HOUSE BILL NO. ______
Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE CARDEMA 
(Duterte Youth Party-List) 
EXPLANATION NOTE 
During the Aquino Administration, on December 10, 1987, the 
government enacted Republic Act No. 6639 renaming the Manila 
International Airport (MIA) as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport 
(NAIA) in connection with an Anti-Marcos Leader, Ninoy Aquino, late 
husband of the then incumbent Philippine President, Corazon C. Aquino. 
The name of the international gateway of the country should have not 
been politicized in the first place. Our country is named the Philippines and 
our capital is named Manila, therefore the country’s international gateway 
to the world must be known as the MANILA INTERNATIONAL AIPORT as a 
sense of pride for our country’s capital and for foreigners to easily locate 
our main gateway, when travelling to our country and across the world. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is sought.

HOUSE BILL NO. _______ 
Introduced by HON. JOY MYRA S. TAMBUNTING 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The right of the people to elect their leaders is a right afforded to them by the Constitution. It is 
the cornerstone of our democracy. It is the policy of government to encourage as many Filipino 
citizens to vote as possible.  
The quarantine restrictions in the past 18 months have severely limited the ability of the Filipino 
people to register in preparation for the upcoming elections. Just for the year 2021, we have 
reverted to an Enhanced Community Quarantine restriction twice—making it more difficult for the 
people to register. Considering the limited number of people COMELEC Offices and satellite 
registration sites could accommodate, millions of Filipinos are now in danger of being unable to 
exercise their right to suffrage if the deadline for registration of voters is not extended. Congress 
must act now to ensure every eligible Filipino who wants to register and vote can do so. 
In this regard, this measure proposes to extend the registration of voters for the 2022 National 
and Local Elections until 31 October 2021 to accommodate the registration of more Filipinos who 
want to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections.  
On behalf of the people of Parañaque City’s Second District, and for the common good of the 
Filipino people, the approval of the said measure is earnestly sought.

AN ACT EXTENDING THE REGISTRATION OF VOTERS FOR THE 2022 NATIONAL 
AND LOCAL ELECTIONS 
There is around five-and-a-half-month suspension (approximately 28.3% of the entire 
registration period) of voter registration across the country and, after that, monthlong 
suspensions in areas under ECQ and MECQ brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
This bill proposes to extend the deadline of  voter registration on a later date but before 
January 9, 2022 in order to prevent voter disenfranchisement. The pandemic is an 
extraordinary circumstance that should be taken into consideration. Through this bill, we 
will uphold our citizens’ constitutional right to vote. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the coastal road from Crossing Tuganay, Municipality of Carmen to 
Panabo City, Province of Davao del Norte into a national road in preparation for the upcoming 
establishment and full operation of a port in this municipality. 
This coastal road passes through Barangay Taba where the port is soon to be situated so its 
conversion into a national road could possibly invite more investors to do business in the area, 
which would be advantageous to the local government unit in terms of additional revenues 
for the local coffers. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Representatives Lord Allan Jay Q. Velasco, Ferdinand Martin G.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The conduct of regular elections are crucial events in the life of a democratic 
nation. At present, we are less than three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the 2022 
National Elections, where every qualified Filipino will be able to cast a ballot and vote 
for the next leaders of our country. As a basic precept of democracy, each of our 
kababayans must be given the utmost and widest opportunity to participate in the 
electoral process. 
For all intents and purposes, registration of new voters would have been an 
ordinary concern. But we are living under extraordinary circumstances. The public 
health crisis has been prolonged and many prospective voters have been forced to 
delay their registration this year and in 2020.  
At a time of uncertainty, each and every office of the government is tasked to 
be flexible and alert. In order to avoid massive voter disenfranchisement, the 
Commission on Elections must extend the period for voter registration until 31 
October 2021. This is also to give leeway to Filipinos whose registration were delayed 
because of the prevailing circumstances. 
In view of the foregoing, the urgent passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Yufeng Lyu is a Chinese Citizen from Hu Bei province of China, who together 
with his family, have been residing in the Philippines since early 2010. In that year, he 
was hired and given a supervisorial position of a company owned by his Filipino-Chinese 
friends. Mr. Lyu eventually became the General Manager of Xingwang Limited 
Corporation, a Philippine corporation engaged in the construction of condominiums and 
town houses for the general public at a very reasonable price. 
 Throughout those years, Mr. Lyu and his family have built good relationships 
with their Filipino partners in the industry as well as the staffs they employed. The 
company has also grown since then. With the success of their business activities and with 
the strength of their relationships with the locals, Mr. Lyu now wishes to become a 
FIlipino citizen and no longer wishes to reside anywhere else. 
In view of Mr. Lyu’s wish to become a Filipino Citizen, approval of this bill is

