HOUSE BILL NO.

introduced by Rep. Winston “Winnie” Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

There is an unwritten law in the conduct of men and women who work in the
government bureaucracy, which though rules may not have been formally laid down,
may just as effectively govern the general state of affairs in relation to the duties and
responsibilities they are expected to perform as civil servants.

Since public employees are expected to manifest proper conduct during office
hours, it is incumbent upon every employee or official to refrain from acts that would
make them susceptible or vulnerable to get out of control. A good example of this is
when there is a prevailing leniency for those who indulge in drinking liquor or other
intoxicating beverage while in the performance of official function.

This act is inimical to civil service in that it tends toypush emplo} or officials

as to

It is prescribed upon every public servant to abifle by proper conduct at all times,
hence this submission effectively now prohibits drinking in government offices or similar

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Quality health care to the people is one of the challenges that the Province of Tawi-Tawi
is facing, Given our geographical location, there is difficulty in the accessibility of health
centers and hospitals in our area. There is a great need of additional health facilities in order to
cater the entire population of the province.

‘The Municipality of Panglima Sugala is one of the biggest municipalities in the Province
of Tawi-Tawi and is formerly the provincial capital, It is a third class island-municipality,
composed of 17 barangays, and situated 18 kilometers from the now Provincial Capital of
Bongao. It takes about 30 minutes travel by land to Bongao and about 45 minutes by motor
launch, a wooden hull boat, According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 33,315 people
in 8,417 households

Currently, there is no hospital in the Municipality of Panglima Sugala which will cater to
the health emergencies and needs of the residents residing therein

This proposed house bill recognizes the need of the Province of Tawi-Tawi for additional
health facilities that will provide quality health service to Tawi-Tawians and is consistent to the
national government's mission of guaranteeing equitable, sustainable and quality health for all
Filipinos, especially to the poor.

Introduced by Honorable ERLPE JOHN “PING” M. AMANTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the existing Land Transportation Office
(LTO) Extension Office in City of Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte into a
regular LTO District Office.

To provide efficient licensing of operators and drivers in our district in
the most convenient way, there is a pressing need for a regular LTO Office in
the City of Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte which will guarantee effective
delivery of services expected to the agency. At present, in as much as our
extension office wants to provide accessible frontline services in a more
efficient manner, the same cannot be done because of the limited personnel,
equipment and funding allocation considering the voluminous applications
accommodated by them.

With the establishment of the regular LTO Office, sufficient number of
permanent personnel, equipment and funding allocation will be provided
that will ensure the realization of the purposes of this Bill.

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

Introduced by HON. FLORENCIO C, GARAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the conversion of the Tabon-Labisma-Lawigan Provincial
Road of the City of Bislig, Province of Surigao del Sur into a national road.

Bislig is a city which holds so much promise. It is a main producer of
agricultural products and aquatic resources, as well as home to several
industries. Infrastructure developments are therefore vital to the progress of
Bislig. If Bislig’s agriculture, trade and industry, commerce, tourism and
education are to flourish, it should have ready access to the world, and vice
versa.

The Tabon-Labisma-Lawigan Provincial Road is a 17 kilometer stretch
linking Bislig City with the rest of the nation. Conversion of this road into a
national road, and making provisions for its periodic repair and maintenance, will
greatly benefit the people of Bislig and the general public.

Considering its national and local importance, the approval of this bill is
earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The Bill seeks to convert the city road, Fortune Avenue, traversing Barangay
Fortune, Barangay Parang and Barangay Marikina Heights in the Second District,
City of Marikina, into a national road.

Roads, enhance economic activities as they promote mobility and
accessibility of the people, thus, opening a horizon of economic possibilities,
business opportunities and better employment, Roads which have been established
need to be maintained and repaired when necessary to assure that their purposes
are fully served.

By converting Fortune Avenue into a national road, it would transfer the
responsibility of the maintenance to the national government through the
Department of Public Works and Highways, thus channeling the resources of the
city government earmarked for the maintenance of the said road to more important
projects and programs of the city government.

Thus, the conversion of the said road would greatly improve the quality of
life of the people in the terms of economic activity, easy accessibility and
convenience by means of good roads, at the same time allowing the city government
to reallocate its funds for the creation of the better projects in furtherance of the
same.

In view thereof, the expedient approval of this bill is strongly recommended.

maintained due to lack of funds.

The unmaintained conditions of these roads contribute to further problems such
as traffic congestion thus hampering business transactions

The bill seeks to convert the Barangay Halang-Real Road in the City of
Calamba, Province of Laguna into a national road.

