HOUSE BILL NO. 4032

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the road traversing Barangays Poblacion
East, San Mariano, Balloy, Cabuloan, Libsong and Pataquid of the
Municipality of Sta. Maria, Province of Pangasinan to Barangays
Lumayao, Bolintaguen, Ungib, Cabalaoangan, and Zone 1 of the
Municipality of San Quintin, Province of Pangasinan, from a provincial
road into a national road.

The Province of Pangasinan is one of the biggest provinces in the
Philippines not only in terms of land area and agricultural productivity
but population as well. It is a well-visited tourism province with multi-
provincial boundaries which heavily relies on the comfort of mobility that
is closely attached to the construction and maintenance of good roads for
economic growth.

One of the provincial roads vital to socio-economic trade is the road
traversing Barangays Poblacion East, San Mariano, Balloy, Cabuloan,
Libsong and Pataquid of the Municipality of Sta. Maria, Province of
Pangasinan to Barangays Lumayao, Bolintaguen, Ungib, Cabalaoangan,
and Zone 1 of the Municipality of San Quintin, Province of Pangasinan.
The said roadline connects the Pangasinan-Vizcaya National Road and
the San Nicolas-Natividad-San Quintin- Umingan National Road. It being
an important link to two national roads, its conversion will considerably
advance socio-economic growth in Pangasinan and neighboring
provinces, and will assure the provision of much needed funds for its
long term maintenance, not to mention the repair and maintenance
savings that it will favor the provincial government. The subject


provincial roadline is also compliant with the specifications required in a
national road.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this

is earnestly sought.
