“AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM
BARANGAY IGTUBA, MUNICIPALITY OF MIAGAO TO BARANGAY
IGTALONGON, MUNICIPALITY OF IGBARAS, ALL OF THE
PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The road section covered by this bill is the Igtuba-San Jose-Bagay-Igtalongon Road
which serve as an alternative route between the municipalities of Miagao and
Igbaras in the Province of Iloilo. This is a 22.6-kilometer barangay road that
traverses from the national highway at Brgy. Igtuba, Miagao, Iloilo, passing through
twelve (12) barangays of Miagao continues into Brgy. Bagay in the Municipality of
Igbaras thence through the Barangays of Lab-on, Corucuan and Igtalongon of the
same Municipality.

This road section is intended to connect the gap portion of two adjoining national
roads, i. e., lloilo-Igbaras National Road and Iloilo-Antique National Road, to form
continuous road network. It is a significant commercial artery as it connects the
towns Miagao and Igbaras, lloilo as well as the barangays therein, all of which
produce considerable quantities of agricultural products and farm animals. The
Municipality of Miagao is a 1st class municipality with a population of about 65,000
per 2010 census. It is the site of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas
(UPV). Igbaras is a 4th class municipality with a population of 31,347 per 2010
census. Both municipalities possess an immense potential in agriculture, trade and
commerce, thus, a reliable road system to reach their full potential can go a long
way. Upgrading and constant maintenance of this road section will invariably
engender increased agricultural activity productivity, thus invigorating trade and
commerce, considering that producers will have access to an all-weather road


network, thereby enabling them to conduct trade and commerce not only in the
nearby municipalities but also in the Province of Antique and Boracay Island.

This proposed measure is also premised on the plenary power of the Congress of
the Republic of the Philippines as enshrined in Section 1, Article VI of the 1987
Constitution of the Philippines, thus:

“Section 1, The legislative power shall be vested in the Congress of the
Philippines which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives,
except to the extent reserved to the people by the provision on initiative and
referendum.”

Broadly stated, the power Congress to legislate is all-encompassing, limited only by
our constitution. It appearing that there is no constitutional impediment attending
herein, the proponent respectfully prays that this proposed legislation be given due

consideration.
