AN ACT
DECLARING AUGUST 1 OF EVERY YEAR A SPECIAL NON-WORKING 
HOLIDAY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF KAWIT, PROVINCE OF CAVITE IN 
COMMEMORATION OF ITS FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Municipality of Kawit, known as Cavite el Viejo or Old Cavite, was founded 
on August 1,1600. Cavite el Viejo was then comprised the municipality of Kawit today, 
Cavite la Punta (now Cavite City), Noveleta (called Tierra Alta), and Imus. Eventually, 
the other three barrios seceded as their population grew and became independent 
municipalities.
Kawit was then considered the most flourishing settlement prior to the coming 
of the Spaniards. It has provided the first anchorage of the Spaniards in the province, 
where the spread of Christianity began and spread to all corners of Cavite.
Historically known as the Cradle of the Philippine Revolution and Independence, 
Kawit has witnessed the victorious declaration of independence from the Spanish 
colonisers with the raising of the national flag and playing of the national anthem for 
the first time. Hence, it is only proper to honor this day with the declaration of August 
1 of every year as a special non-working holiday in the Municipality of Kawit, to 
commemorate its foundation.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

CONVERTING THE ASIPULO-LAMUT-LAGAWE-AGUINALDO 
PROVINCIAL ROAD IN THE PROVINCE OF IFUGAO INTO A NATIONAL
ROAD
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article X, Section 13 states that, "Local 
government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, 
services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance 
with law." The State needs to significantly improve and develop tourism and 
economic activities in the country.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
convert the Asipulo-Lamut-Lagawe-Aguinaldo Provincial Road in the Province of 
Ifugao into a national road.
The Asipulo-Lamut-Lagawe-Aguinaldo Provincial Road is strategically located 
in the areas devoted to tourism and agricultural production. The conversion of the 
road into a provincial road is necessary to accelerate development and increase 
agricultural and economic activities. This will broaden the livelihood opportunities to 
the community, encourage investments, and enhance the economic and social living 
conditions of the communities that will benefit from the road conversion.
In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

AN ACT GRANTING FILIPINO CITIZENSHIP TO KYLE 
JENNERMANN, WITH ALL THE RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND 
PREROGATIVES APPURTENANT THERETO
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to grant Philippine citizenship to Kyle Jennermann and giving him all 
the rights and privileges as well as the duties and obligations thereto under our 
Constitution and existing laws.
Kyle Jennermann is a Canadian national who found himself enamored with the 
Philippines. He firmly believes that the world would be a better place to live if people 
around the world make the Philippines a part of their lives in one way or another.
Stuck with this belief, “Kulas”, which is the nickname that Jennermann was given 
several years ago by one of the “manongs” whom he met in one of his travels, lived 
with a purpose: introduce the Philippines to the rest of the world through the internet 
with his viogs. He set up the YouTube channel called “Becoming Filipino” in order to 
accomplish this, and through time, effort, and his love for the country, he has become 
an internet sensation with close to a million subscribers. Through his viogs, he has 
created and published thousands of video content showcasing his real-life interactions 
and connections with the Filipino people and their culture all throughout his eight years 
of immersive travel across eighty (80) out of the eighty-one (81) provinces.
In view of Kyle Jennermann’s contributions to the promotion of Filipino culture and 
identity to the rest of the world, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Road construction and maintenance are pivotal to economic development 
because they connect people and promote thriving trade and tourism. It would boost 
tourism and improve people's lives across the province and in neighboring communities.
The purpose of this bill is to make the Ballay-Tawangan-Lusod Farm to Market 
Road (FMR) in the Municipality of Kabayan, Province of Benguet, a National Road. The 
road meets the road conversion criteria and guidelines outlined in DPWH Department 
Order No. 133, s. 2018.
The conversion of the said FMR into a National Road will speed up trade and 
commerce between the people of the Municipality and the Province and the neighboring 
Provinces of Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya, thereby accelerating socioeconomic growth 
and industrial prosperity throughout the Cordillera Administrative Region. This will also 
contribute to and promote the Province's tourism industry by providing more developed 
and improved infrastructure roads.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

