in the City of Marikina in Commemoration of its Founding Anniversary to be Known

HOUSE BILL NO. 3511

Introduced by HONORABLE ROMEO M. ACOP

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Solid-Marikina Infanta Road is a provincial road situated in Antipolo
City. It is a two-lane concrete road with an approximate length of 6.71 kilometers
and a width of 6.30 meters. It runs from the Antipolo-Teresa Road to the
Marikina-Infanta Road.

‘The reconstruction and improvement of the subject road have been
continuously undertaken through the years and thereby greatly improving its
surface, road alignment and drainage structures. With the use of the said road,
the more efficient movement of commuters and goods have been evident.This
resulted to an enhanced flow of trade and commerce and the delivery of basic
services in the communities traversed by the said road.

However, without appropriate funding for maintenance, the road will slowly
and progressively deteriorate. Without proper and consistent attention to it, the
condition of such infrastructure would absolutely decline. As such, this
emphasizes the need to provide funds for the purpose of continuously
maintaining the road at its best condition for the general welfare of commuters
and motorists plying the route.

The conversion of the Solid-Marikina Infanta Road into a national road is
aimed at ensuring its continuing contribution to the economic growth and
development not only of the economically depressed barangays traversed by it but
also of the adjacent municipalities.

With its conversion into a national road, funds from the National
Government through the Department of Public Works and Highways can now be
appropriated to facilitate its continued maintenance and improvement.

For the foregoing reasons, the immediate passage of this measure is
earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The very first Rotary Club in the Philippines opened its doors on June 1, 1919, when the Rotary
Club of Manila was chartered through the efforts of Rotarian Roger Pinneo of Seattle,
Washington, USA who travelled to the Philippines specifically to organize Rotary Clubs in Asia.

As one of the leading humanitarian service organizations in the world, Rotary brings together
leaders from the business and professional sectors and provide community service, promote
integrity, and advance goodwill, peace, and understanding in the communities where Rotary
Clubs are active

Today, Rotary Clubs in the Philippines continue to extend social and community services for the

youth, and vulnerable sectors of society through outreach programs and scholarship foundations
most notable in fact is the continuing advocacy and campaign to end polio.

This bill therefore seeks to declare February 23 of every year as a special working holiday in
recognition and appreciation of the contributions that more than 900 Rotary Clubs in the
Philippines have extended to our respective communities

As a Past President of the Rotary Club of Metro Dadiangas in the City of General Santos, Rotary

HOUSE BILL No. _3800_

Introduced by Representative Alan 1 B. Ecleo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill aims to convert the roadway of Rita Glenda to Sombrado to Villa
Ecleo National Highway located in Basilisa, the Province of Dinagat Islands into a national
road.

The existing roadway of Rita Glenda to Sombrado to Villa Ecleo National Highway,
with its length of 6.50 KM, serves as a main thoroughfare in the locality. It is a reliable
passageway heavily traversed by the residents and is a vital infrastructure and passageway of
goods and services between sitios, barangays, and municipalities. Needless to say, the mobility
the abovesaid roadway provides to the people of Dinagat Islands is essential to the socio-
economic activities and operations of the province.

‘The Roadway of Rita Glenda to Sombrado to Villa Ecleo National Highway is currently
classified as a local road. Thus, its maintenance and improvement are under the responsibility
of the local government. Considering the fiscal limitations of the local government, the
maintenance of the road subject of this bill cannot always be given prioritization despite its
contribution and importance to the locality.

‘Thus, to guarantee the availability of and access to funds for the consistent care and
maintenance of the abovesaid road, and to make sure that it continues to serve fully its purpose
and capacity, it is deemed best and urgent to convert the roadway of Rita Glenda to Sombrado
to Villa Ecleo National Highway into a national road. Doing so will redound to the socio-
‘economic development and promotion of the welfare of the People of the Province of Dinagat
Islands.

In view thereof, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
A Barangay Captain is, first and foremost, a servant-leader. It is a highly esteemed 
position and the role to be carried is laden with huge responsibilities, akin to how a parent 
cares for their children. They are the first line of government services and are responsible for 
ensuring the welfare of their constituents, from providing basic services, initiating 
developmental projects and mediating disputes among their constituents. 
Similar to the Barangay Captain, the Barangay Kagawad and Sanguniang Kabataan 
members also play a significant role in governing their community. They are not just a 
supporting complement to the Barangay Captain, but vital segments of the barangay 
leadership. 
Recognizing the significant roles of the aforementioned barangay officials, this measure 
seeks to ensure that the national and local government policies, projects, and programs can be 
adequately carried out by the elected barangay officials by giving them a longer period of 
time to govern from three (3) years to four (4) years with the eligibility to be elected in three 
(3) consecutive terms.
Further, with the extended term of office, barangay officials will not be carried with
political changes every three (3) years as they presently carry the same term with other local 
and national government officials. 
In view of the above, the consideration and passage of this measure is hereby earnestly 
sought.

Section 3 of Republic Act No. 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of

Basie Education Act of 2001, emphasizes as one of its goals the establishment of

schools and learning centers as facilities where children are able to learn a range of

core competencies prescribed for elementary and high school education programs.

The results of the 2018 and 21

, out of 81 countries, the Philippines now ranks sixth-

Assessment reveals the bottom ranking of the Philippines, viz,

respectively. Accordi

lowest in both mathematics and reading, and third-lowest in science. Thus, the
dismal performance of our students highlights the rising demand for quality
mathematics and science education, thereby necessitating the establishment of

mathematics and science high schools in the country.

‘This bill seeks to establish the Negros Occidental Mathematics and Science
High School in the Municipality of Hinoba-an, Province of Negros Oceidental, with
the goal of producing well-trained and highly skilled individuals fully equipped to

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Owning a vehicle is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessity. It is an important asset 
that caters to various needs of people, whether it is for transportation, commuting purposes, or 
delivery of goods and products. 
Most of the average households in the country own and maintain a vehicle primarily 
because of the above-said purposes. As such, the vehicle owner must adhere to the fact that 
apart from its regular maintenance and occasional repair, one of the most challenging 
predicaments of owning a vehicle is the annual registration with the Land Transportation 
Office (LTO). 
This proposed measure seeks to lessen the burden of owning a vehicle by allowing for 
a longer validity period of its registration. The vehicle owner may register his motor vehicle 
with a longer validity, depending on the age of the vehicle. This will help save motor vehicle 
owners time and effort to register. This will also result to the reduction of the administrative 
costs of the L TO in handling the registration. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
