EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 9 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that 'The 
State shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity 
and independence of the nation and free the people from poverty through policies 
that provide adequate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard 
of living, and an improved quality of life for all."
The Municipality of Dapa is a 4th class coastal municipality in the Province of 
Surigao del Norte. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 29,006 
people. Most of the municipality is situated in Siargao Island, but Middle Bucas 
Grande and East Grande Islands are also within its jurisdiction. It is known as the 
"Growth Center of the beautiful islands of Siargao".
The bill seeks to convert the circumferential road covering the nine (9) island 
barangays in the Municipality of Dapa, Surigao del Norte, from barangay road to 
national road. The island barangays involved are Bagakay, Cabawa, Dagohoy, 
Montserrat, San Miguel, Sta. Felomina, Consolacion, San Carlos, and Buenavista. 
The conversion will greatly improve the economic and social living conditions of the 
communities traversed by said road as this will be used to transport agricultural 
products. Moreover, the national road will be used to reach more various tourist 
attractions and destinations.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
