EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This Bill seeks to establish a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) District
Office in the City of Cabadbaran, Province of Agusan del Norte.

The National Bureau of Investigation is maintaining only one office in the
whole Caraga Region which also serves as its Regional Office. Aside from its regular
function of rendering technical assistance for the efficient detection and
investigation of crimes and the coordination with national and local law
enforcement agencies for the maintenance of peace and order, one of the basic and
frontline services that the NBI is serving directly its clientele is the issuance and
renewal of NBI Clearance which most people applying for domestic and overseas
employment needed for their successful employment. However, with the existing
organizational set up of the Bureau with only one office catering entire Caraga
Region, it is highly necessary for the NBI to start establishing district or satellite
offices within the region to maintain the efficient and responsive service of the
Bureau to the people.

‘The City of Cabadbaran, the capital city of the province of Agusan del Norte
and the seat of the provincial government, is a strategic location for the
establishment of national government offices as it will not only serve the populace
‘of Agusan del Norte but also the people of nearby provinces of Surigao del Norte
and Surigao del Sur.

With the establishment of a NBI District Office in the City of Cabadbaran,
Agusanons and Surigaonons need not to go to NBI Regional Office in Butuan City
just to secure or renew NBI Clearance. Also, it is anticipated to decongest the bulk
of work that the Regional Office is undertaking, thus, better and quality service will
be provided.

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