EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks  to convert the existing Land Transportation
Office     (LTO)     Cabagan     Extension     Office,     located     in     the
Municipality of Cabagan,  Province of Isabela,  into  a regular LTO
District Office.
Located  in  the  heart  of  the   lst  District  of  Isabela,   the
Cabagan  Extension  Office  serves  not  only  the  Municipality  of
Cabagan  but  also  the  neighboring  municipalities  of Sam  Pablo,
Sta.   Maria,   Sto.   Tomas,   Tumauini,   and   Delfin   Albano.   This
strategic  location underscores the office's pivotal role  in regional
transportation management and public service.
Despite  the  lack  of a  dedicated  budget  from  the  national
government and the absence of permanent staff positions due to
its  status  as  an  extension  office,  the  Cabagan  Extension  Office
has   consistently  achieved   an   excellent  rating  for  its   Quality
Management  System  from  the  Anti-Red  Tape  Authority.   This
remarkable  performance  highlights  the  office's  efficiency and  its
staffs  dedication  to   service,   managing  to  deliver  outstanding
results under constrained resources.


The conversion of the  Cabagan Extension Office into a full-
fledged   district   office   is   a   necessary   step   to   recognize   its
significant  contributions  and  to  enhance  its  capabilities.  As  a
district office, it will receive direct budgetary allocations, enabling
the  establishment  of  permanent  positions,  which  will  further
stabilize  and  improve  the  office's  operations.  This  change  will
allow   the   office   to   expand   its   services,   reduce   bureaucratic
delays,  and  continue  to  excel  in  its  commitment  to  serving  the
growing needs of the Filipino people in the region.
It is imperative that this bill be enacted to ensure that the
LTO Cabagan office can continue to provide efficient and effective
service with the proper resources it justly deserves.
In  view  of the  foregoing,  the  immediate  approval  of this
bill is earnestly sought.