This ensuing problem will be resolved with this conversion as support will be
available from the national government and through funds allocated for Congressional

INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSWOMAN AURORA ENERIO-CERILLES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is the duty of the State to establish and maintain a system of free public education in
the high school level, to protect and promote the right of citizens to quality education,
and to take appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. This bill seeks to
carry out this duty through the establishment of a National High School in Barangay
Pangpang, Municipality of Lapuyan, Province of Zamboanga del Sur.

A barangay of a fourth-class municipality, Barangay Pangpang has a sizable number of
elementary graduates who are unable to pursue secondary education because of the
location and limited number of high schools in the vicinity. This hinders the residents’
right to accessible education and deprives the barangay the opportunity to develop its
community and improve the quality of the residents’ lives in various aspects —
economic, social, cultural, political, and spiritual.

Economically, education provides citizens the necessary knowledge, skills, and values
that will support the country's economic growth and will make the country progressive
and prosperous. Most importantly, education helps break the vicious cycle of poverty
from one generation to the next.

The establishment of a National High School makes high school education more
accessible to the barangay and would result to more educated Filipinos who would then
have better opportunities to improve their living standards. This bill does not only give
utmost importance to education but also helps in creating economic opportunities and
strengthening our national economy.

I therefore seek the immediate passage of this very important bill

The island and province of Leyte, populated nearly by a million inhabitants, is unfortunately

low, leaving much to be desired, principally owing to the deplorable lack of reliable national road
complex to facilitate the safe and easy transport of people and products to ports and markets in
and out of the area, and its vital access to and linkage with the main highways of the region,

This bill proposes to convert San Jose-Dulag-Camote-Tabontabon provincial road in the
Municipality of Dulag, Province of Leyte into a national road. A design calculated to effect the
purposeful at last of an all weather national road network throughout Leyte, even if maintained
merely as gravel but standard national secondary roads, while at the same time relieving the funds
— starved Provincial Government of the duty it can hardly comply with to repair or to rehabilitate
and to improve and maintain them. Considering the scarce budget resources now available, these
are the only access road in Leyte so far specially chosen for such declaration and conversion, along
the imperative need to serve populated areas and likewise cut through rich, rural agricultural
country, thereby hastening the economic development of those depressed communities.

With the passage of this measure, ensuring as it proposes to achieve not only completion
of such vital infrastructure but also their proper, effective maintenance improvement, the
disappointments, even disillusionment of our people in that part of the country will then be
nothing but a thing of the past. Approval of the bill is therefore earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

To better serve the commuting public and promote safer and orderly vehicular traffic in national
and local roads, the systems and procedures of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) based in the cities
and municipalities must be constantly revisited and upgraded.

Presently, however, the LTO in Sta. Maria, Province of Bulacan caters not only to the licensing
and registration requirements of drivers and owners/operators of public and private vehicles within the
jurisdiction of the Municipality of Sta Maria but also in nearby towns and cities

Over the years this licensing and and registration office has widened its public commitment
necessitating its conversion from an extension office of the LTO to that of a regular district office

During the 15% Congress, this proposed bill was filed in the House of Representatives and was
eventually referred to the Senate Committee on Public Services by the Senate Plenary. Due to time
constraints however, no further action was taken on the bill. This bill is filed for the consideration of

eing administered by the Techni ducation and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) in Barangay Pudi, Municipality of Kasibu, Province of Nueva Vizcaya
to Nueva Vizcaya Polytechnic Institute.

At present, there are two schools bearing the same name of Kasibu National

offers courses such as horticulture, agricultural crops production, animal
production, automotive servicing, food processing, housekeeping, commercial
cooking and training methodologies. This bill seeks to rename the Kasibu National
Agricultural School being administered by TESDA.

Renaming the Kasibu National Agriculture School which is under TESDA
into Nueva Vizcaya Polytechnic Institute will finally settle the confusion arising
from the use of the same names by two different schools in the same barangay and
municipality. Likewise, the proposed change of name will rightfully indicate the
actual curriculum the school is offering. It will also enable students coming from

First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL No, 2465

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

This bill seeks to convert the 4.03-kilometer Roxas-Libas Road in Roxas City, Province of
Capiz into a National Road.

