HOUSE BILL NO. ___ 
Introduced by Rep. WOWO FORTES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road is 30.90-kilometer road that 
traverses the coastal municipalities of Bulusan, Sta. Magdalena and Matnog in the 
Second District of Sorsogon. Serving as one of the most significant access roads in 
the province, the Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road is key to the tourism sector 
of Sorsogon, highlighting the aforementioned municipalities’ breathtaking scenery and 
pristine beaches, accessible to both locals and tourists alike. Aside from its value in 
the tourism industry, the road enables accessibility across the three municipalities, 
providing convenience in the delivery of necessary services for the constituents of 
Sorsogon. 
Currently, the Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road is still categorized as a 
local road. Hence, its maintenance falls under the responsibility of the Provincial 
Government of Sorsogon. However, as a preeminent source of economic activity 
through its use as a main thoroughfare and tourist destination, its potential is 
underutilized due to the limitations of the local government for its maintenance and 
rehabilitation. 
This bill, therefore, seeks to convert the 30.90-kilometer Bulusan-Sta. 
Magdalena-Matnog Road into a National Road. The conversion would ensure proper 
and efficient maintenance by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), 
aiming to fully maximize its potential, paving the way for more prosperous economic 
activities in the area. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
