HOUSE BILL no__546 5

Introduced by Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016, identified infrastructure
development as one of its critical components, The agenda calls for more
infrastructure, particularly roads and bridges, to sustain and broaden our country’s
economic development. While we need to build more roads and bridges that we

can afford, we must also maintain and preserve our existing roads.

The conversion of the provincial road into a national road is essential to the
economic and social development of a particular municipality specially if such road
network traverses into agricultural areas as means for the exchange of goods and

services into nearby municipalities. Many of the local government units, the province or

city, for instance doesn’t have the financial and material resources to carry out the tasks
of road maintenance. The purposes of road maintenance are to reduce the rate of
deterioration and prolong the service life of road; to provide the riding public with more
convenient and safe road travel and to effectively cut costs in the wear and tear on

road;

Hence, it is imperative that provincial roads be turned over to the national
government to assure that adequate funding be appropriated for its maintenance and
improvement.



Hasan Junction - Nagsinamo Road is a provincial road situated in the City of

‘Tayabas and the Town of Lucban, Province of Quezon. The road is inter-connected with

two national roads namely the Tayabas- Mauban Road and Tayabas-Lucban Road.

Without appropriate funding for maintenance, the road will slowly deteriorate.

Conversion of llasan-Nagsinamo Road into a national load will greatly contribute to the
fast economic growth and development both of Tayabas City and the Municipality of
Lucban, well as the surrounding municipalities of Mauban and Sampaloc in Quezon, and
municipalities of Majayjay, Magdalena, Luisiana and Cavinte in the Province of Laguna.
It will hasten the delivery of and exchange of agricultural products and market
commodities of the aforementioned areas and the transportation system will likewise

improved.
With its conversion into a national road, funds from the national government thru
the Department of Public Works and Highways can now be channeled to accelerate the

improvement of the aforementioned provincial road.

In light of the foregoing, immediate approval of this Bill is highly recommended.
