EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Philippine Constitution, under Article XIII, Section 11 provides that, 
"The State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health 
development which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social 
services available to all the people at affordable cost xxx."
The people of the 2nd district of Cagayan de Oro City still have to travel to go 
the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) since they cannot afford to go to 
private hospitals nearby their barangay. This is very disadvantageous to the people 
especially in times of medical emergencies. Moreover, NMMC already caters patients 
beyond its capacity. It is therefore imperative to establish a public hospital strategically 
located in the 2nd district of Cagayan de Oro to relieve the congestion.
Hence, this bill seeks to establish a satellite hospital in the 2nd District of 
Cagayan de Oro City to be located at Barangay Tablon, the center of the district. This 
measure seeks to conform with the policy of the State to provide the Filipino people 
with quality and efficient health care services.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly
sought.