This road network connects the coastal barangays of Libas and Dayao in Roxas City, Capiz.
‘These barangays are home to marine ponds and rich deep-sea fishing grounds of the city. It is
also where the Libas Fishing Port of the City of Roxas is located, Moreover, Barangay Libas
is being developed as the trading center and economic zone of Roxas City, Capiz. Thus, the
improvement and proper maintenance of this road artery is imperative to bring further
development to the area

While the City Government of Roxas recognizes its vital role in facilitating trades and
investments and ushering further development in the area, it does not have enough
capabilities to properly maintain its road networks. Upon the conversion of Roxas-Libas
Road into a National Road, this road would be perpendicularly connected to Amaldo Blvd., a
National Road. ‘The conversion of the said road is highly imperative to ensure its proper
maintenance given the availability of equipment and capability of the national government to
provide ready funds for the purpose.

This bill was filed during the Fifteenth Congress and was subsequently approved on third
reading by the House of Representatives; however, the submission of appropriate
requirements relative {0 this bill was not completed due to the dearth of time; hence, its
approval was averted. Thus, the refilling of this bill is needed and its immediate approval is
earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In a country where people are highly educated, development is not
difficult to attain, It is therefore rewarding for a state to invest in the higher
education of its citizens for its development to be easily driven.

treasures that an individual can have for life. The support of the state for
college education will highly benefit the state and its populace.

“Study now, pay later’ program is a significant form of support for
college education of the youth. A permanent program for this purpose will
surely yield benefits for the nation in the coming years.

HOUSE BILL NO. __ 2175

Introduced by Honorable Mark Llandro L. Mendoza

This bill seeks to convert the Iban ~ Lipa Provincial Road, traversing the Manila-
Batangas Road, Poblacion of Lipa City Junction passing Sampaguita-Calamias to
Talaibon Junction of Batangas-Quezon Road at Ibaan, Batangas, into a National Road.
The said road has a total length of 15.00 kilometers.

Roads are indispensable arteries in people’s travel as well as in the transport and
exchange of goods for commerce and trade. They are indisputably important especially to
the populace of the towns they traverse. These roads bring about more intensified
commercial transactions among different parties in the economy, and therefore play a key
role in the growth of national economy.

Given the bill’s very apparent local and national significance, approval thereof is
urgently and strongly urged

HOUSE BILL No__2157

Introduced by: HON. MAGNOLIA C. ANTONINO-NADRES

EXPLANATORORY NOTE

The Fourth (4"") Congressional District of Nueva Ecija lies at the southernmost part of the
province approximately ninety-five (95) kilometers northeast of Metro Manila. This district is
mainly composed of agricultural areas that depend primarily on the quality of roads in the
transportation and merchandise of rice, corn, vegetables and other farm products for commercial
and basic consumption.

The Jaen-San Antonio-Zaragoza Road is a provincial road that is directly linked to several farm
to market roads of barangays within the municipalities of Jaen and San Antonio. As such, it plays
a very crucial role in the flow of agricultural products, raw materials, fertilizers and other farm
inputs during both planting and harvest seasons, It also provides access in the delivery of basic
social and health care services to the people in the area.

However, due to lack of funds for the repair and maintenance of provincial roads by the local
government, the Jaen-San Antonio-Zaragoza road has continued to deteriorate over the years.
This added a heavy toll on the commuters as well as in the transportation cost of commercial
goods that ultimately led to a decrease in revenues and income for the residents of that area as
well as other adjacent municipalities. It has also lost its advantage of providing a safe alternative
route to the progressive towns of Fort Magsaysay where major commercial and public
establishments are located to serve the people.

‘Thus being a definitive factor in progress, the Jaen-San Antonio-Zaragoza road must be properly
maintained and developed in order to provide a stable infrastructure for income generating
activities, livelihood and employment in the countryside. This can be accomplished with the
swift passage of this bill which seeks to convert the Jaen-San Antonio-Zaragoza road into a
national road and thereby transfer its inventory and care to the national government where funds
can readily be accessed for its maintenance, repair and eventual improvement.

15' District, Surigao del Norte (Siargao Island)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill, which was approved by the House Committee on Public
Works and Highways of the 15 Congress and re-filed in the present
Congress, seeks to convert the JUNCTION NUEVA ESTRELLA - HONRADO -
ATOYAY - SALUG ROAD, in the Municipality of Socorro in the First District
of the Province of Surigao del Norte, presently classified as a Provincial
Road, into a National Road.

The JUNCTION NUEVA ESTRELLA - HONRADO - ATOYAY - SALUG
ROAD is at present a provincial road network passable by public utility
vehicles and a very vital link to the economic and social activities of the
island. This is the only road network that provides tourists access to the
tourist destinations of the area. Hence, in order to boost the tourism and
economic development of the area, conversion of this road to a
national road is required.

The existing road is in much need of repairs because the provincial
government cannot provide the necessary funds for its maintenance.

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