EXPLANATORY NOTE
On
3
August
1988,
The
Family
Code
of
the
Philippines
was
implemented and has stated that the maximum value of the family home
exempt from execution, forced sale or attachment is P200,000.00 in the
rural areas and P300,000.00 in the urban areas.
It has been three decades since the effectivity of the Family Code, and
such amounts have been rendered unrealistic by the current real estate
prices. Due to the need to adjust the value of the family home exempt from
such impositions in conformity with the changing times, this bill seeks to
augment the maximum amount of the family home exempt from execution,
forced sale or attachment and thereby safeguard a very basic right
under
the law.
In view of the foregoing, the early passage of this bill is earnestly
requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

House

This bill seeks to establish a fish port in Barangay Cugman in the 2" District of Cagayan de
Oro City.

There is a need for this proposed fish port because majority of the residents of the barangay
are small-time fisher folks who mainly rely on fish and marine resources for their livelihood
and daily subsistence. It will provide an avenue for trade and give these fisherfolk access to
consumers and vice versa. It will also be a place for the fishermen to refuel, resupply, and dry-
dock their small fishing vessels.

Once established, the fish port facilities will surely uplift the livelihood of fishermen and fish
workers in the barangay and will be a big step in modernizing the fisheries sector which will
lead to sustainable fishing and conservation of fishing grounds.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this measure is earnestly requested

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Fishing is the main livelihood in the shores of the province of Albay and there is an 
evident need to develop the municipality’s fishing ports to aid in the productivity of our 
fisherfolks. A good fish port is needed that will serve as the main distribution center for 
the nearby areas as well as for distant markets.  
The Philippine Institute for Development Studies of fishing ports in the country 
suggests that the national government should prioritize the building of new ports in 
municipalities that have no ports yet. This bill proposes the establishment of a fish port 
in Pasacao in the province of Camarines Sur. Further, this bill proposes to implement 
a training and phasing-in program for local government personnel in order to uphold 
proper environment management. 
The approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being,” Article

establish a national high school in Barangay Maputi, Municipality of Banaybanay,
Province of Davao Oriental is a vital step toward this direction

A similar version of this bill, which was drafted in response to the petition
filed by the citizens of Barangay Maputi, was previously filed by Hon. Joel Mayo Z

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Department of Education (DepEd) recently included in its strategic goals the
“expansion of access and inclusion in basic education.” In line with this thrust, the DepEd
institutionalized the Special Education (SPED) Program - a curriculum that caters
specifically to learners who are visually or hearing impaired, orthopedically
handicapped, have learning disabilities, suffer speech impediments, or are afflicted with
autism, ADHD and other similar medical conditions. Students in the SPED program are
placed in an educational environment with facilities suited to their abilities and guided
by sufficient faculty and staff trained to educate special learners.

At present, there are only three (3) SPED Centers in the Schools Division of the
City of Mat, Davao Oriental. Due to the distance and financial constraints brought about
by high transportation costs, personal and safety expenses, and other necessary logistical
costs, these centers are inaccessible to special learners residing in the farther areas of the
district including Dahican, Dawan, Macangao, Banaybanay, Tibanban and Luzon.

This bill is being filed in response to the petition filed by the residents of the
Municipality of Banaybanay for the establishment of a SPED Center within their
ary to be called the Banaybanay Central Elementary School SPED Center.

Support for this bill is earnestly sought.

placed in an educational environment with facilities suited to their abilities and guided

House Bill No. 2444
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a fish port in Barangay Lapasan in the 2 District of Cagayan de
Ore City.

There is a need for this proposed fish port because majority of the residents of the barangay
are small-time fisher folks who mainly rely on fish and marine resources for their livelihood
and daily subsistence. It will provide an avenue for trade and give these fisherfolk access to
consumers and vice versa. It will also be a place for the fishermen to refuel, resupply, and dry-
dock their small fishing vessels.

Once established, the fish port facilities will surely uplift the livelihood of fishermen and fish
workers in the barangay and will be a big step in modernizing the fisheries sector which will
lead to sustainable fishing and conservation of fishing grounds.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this measure is earnestly requested

the success of the same carries with it the inevitable effects of progress such as traffic.

With the ongoing construction of the MRT-7 and one of its stations to be built in San

congestion will likely be a problem except advance planning and measures will be undertaken
as early as possible.

‘As such, the introduction of the attached bill not only addresses the possible future
implications of progress due to happen in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan but will also result to a
smooth flow of the influx of transportation coming in and out of the City.

Thus. the approval and passage of this bill is being eamestly sought.