RENAMING THE CENTRAL BICOL STATE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE 
(CBSUA) IN THE PROVINCE OF CAMARINES SUR TO THE GOV. LUIS R. 
VILLAFUERTE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE 
The conversion of the Camarines Sur State Agricultural College into the Central Bicol 
University of Agriculture (CBSUA) in 2009 allowed the said academic institution to 
provide the necessary instructional and research leadership in agricultural, 
environmental and technological development in the Bicol Region.  
In the 14th Congress, then Congressman Luis R. Villafuerte filed House Bill 4360, 
fervently advocated and fought for the Central Bicol University of Agriculture until its 
enactment into law as Republic Act 9717. The institution’s conversion into a university 
positioned it to provide advanced instruction and research in agriculture and allied 
technological sciences including education, arts and related sciences.  
Luis R. Villafuerte is Camarines Sur’s longest serving governor. He served three terms in 
the House of Representatives as one of its most prolific and passionate legislators. His 
unrelenting dedication in championing the agriculture and education sector is shown in 
his active participation as CBSUA’s Board Member until his demise on 08 September 
2021. This proposed measure’s simple intention is to honor his memory and advocacy 
by renaming the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture to the Gov. Luis R. 
Villafuerte University of Agriculture.    
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
‘Section 67 of the Omnibus Election Code provides that:

Sec. 67. Candidates holding elective office. - Any elective official,
whether national or local, running for any office other than the one
which he is holding in a permanent capacity, except for President
and Vice-President, shall be considered ipso facto resigned from
his office upon the filing of his certificate of candidacy.

This provision was repealed by Republic Act No. 9006 otherwise known as the "Fair Election
Act’. Further, the Supreme Court has already ruled and upheld the doctrine it laid down in
Farifias vs. Executive Secretary (G.R. No. 147387, 10 December 2003) that, “substantial
distinctions clearly exist between elective officials and appointive officials’ to warrant a
different treatment between the two.

With this, the rule now is that appointive government officials who file their Certificates of
Candidacy are deemed resigned while elective officials who file their Certificates of Candidacy
are not.

However, itis high time to reinstate the repealed provision on elective officials being deemed
resigned once they file their Certificates of Candidacy, but only if they file for another position
different from the ones they are currently holding. This would force aspirants to take running
for higher office seriously and to stop manipulating and mocking the electoral process. It would
also make more people believe in the integrity of our elections.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is eamestly requested.

Introduced by Rep. Cyrille “Beng” F. Abueg-Zaldivar 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This proposed measure seeks to create a Land Transportation Office (LTO) 
extension office in the Municipality of Rizal, Province of Palawan. The LTO Extension 
Office in Rizal shall be under the supervision of the LTO Palawan District Office. Rizal is 
the largest municipality in the province of Palawan and is located approximately 207 
kilometers southwest of Puerto Princesa City. It requires around four to five hours 
(4-5 hours) travel by land.  
Moreover, considering the long distance that needs to be traveled by the 
Palaweños in order to secure a driver’s license and have their vehicles registered is not a 
walk in the park. Most of the applicants come from municipalities situated far from the 
city.  For instance, the distance between Balabac, the farthest municipality in Southern 
Palawan, and Puerto Princesa City is approximately 357.2 kilometers which requires 
approximately 12 hours of non-stop travel.  
There is a huge necessity to create an LTO extension office in the municipality of 
Rizal for the better performance and delivery of much needed LTO services to the public. 
It would lessen the burden of the current LTO District Office and at the same time help 
the Palaweños through an easier access to a viable means of securing land transport 
permits and licenses. 
In order to bring LTO services closer to the Palaweños and ensure a more efficient 
and effective delivery of the same, the establishment of an LTO extension office in the 
municipality of Rizal is recommended. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly requested.

EXTENDING THE REGISTRATION OF VOTERS FOR THE 
2022 NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Regular elections are one the crucial conditions and foundations of 
democracy. Pursuant to its mandate under Section 8 of Republic Act No. 8189 
or the “Voter’s Registration Act of 1996”, the Commission on Elections 
(COMELEC) promulgated COMELEC Resolution No. 10549 on 18 July 2019 
and COMELEC Resolution No. 10635 on 10 January 2020, setting the voter 
registration for the May 2022 National and Local Elections from 20 January 
2020 until 30 September 2021. 
However, given the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic, the 
COMELEC had to suspend voter registration in many areas under enhanced 
community quarantine (ECQ) and modified enhanced community quarantine 
(MECQ) for several times. Thus, it is necessary to extend the voters 
registration, in order to provide enough opportunities for unregistered 
Filipinos of voting age to register, and eventually exercise their constitutional 
right to suffrage. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly 
sought.

