HOUSE BILL no3278

Introduced by Representative Francisco T. Matugas

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the circumferential roads in the island barangays of the
Municipality of Dapa, Surigao del Norte into national roads.

Siargao Island is one of the prime tourism destinations in the country. The island has
seen a consistent rise in both domestic and foreign tourist arrivals, contributing
significantly to the local and national economy.

While Siargao is already renowned for surfing and island-hopping, there are still parts
of the island that have potential for tourism growth and waiting to be discovered.
These include the island barangays of the Municipality of Dapa — Bagakay, Cabawa,
Dagohoy, Montserrat, San Miguel, Santa Filomena, Consolacion, San Carlos, and
Buenavista. The beaches of Barangays Union, Dagohoy and Corregidor, for example,
are some of the best Siargao has to offer. Also included in the tourism attractions are
the almost perfect cone mountains of Alimbungog and mini-spring in Barangay
Consolacion and mini-water falls in Barangays Bagakay and Sta. Felomina.

‘There is therefore, an urgent need to upgrade and maintain the circumferential roads
in these barangays to support tourism growth and ensure safe, reliable, and efficient
mobility for residents and visitors.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this ,casut is earnestly sought.
