HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Rep. Precious Hipolito Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Holy Scriptures give us profound wisdom concerning covetousness and avarice —
elements that constitute gambling: "And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of
covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he
possesses.” (Luke 12:15 (NKJV). “He who loves money will not be satisfied with
money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes:
5:19 (NASB))

Moreover, any gambling activity is counterproductive and engenders fatalistic attitude
among participants. It promotes greed and the wanton desire to covet inordinate and
undeserved wealth. More particularly, one entering a gambling institution presupposes
his intent to idle away precious time and take on his fortune. He would spend countless
hours trying to recoup his loss until all of his money is all gone. For the most part,
people taking part in gambling activities incur bane more than boon. They lose a great
deal of money and opportunity costs. Had they spent their time on some other gainful,
honorable activities, they would have certainly been more productive.

It is upon this premise that this humble measure contemplates on prohibiting all
government officials, employees from playing in gambling institutions. It would be in the
best interest of these personnel to steer clear from gambling centers and keep them
from wasting away their hard-earned money. They also have to set good examples in
the society by leading upright and honorable lives. Engaging in gambling activities
strains one’s moral values and begs the question of his worthiness as a public servant.

The immediate passage of this bill is earnestly soug

HOUSE BILL No. 2919

introduced by Rep. Precious Hipolito Castelo

Lotto draws gain for government on one end and the betting universe on the other —
if won — awesome amounts of money.

‘And the winner takes home such bagful of money that is sure to better his lot, his
extended family, his close relatives and associates. In some sense, the winner also
shares the blessings with others but largely, just a tiny circle of private individuals
known only to him.

This bill aims to institutionalize this mode of sharing the blessings gained by, for
example, a single winner to a lotto pot or grand draw that could reach as high as near
the billion mark.

The bill finds it proper, even reasonable to tax at least twenty percent of these lotto
winnings or earnings in favor of ten percent for education and ten percent for housing
as the appropriate agencies of government may so implement.

Sometimes, we learned lessons from the past such as the case of one grand draw
winner whose lotto winnings have been taxed in favor of foreign government of which
he is a citizen, hence this bill.

The immediate passage of this proposed measure is mast earnestly sought.

that everything beyond this shall be regulated or controlled and may subject
the employee to disciplinary action by his immediate superior or head of

Introduced by Rep. Precious Hipolito Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

't is a matter of sound government policy to grant an increase or corresponding
adjustment in retirement pay for all civilian government employees who have faithfully
rendered services to the government especially those who have completed at least
twenty (20) years of public service.

Apparently, whenever initiatives are carried out to effect increase in salaries and
allowances and other benefits for all government employees and personnel, it is the
retirement pay of those who have served in government for many years which is not
given equal attention. Hence, this sector of civil servants is not benefitted and instead
disadvantaged since the equity they deserve and continue to deserve is taken for
granted. Furthermore, they are subjected to the costs of standard of living in their
retired status such as but not limited to medicines, food, subsistence, and other
emerging needs.

Thus, it is only fitting that the retirement pay of all civilian government employees or
personnel to be granted an increase or adjustment so they can cope with inflation, the
purchasing power of the peso, as well as to benefit fairly from the social equity they
rightfully deserve as those who have served in public service for many years

Introduced by Re sp. Abdullah Dimaporo and Rep. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Inudaran I (one),
Municipality of Sapad, Lanao del Norte to be known as the Inudaran I (one) National High
School.

Promoting the right to quality education at all levels is one of the major mandates of
the 1987 Constitution, Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides that:

“The State shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality
education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.”

Situated in the outlying area of the Municipality of Sapad, the nearest high school is
approximately ten kilometers away from Inudaran I (one). The establishment of a national
high school within the barangay will help decongest other schools in nearby barangays and
more importantly, it will provide better access and opportunity for the students in the area to
secure high school education by reducing the distance, time and transportation expenses for
our constituents.

Consistent with the aforementioned Constitutional provision and in view of the ever-
increasing need for a complete, adequate and integrated system of education, it is imperative
to establish and maintain effective school facilities which will give the youth in the locality
an opportunity to an improved life through meaningful and accessible education,

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

House Bill No. 2796
EXPLANATORY NOTE

According to the official website of Cagayan de Oro City, the total road length in the
city is 520 kilometers, while there are 29, 931 registered vehicles. This amounts to around
57.56 vehicles per kilometer. This shows that the city has a very high vehicle volume which
leads to horrible traffic jams with some people even reporting that a driver could get stuck in
traffic for 10-15 minutes without moving. And with the current growth that the city is
experiencing, the reputation it is getting as a prime tourist destination and it being
considered as the gateway to Northern Mindanao. it is guaranteed that these numbers would
also rise leading to the traffic situation getting worse.