DECLARING APRIL 7 EVERY YEAR AS BARANGAY HEALTH WORKERS DAY
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Volunteerism and public service of our frontliners, most especially of our 
Barangay Health Workers (BHWs), sits at the core of the resiliency of the Philippine 
health care system. Our BHWs diligently serve and deliver primary health care in 
every Filipino community, including geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas 
where medical doctors and other health professionals are not present.
As the nation responds to the continuing challenges posed by the COVID-19 
pandemic, BHWs have become vanguards of this fight against COVID-19 and 
continued providing services - announcing the health services offered by the 
barangay, making house-to-house visits for vaccination and deworming, and 
distributing medicines and vitamins, among others - despite the high risk of exposure 
to the disease.
In recognition of their role and contribution in community public health, this 
bill seeks to declare April 7th of every year, which is coincidentally also the World 
Health Day, as Barangay Health Workers Day.
To honor the heroism of our BHWs, the immediate passage of this bill is 
earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On 23 March 2007, Republic Act No. 9405 or "An Act Converting the 
Municipality of Bayugan in the Province of Agusan Del Sur into a Component City to 
be known as the City of Bayugan was signed into law and was ratified by a plebiscite 
held on 20 June 2007.
Every year, the Local Government Unit of Bayugan City celebrates its Charter 
Day and without a law mandating it, it has become a recurring necessity to request 
the Office of the President to declare June 21 as a special non-working holiday for 
Bayugan City.
All of the citizens of Bayugan City wish that they can celebrate the city's 
Charter Day meaningfully and without any uncertainty as to whether that day is 
designated a holiday or not.
Hence, this bill seeks to declare June 21 of every year a special non-working 
public holiday in the City of Bayugan, Province of Agusan del Sur to commemorate 
its charter day and to enable its residents and local officials to fully participate in 
the festivities prepared by the local government. This proposed measure is 
supported by the residents of Bayugan City who all share the hope that they can 
fully celebrate the Charter Day of their beloved city.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly
sought.

INSTITUTIONALIZING THE GRANT OF TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCE FOR 
ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Transportation takes a huge chunk of a government employee's pay check. They have 
to allocate a bigger portion of their budget for fare and/or gasoline due to the enormous 
increase in the price of petroleum.
In order to ease the financial burden of the government employees, this measure 
proposes to grant all of them transportation allowance.
This bill seeks to aid government employees of the financial burden brought upon 
them by the surge in oil prices, which dramatically affects their day-to-day expenses.
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN BARANGAY SAN 
ISIDRO, CITY OF ORMOC IN THE PROVINCE OF LEYTE TO BE 
KNOWN AS SAN ISIDRO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution states that, "The State shall give 
priority to education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster 
patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human 
liberation and development." Article XIV, Section 1, it further provides that, "the State 
shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education^ at all levels and 
shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all."
Currently, there are eighty-three (83) elementary schools and only sixteen (16) 
secondary schools in the City of Ormoc. Clearly, there is a disproportion in the learning 
institutions of the said City. As a result of this disproportion, the Ormoc City National 
High School is under extreme congestion, thus it is no longer a conducive environment 
for learning.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned issues, this measure seeks to 
establish a national high school in Barangay San Isidro, Ormoc City. The planned new 
high school is not within a 1-2 kilometer radius of the closest secondary school, and 
would therefore be feasible.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is earnestly 
sought.

REVERTING THE NAME OF BARANGAY SAN MARIANO IN THE 
MUNICIPALITY OF BANTAY, PROVINCE OF ILOCOS SUR, TO ITS 
ORIGINAL NAME BARANGAY SALLACONG
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The original name of the barangay was changed to San Mariano by virtue of 
Republic Act No. 8243 on December 30, 1996, owing to the author of the said Law, 
Congressman Mariano Tajon, who was then the representative of the 1st District of 
llocos Sur.
The purpose of this bill is to change the name of Barangay San Mariano in the 
Municipality of Bantay, Province of llocos Sur, to Barangay Sallacong. The inland 
Barangay San Mariano was previously known as Barangay Sallacong, and it was home 
to approximately 450 people at the time. Despite being the most remote and isolated 
barangay, next to Barangay Mina and Barangay Sagneb, people have naturally 
survived through available livelihood, such as fishing, farming, livestock raising, 
firewood collection, charcoal making, and bamboo gathering ('caoayan' and 'bical')-
It would be appropriate to go back to calling the area Barangay Sallacong in order 
to better reflect its original and historical significance.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure earnestly 
sought.

years in serving the Filipino people by being in the public sector. Most of them reach 
their retirement ages in the government.
This proposal seeks to provide automatic promotion of government officials and 
employees upon retirement from government service. This affords them the rightful 
appreciation and recognition of their hard work and dedication to the public service.
In this light, consideration of this bill is earnestly sought.

CONVERTING TAWANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY TAWANG, 
MUNICIPALITY OF LA TRINIDAD, PROVINCE OF BENGUET INTO AN 
INTEGRATED SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS TAWANG INTEGRATED SCHOOL 
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article XIV, Section 1 of the Constitution states that, "the State shall protect and 
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take 
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. "Accessibility to quality and 
affordable education that extends to the poorest of the poor is one of the national 
government's thrusts in eradicating poverty.
The passage of this proposed measure is intended to address the need for a 
more functional, independent and financially stable secondary school in Barangay 
Tawang, in the Municipaplity of La Trinidad. This also aims to promote an accessible, 
affordable and quality education for all secondary students in the said Barangay and 
its adjacent Barangays.
Hence, this bill seeks to convert Tawang Elementary School into an integrated 
school in Barangay Tawang, Municipality of La Trinidad, Province of Benguet, which 
shall be known as the Tawang Integrated School. This will not only promote 
uninterrupted education to children, but will also boost the enrollment and attendance 
rates in these areas.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is respectfully 
sought.

