First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO, 3539

Introduced by: Hon. Angelina “Helen” D.L. Tan, M.D.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The Guinayangan-Sumulong Road is a provincial road situated in the Southern
portion of Quezon Province. It is the only major arterial road in the area, which links the
municipalities of Guinayangan and Calauag in the Province of Quezon. It is directly
connected to Maharlika National Highway at Barangay Sumulong in Calauag, Quezon.

Despite its reconstruction and improvement over the years, the Guinayangan-
Sumulong Road needs continuous and sustainable improvement, which is farfetched if it is
merely to rely from the provincial government alone. Hence, this bill seeks to convert the
road into a national road to provide funding appropriations for its rehabilitation,
maintenance and improvement.

It is hoped that the conversion of the Guinayangan-Sumulong Road into a national
road will greatly contribute to the economic growth and development of the municipalities
of Guinayangan and Calauag, as well as the neighboring towns of Buenavista, San Narciso,
San Andres and Lopez.

Moreover, the conversion will allow economically depressed barangays which are
traversed along the road to have better access to transportation. Viability of trade and
commerce will also be enhanced and vital government programs and services on
education, health, agriculture, energy, eco-tourism and infrastructure can be delivered and
administered at a faster grind. This will help alleviate the plight of residents in the area
who had been living below poverty line for years.

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