AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD WHICH STARTS AT THE
BOUNDARY OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF TINOC IN THE PROVINCE
OF IFUGAO, TRAVERSES THE MUNICIPALITIES OF KAYAPA AND

AMBAGUIO IN THE PROVINCE OF NUEVA VIZCAYA, AND ENDS AT
THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYOMBONG IN THE PROVINCE OF NUEVA
VIZCAYA INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREOF.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The municipalitiy of Tinoc in the province of Ifugao located at the
Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) is primarily a vegetable producing
area. In fact, the volume of vegetables produced in this municipality are
first class vegetables delivered and sold to vegetable traders in the province
of Nueva Vizcaya in Region 2. The vegetable production of the municipality
of Tinoc would easily suffice the demands of many consumers in the
province of Nueva Vizcaya.

It is a sad fact that during the rainy season, the vegetable farmers of
the municipality of Tinoc, Ifugao find it very hard or almost impossible to
transport their harvests and produces to the province of Nueva Vizcaya in
long periods of time until the roads are dry and passable resulting to so
much waste of vegetables as their harvests and produces would be molding
and often rotting when the road becomes passable.

The road network herein proposed to be converted into a national
road is strategically located in the areas mainly dedicated to vegetable


production and very vital to accelerate development and increase
agricultural and economic activities essential to support agriculture.

The conversion of the said road will facilitate faster and more efficient
transportation of essential agricultural goods, and the delivery of necessary
agricultural services. It is projected that such road conversion shall promote
livelihood opportunities, encourage competitive flow of investment, and
shall ultimately enhance the economic and social living conditions, not just
of the people farming and living along the roads, but also those in the
arterial roads that are connected to it.

The proposed conversion arises out of extreme necessity and
urgency.

In view of the foregoing premises, immediate enactment of this bill
is earnestly sought.
