Introduced by HON. ELMER E. PANOTES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the provincial road which commences at the San Lorenzo
Ruiz Junction of the Maharlika Highway in Barangay Magang, Municipality of Daet, directly
traversing Barangay Calasgasan, Municipality of Daet, to Barangays Daculangbolo,
Dagotdotan, Mampurog, Matacong and San Isidro, all in the Municipality of San Lorenzo
Ruiz, Province of Camarines Norte, into a national secondary road. This road is
strategically located as it leads to Quirino Highway up to the Camarines Norte-Camarines
Sur boundary.

The road from San Lorenzo Ruiz Junction of the Maharlika Highway in Barangay
Magang, Municipality of Daet, directly traversing Barangay Calasgasan, Municipality of
Daet, to Barangays Daculangbolo, Dagotdotan, Mampurog, Matacong and San Isidro, all
in the Municipality of San Lorenzo Ruiz, is practically a gravel roadway starting from
Barangay Daculangbolo all the way to Barangay San Isidro. This road leads to tourist
destinations like Mampurog River, Pineapple Island Resort and Little Tagaytay which have
been certified by the Dept. of Tourism as included in the Central Tourism Cluster Projects.
If implemented, the road will play a vital role in the development of the traversed
municipalities and will generate economic activity, enhance tourism, increase livelihood,
and ease insurgency.

The existing road is in much needed repair because the provincial government
cannot provide the necessary funds for its maintenance

This bill was first filed in the 15" Congress, was approved in both houses but
eventually vetoed by the President due to technicalities. So, after thorough review and
technical modifications, this bill is being re-filed for the same worthy purpose it will serve to
the 2" District of Camarines Norte.

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