HOUSE BILL NO, Alle 2 AND INDEX s2aViCE

Introduced By: HON. TEDDY BRAWNER BAGUILAT, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed House Bill entitled “An Act Converting the Kiangan-Asipulo-Ambaguio Road in
the Municipalities of Kiangan and Asipulo, Province of Ifugao and Municipality of Ambaguio, Province
of Nueva Vizcaya into a National Road and Appropriating Funds Therefore” is aimed at converting the
Kiangan-Asipulo-Ambaguio Provincial Road into a National Road which would consequently allow the
provision of necessary funds for its development and maintenance.

The Kiangan-Asipulo-Ambaguio Provincial Road is a vital road that starts from Sitio Ibulao,
Barangay Baguinge and traverses through the barangays of Duit, and Mappit in the Municipality of
Kiangan, Province of Ifugao. It continues to barangays Haliap, Amduntog, Antipolo, Pula, Cawayan,
Camandag and Duli in the Municipality Asipulo, Province of Ifugao, It further extends and ends in the
Municipality of Ambaguio, Province of Nueva Vizcaya,

The road is a significant road that connects a huge portion of the municipalities of Kiangan and
Asipulo in the province of Ifugao and Ambaguio in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. It is a road that
provides great opportunities for trade and commerce between the provinces; an opening for industry, not
only among the contiguous municipalities but also with other nearby municipalities and provinces.

The road connects Ambaguio, Asipulo, and Kiangan to the adjacent municipality and Ifugao’s
capital- Lagawe. Lagawe serves as a profitable market for vegetable and fruit farmers from both Nueva
Vizcaya and Ifugao. Not only that, it also allows farmers to connect to the lucrative vegetable trade that
spans up to the whole Luzon,

‘The road as of the moment remains to be a provincial road that has continuously served as a
hurdle to the economic progress of the Municipalities of Kiangan, Asipulo and Ambaguio; a great
stumbling block in the development in the lives of the people of Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya. The bill
seeks to solve this economic dormancy.

Given this reason it is most respectfully urged that this bill be approved with utmost urgency and
significance,

BRAWNER BAGUILAT JR.
