INTRODUCED BY HON. FREDENIL H. CASTRO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill aims to convert the road stretching from Barangays San Roque - Junction San Roque
to the National Highway (loilo-Capiz Road Old Route) - Consolacion - Sta. Rita - Sta. Carmen Roads
in the Municipality of Dumalag to Barangays Baye, Bungsi, Bato Bato, Poblacion, to National
Highway (Aklan-Capiz Road) in the Municipality of Mambusao to Barangays Pinamalatican -
Mansacul - Mangoso - Guintas to National Highway (Aklan-Capiz Road) in the Municipality of Sigma,
Capiz into a national road.

Fast delivery of goods and services, increased trade activity, and the influx of possible investors
are very good indicators for economic growth. In this instance, the said road is a very long road that
traverses three Municipalities of the Second District of Capiz going into the Province of Aklan; and the
said road was built to hasten the economic development of the said Municipalities as it would give the
people easier access going in and out of the Province of Aklan to conduct their businesses, and as well
as deliver their goods/services in and around the said three Municipalities.

‘The current condition of the road, however, is unfavorable as during rainy season even big
trucks have difficulty in traversing the said road in its present state. The local government units of the
said Municipalities are also financially incapable of putting funds for the regular maintenance of the
said road.

It is therefore a must to convert this roads into a national road so that they would be properly
cared for by the government to boost further the growth of the local economy within the area.

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