DECLARING NOVEMBER 23 OF EVERY YEAR A SPECIAL NONWORKING 
HOLIDAY IN THE PROVINCE OF BENGUET IN COMMEMORATION OF ITS 
FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY, TO BE KNOWN AS "BENGUET DAY"
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 23rd of November 1900 marked the historic creation of Benguet's first civil 
government. This day symbolizes that, despite the mountainous terrain and vastness, 
or even remoteness of the province, there is a government that is accessible and 
responsive to the people.
The establishment of the Civil Government of Benguet under Act 48, with its 
then Civil Governor H.P. Whitmarsh, provides a head start that paved the way for the 
province's long-term socioeconomic growth. The history of the province demonstrates 
that, despite the fact that the people of Benguet come from various groups, tribes, and 
cultures, they were able to coexist through to the civil government.
This measure seeks to declare November 23 of every year a special non-working 
holiday in the province of Benguet. Observing this day as a non-working holiday allows 
the province to reflect on its history and reconnect with its roots.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is respectfully
sought.

CONVERTING BALLUAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BALLUAY, 
MUNICIPALITY OF SABLAN, PROVINCE OF BENGUET INTO AN INTEGRATED
SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS BALLUAY INTEGRATED SCHOOL AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article XIV, Section 1 of the Constitution states that, "the State shall protect and 
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take 
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all."
Education is a fundamental right of every Filipino. However, due to infrastructure 
barriers, some children are not able to attain basic education. Children residing in far- 
flung areas do not have access to educational institutions where they can pursue 
learning.
Hence, this bill seeks to convert Balluay Elementary School into an integrated 
school in Barangay Balluay, Municipality of Sablan, Province of Benguet, which shall be 
known as the Balluay Integrated School. This shall provide elementary and secondary 
education in the area. Further, it is intended to serve not only the children residing in 
Barangay Balluay but also those from adjacent and nearby barangays.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is respectfully 
sought.

PROCLAIMING FIREFIGHTERS' RECOGNITION DAY
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to recognize the invaluable contribution of the firefighters. 
Firefighters extraordinarily risk their lives to save others from by fires and other life- 
threatening situations and is considered one of the most dangerous professions 
worldwide.
In fact, in line of their duty, firefighters carry on with their service despite 
experiencing personal/medical concerns while on duty. The same scenario happened 
to Senior Fire Officer Ramon Quiapon, Jr. who died due to hypertension while 
responding to a fire incident in Polangui, Albay early this year. Many firefighters had 
already given their lives for public service which deserves the highest honor and 
praise.
Given the utmost dedication of firefighters to public service, it is only 
appropriate to dedicate a day to honor their service to the country. This day will 
provide an opportunity to recognize the important contribution of our firefighters 
made to preserve our safety and well-being.
For this reason, I recommend the approval of this bill.

PROVIDING FOR THE TRI-LEVEL INTERCHANGE ALONG M.C. BRIONES 
STREET CORNER UNITED NATIONS AVENUE, MANDAUE CITY, PROVINCE 
OF CEBU AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks the construction of a Tri-Level Interchange along M.C. Briones 
Street corner United Nations Avenue, Mandaue City, Province of Cebu.
According to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the 
unresolved traffic congestion in Metro Cebu has resulted in at least a billion pesos 
economic losses a day. Cebu continues to suffer from worsening traffic problems 
brought about by road congestions.
This is an apparent problem In the area along M.C. Briones Street and United 
Nations Avenue, Mandaue City. The United Nations Avenue is a major thoroughfare 
which connects to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, the second bridge linking the Mactan - 
Cebu International Airport (MCIA) and the City of Lapu-Lapu and Municipality of 
Cordova. This part of Mandaue City connects North and South Cebu. The usual 
commute within the city that normally takes fifteen minutes now stretches to more 
than an hour.
Considering the expansion of the MCIA, expected resurgence of the tourism 
industry and the increasing traffic volume toward this area, the existing road 
infrastructure simply cannot cope up with the growing numbers of vehicles to be 
serviced. Hence, the construction of the Tri-Level Interchange becomes an imperative 
to address the traffic congestion.


This measure has been passed on Third Reading in the House of 
Representatives in the 18th Congress.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure is 
respectfully requested.