House Bill No. ________ 
Introduced by Representative PAOLO Z. DUTERTE 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
By virtue of Republic Act 9976 or the Technical Education and Skills Development 
Act of 1994, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) was 
created to manage and supervise technical education and skills development in the 
country. Its mission is to set direction, promulgate relevant standards, and implement 
programs geared towards a quality-assured and inclusive technical education and 
skills development and certification system. 
As of December 2021, Davao City has 77 registered Private Technical 
Vocational Institutions (TVIs), 3 Public TESDA Training Institutions (TTIs), and 327 
accredited Assessment Centers (ACs) (By Qualification). In the present, the TESDA 
Provincial Office of Davao del Sur also covers Davao City, which is one with the 
largest scope in terms of reaching out the Technical Vocational Education and 
Training (TVET) programs and services, among of the Provincial Offices in Region XI. 
These TVIs, TTIs, and ACs essentially need to be monitored by the Provincial 
Office and can hardly do it without the help of other TESDA-XI Operating Units. To 
address this, this bill seeks to establish a separate TESDA District Office in Davao City 
which shall provide better and more focused service both in the Province of Davao 
del Sur and in the City of Davao.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

often far locations, tending to the wounded or ill becomes difficult. And for those not
0 fortunate, a high price is paid.

To ensure the preservation of life and the avoidance of unfortunate but otherwise
preventable situations, there is a need for the establishment of a hospital-grade clinic

CONVERTING THE PROVINCIAL ROADS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF 
CAMALIG, PROVINCE OF ALBAY, PARTICULARLY 
COMUN-INARADO JUNCTION - TAGAYTAY - BARIW - PALANOG –

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the provincial roads connecting the Barangays of Tagaytay, Bariw, 
Palanog and Mauraro in the Municipality of Camalig, in the Province of Albay, into a National 
Road. 
The road is part of the network of arterial thoroughfares that feed into the Bicol International 
Airport and its environs. For this reason, its proper maintenance as a national road is critical to 
ensuring that the free flow of goods and of people in the area is unimpeded. 
The road is also part of the Guinobatan-Camalig-Daraga-Legazpi (GUICADALE) Economic 
Township Program, initially a State-led humanitarian intervention to move people from harm’s 
way in risk areas to safer and higher grounds free from lahar. 
GUICADALE is now an economic development platform to transform previously 
underdeveloped 64,000 hectares of these jurisdictions into a sprawling business boom center. 
As such, these roads are also crucial to fulfilling the countryside development objectives 
embodied in Executive Order No. 70, which espouses an all-of-government, development-
centric approach to countering local armed insurgency. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Article XIV, Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution provides that the State 
shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education at all levels 
and shall take necessary and appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. 
Likewise, Section 2 of the Constitution mandates the State to establish and maintain 
a system of free education in the elementary and high school levels. 
Sacol Island, which is located in Zamboanga City, has four (4) barangays, 
namely: (1) Barangay Landang Laum; (2) Barangay Landang Gua; (3) Barangay 
Busay; and (4) Barangay Pasilmanta.  
This bill proposes to create the Sacol Island National High School in 
Barangay Landang Gua, Zamboanga City. The establishment of the Sacol Island 
National High School will benefit the elementary graduates from Barangays Busay, 
Landang Gua, Landang Laum, Pasilmanta and Pangapuyan in the Second District of 
Zamboanga City. In order to pursue secondary education, these students travel to 
the nearest existing high school in Barangays Arena Blanco, Talabaan and 
Mampang.  
This measure aims to provide Zamboangueños access to quality education 
and, at the same time, decongest the overpopulated national high schools in the 
abovementioned barangays.  
In view of the foregoing reasons, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Nagsipit Falls has become a famous tourist destination located in Barangay 
Inlagadian despite being the most remote barangay in the Municipality of Casiguran, 
Sorsogon.  
However, the road network leading to the waterfalls remains classified as a 
local road maintained and rehabilitated by the local government unit of the Province 
of Sorsogon. The limited resources of the provincial government hinder it from 
sufficiently allocating annually what this vital road network actually needs for its 
upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Brgy. Escuala 
to Brgy. Inlagadian in the Municipality of Casiguran from being a Provincial Road 
into a National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department 
of Public Works and Highways with adequate funding from the national government. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