As such, there is a need to improve the current conditions of the roads and bridges in
the City. One such bridge that needs to be improved is the Ysalina Bridge, the bridge that
connects the 1™ district to the 2” district of Cagayan de Oro. The Ysalina Bridge is currently
a two-lane bridge which is not sufficient anymore to the number of vehicles that pass thru it.
The bridge is currently very narrow which causes a bottle-neck that leads to traffic build-up
Therefore, the expansion of the bridge from two lanes to fours lanes is very much needed.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Quezon City General Hospital had recently gone through a
redevelopment program for the purpose of modernizing its healthcare
facilities. Through the years, this five-storey, 250 bed capacity tertiary
hospital has evolved into a modern hospital, achieving Level III Status as
Tertiary Hospital, the highest level license that can be conferred to a hospital
by the Department of Health.

Currently, the hospital boasts its own 4D ultrasound, colposcope with
LEEP, ECG machines, computerized radiography and digital fluoroscopy
system, and 64-Slice Computerized Tomography Scanner (CT scan). It also
has five operating suites, one operating room suite with a deck view used by
residents and nurses undergoing training, eight-bed Service Case and six-bed
Pay Medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) complete with patients' monitor and a
central monitor, and 10-bed Post Anesthesia Care Unit and four-bed Surgical
Intensive Care Unit, amongst others.

With the volition of the Quezon City government, the Quezon City
General Hospital is now equipped with modern and state of the art medical
facilities that offer nothing but high standards of comfort and effective
healthcare to its patients. Its accomplishments and modern medical facilities
are enough basis to change its name to “Quezon City General Hospital and
Medical Center” as it best encapsulates the hospital’s enhanced status.

In view of the foregoing, support on this bill is earnestly sought.

HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Rep. Dale “Along” R. Malapitan

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The bill seeks to convert the Langit Road, located in Brgy. Bagong Silang,
in the 1* District of Caloocan City into a national road.

Based on the of 2007 National Statistics Office census, Bagong Silang has
a population of 221,874 and it is the most populous barangay, not only in
Caloocan City, but in the whole Philippines. This is mainly due to the fact, that
it is the site of a major resettlement of informal settlers in Metro Manila.

Once the Langit Road is converted into a national road, the necessary
funds from the national government will be infused for the maintenance of said
road into an A-1 condition. This will facilitate smooth traffic to and from the
surrounding areas and busy districts of Caloocan and Quezon City where large
shopping malls are located.

‘The maintenance of roads into good condition will attract more businesses
to open in the area, and ultimately giving the residents of the 1* District of
Caloocan City more opportunities for employment.

Hence, approval of the attached measure is earnestly sought.

PROVIDING FOR THE CONVERSION OF DAN

ROADAND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the city road of the Dan Kariton
Road, Dalandanan, in the City of Valenzuela, Metro Manila into a
national road.

In its current state, existing roadway is heavily traversed by
motorists from local residents and those from nearby municipalities.
In our collective desire to provide for the safety and convenience of our
constituents who ply this route, it is submitted that as to the
maintenance of this road, the national government is better equipped
to handle. Conversion of this road into a national road would also
allow its development to be in line with the national infrastructure
plan which as it stands is highly crucial in resolving the traffic crisis
that is plaguing Metro Manila.

It is in this light that the early approval of this bill is earnestly
sought.

Portions of the road which lead to a tourist site, the FS Catanico Falls, are presently
in poor condition and in dire need of repair and rehabilitation. City funds are not available for
its maintenance and/or upgrading. Hence, the need to tap other sources. With its
improvement, easier access to both points would be ensured and the potentials for tourism,
commercial and industrial development would be realized.

With its conversion into a national road, it would receive the much needed funding
and assistance it deserves.

Passage of this measure is eamestly requested

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the local road stretching from Barangay Camingawan
and Barangay Carolan in the City of Kabankalan in Negros Occidental and connecting it
with the Municipality of Tayasan, Negros Oriental, into a National Road.

Serving as a transportation as well as commercial link between Negros
Occidental and Negros Oriental, the said road has been deluged with numerous
vehicles daily, contributing to its present state of deterioration. The meager funds of the
local governments of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental have been unable to
provide sufficient funds for its continuous repair and maintenance, necessitating its
conversion into a national road and to enable the Department of Public Works and
Highways to step in.

The development of the highway network in the Philippines is one of the major
national programs being implemented by the government in order to support the overall
socioeconomic development of the country.

The conversion of the local road stretching from the City of Kabankalan in
Negros Occidental to the Municipality of Tayasan, Negros Oriental into a National Road
shall provide access to major airports, seaports/RORO ports, markets, production
areas, strategic tourist destinations and economic centers, and contribute to the
sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction in the Provinces of Negros
Occidental and Negros Oriental

House Bill No. GD

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Mindanao is known as the “Land of Promise”, but for it to fulfill all its promises, it has
to be fully-developed. One step to achieving this development is to link all the provinces in
the island. As of the present, Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur are isolated from Western
Mindanao due to the absence of a East to West Highway. Also, a highway would allow the
people from the Caraga Region access to the Laguindingan Airport, with the travel time of
four hours from Tandag to the said airport. As such. people from Caraga would no longer
have to travel to Cebu or Manila to have access to airports for their travels within and outside
the Philippines.

Further, a new highway would open up large tracts of land in Surigao del Sur,
Agusan del Sur, Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City to agricultural,
commercial, residential and industrial purposes.

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