AN ACT DECLARING JUNE 24 OF EVERY YEAR AS A SPECIAL NON-WORKING
HOLIDAY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF BALAYAN, BATANGAS TO ALLOW
PARTICIPATION IN THE “PARADA NG LECHON”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Celebrated annually every 24‘ of June in the Municipality of Balayan,
Province of Batangas, the Parada ng Lechon is a thanksgiving celebration of the
Balayefio working class acknowledging the bounties brought them during the
last year. It is celebrated in conjunction with the Feast Day of St. John the Baptist
coupled with the practice of water dousing.

As the years passed the “Parada ng Lechon” evolved and what was once
a one (1) day celebration, turned into a weeklong event coupled with different
activities such as sports tournaments, beauty pageants, concerts and other
forms of contests, activities and programs, which are held in preparation for the
Parada ng Lechon.

Unfortunately, since the date mostly falls on a regular work day, majority
of Balayefios could not enjoy the festivities of the “Parada ng Lechon” as they
are working.

Recognizing the historic significance of the celebration as a fusion of
culture, religion and tradition, as it has been celebrated annually for more than
six (6) decades, it is only apt that June 24 of every year be declared as a special
non-working holiday to allow a greater number of its constituency to participate
in this yearly celebration.

7
%)


A unique and festive celebration, flocked by both local and national
tourists, it has contributed greatly in the recognition of the Municipality of
Balayan as a tourist destination, thereby contributing to the tourism industry
and eventually contributing to better our economy.

Hence, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

This bill seeks to lower the optional retirement age for public school teachers from sixty
(60) to fifty-five (55) years of age.

Public school teachers in our country are faced with heavy workload that is not only
limited to actual teaching but to other administrative or support roles. They work long hours,
render duties even during vacation months and extend services beyond their classrooms. Itis a
fact that our public school teachers are chronically overworked. '

The clamor for early retirement has been expressed during consultations with public
school teachers. Our public school teachers experience high levels of stress and hazardous
situations in the conduct of their duties that for most of them, the compulsory retirement of 65
years of age would be too late to fully enjoy the fruits of their labor in a healthier environment
and in the company of their loved ones. Lowering the optional retirement of our public school
teachers will also hasten the turnover to younger teachers of the positions in our bureaucracy
giving others the opportunity to provide different insights and perspectives in our educational
system

In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Based on the  of 2007 National Statistics Office census, Bagong Silang has

Caloocan City, but in the whole Philippines.  This is mainly due to the fact, that 
it is the site of a major resettlement of informal settlers in Metro Manila.  
Once the Langit Road is converted into a national road, the necessary 
funds from the national government will be infused for the maintenance of said 
road into an A-1 condition. This will facilitate smooth traffic to and from the 
surrounding areas and within the busy districts of Caloocan and  Quezon City 
where large shopping malls and other establishments are located.

district primarily, and the entire Camarines Sur and the Bicol Region as a whole.  
The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and efficient transportation of 
basic goods and the delivery of necessary services. It is projected that such road 
conversion shall promote livelihood opportunities, encourage competitive flow of 
investment, and ultimately enhance the economic and social living conditions not just of 
the people living along such roads, but in the arterial secondary and tertiary roads that 
lead to it.  
The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to national roads as 
prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public Works and Highways have been 
substantially met, and the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill aims to convert the roadway from NRJ Navarro to Malinao Road
located in Tubajon, Province of Dinagat Islands into a national road.

‘The existing roadway from NRJ Navarro to Malinao Road, with its length of 5.40 KM,
serves as a main thoroughfare in the locality. It is a reliable passageway heavily traversed by
the residents and is a vital infrastructure and passageway of goods and services between sitios,
barangays, and municipalities. Needless to say, the mobility the abovesaid roadway provides
to the people of Dinagat Islands is essential to the socio-economic activities and operations of
the province.

The roadway from NRJ Navarro to Malinao Road is currently classified as a local road.
Thus, its maintenance and improvement are under the responsibility of the local government.
Considering the fiscal limitations of the local government, the maintenance of the road subject
of this bill cannot always be given prioritization despite its contribution and importance to the
locality.

Thus, to guarantee the availability of and access to funds for the consistent care and
maintenance of the abovesaid road, and to make sure that it continues to serve fully its purpose
and capacity, it is deemed best and urgent to convert the roadway from NRJ Navarro to Malinao
Road into a national road. Doing so will redound to the socio-economic development and
promotion of the welfare of the People of the Province of Dinagat Islands.

In view thereof, the passage of this bill is camestly sought.

AN ACT CONVERTING THE PUCIO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 
IN BARANGAY PUCIO, MUNICIPALITY OF PANDAN, 
PROVINCE OF ANTIQUE INTO AN INTEGRATED SCHOOL TO 
BE KNOWN AS THE PUCIO INTEGRATED SCHOOL AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Education is a right and not a privilege. To this end, Article XIV, Section 1 
of the 1987 Constitution 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”. Thus, we should strive to ensure that 
every child in the country would have access to quality education. 
In line with this Constitutional mandate, this bill seeks to convert the Pucio 
Elementary School in Barangay Pucio, Municipality of Pandan in the Province of 
Antique to be known as the Pucio Integrated School. The Pucio Elementary School 
will be transformed into an integrated school, giving the students of Barangay Pucio 
and its surrounding barangays access to quality primary and secondary education 
without having to travel too far from their neighborhood. 
In line with the policy adopted by its original proponent Senator Loren 
Legarda, this bill therefore serves as a re-filed measure. It is for the reasons stated 
above that the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
According to the World Health Organization data in 2020, kidney disease deaths 
in the Philippines reached 39,380 or 5.84% of total deaths. About 120 Filipinos 
develop chronic renal failure per million population per year and that is the main 
reason why kidney diseases especially End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are 
already the 7th leading cause of morbidity among the Filipinos. Worldwide there 
are approximately more than 1 million people who are on renal replacement 
therapy and 5,000 at the least are Filipino patients are presently undergoing 
dialysis and this number is continuously growing. The age adjusted Death Rate is 
51.96 per 10,000 of population that ranks us No. 10 in the world. 
This bill seeks to amend the Charter of the National Kidney and Transplant 
Institute (NKTI) which is a tertiary medical specialty center formerly known as the 
National Kidney Foundation of the Philippines (NKFP) created on January 16, 
1981 by virtue of President Decree 1832 signed by then President Ferdinand E. 
Marcos. By virtue of Republic Act No. 8020, the NKTI was renamed from National 
Kidney Institute (NKI) and designated as the lead center for organ 
transplantation. It was created with a three-fold mission of Service, Training and 
Research primarily for the benefit of the Filipino people afflicted with kidney and 
allied diseases and in pursuance of the policy of the State to secure the well­
being of the people by providing them with specialized health and medical 
services. Presently, it is the only government hospital specializing in renal diseases 
and organ transplantation and the center for referral of kidney patients from 
various regional hospitals nationwide and is reorganized as the lead agency in 
voluntary blood services. 
Renal transplantation is limited due to the expense and the shortage of donors 
and the cost of medical treatment for kidney diseases is very expensive and 
beyond the reach of the poor Filipino. Patients suffering from kidney diseases 
from all over the country are often faced with no other choice but to travel in 
Quezon City where the National Kidney and Transplant Institute is to seek 
specialized medical assistance from the government due to lack of local 
facilities that can accommodate their medical needs. The location of NKTI adds 
a burden on patients especially the poor through the added expenses such as 
transportation (land and air), accommodation, lodging and other miscellaneous 
expenditures.
