during the 18th Congress and was approved by the House of
When House Bill 6144 was being deliberated on, the idea was to have the amalgamation of
the Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) and the Misamis Oriental State
College of Agriculture and Technology (MOSCAT) to one University which will be the
preeminent University dedicated to Science and Technology in the entire Philippines.
However, what came out from the deliberations and the eventual law (Republic Act 10919)
was the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines.
The word "Southern" in the name of the University sometimes gives the impression that it
caters only to and focuses on students coming from the South of the Philippines. We want to
remove this impression. The performance of the University of Science and Technology of
Southem Philippines has clearly shown that it is the foremost University focused on Science
and Technology in the Philippines.
ln view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested

ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to establish a national elementary school in Barangay Tumana 
in the Second District of Marikina City to be known as the “Tumana National 
Elementary School”. 
At present, there is no existing public or private elementary school in Barangay 
Tumana.  Students from this Barangay continue their education in other elementary 
schools in Marikina City.  However, during enrollment period, these schools prioritize 
students coming from their localities, leaving students from Barangay Tumana waiting 
for admission to said learning institutions. 
The establishment of a national elementary school in Barangay Tumana also 
seeks to lower the average student-classroom ratio of one hundred is to one (100:1) 
in the surrounding Barangays where they are forced to enroll and to increase the city’s 
student participation rate in elementary school education.  This will certainly help 
improve the quality of education in Marikina City, especially in the elementary school 
level. 
In view thereof, the expedient approval of this bill is strongly recommended.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Cagayan de Oro City has been declared as one of the emerging cities of tomonow in
the world by the United Nations. This becomes more evident with the fast development and
increase in population and economic activities which, unfortunately means that the City is
experiencing traffic congestion in its central business districts. Aside from the inconvenience,
business losses are incurred by all its residents.
One possible solution is to improve and add additional roads in the City. The proposed
J.R. Borja Extension from Gusa to Puerto at Sayre Highway is one such improvement. This
proposed road shall be a four-lane road spanning 10 kms, 5 bridges (400m) from Gusa to
Puerto and 3 flyovers at Malasag Road leading to the Malasag Ecopark, Umalag Road leading
to the PAGASA Observatory and lndahag Road leading to Barangay lndahag and which would
connect the existing J.R. Borja extension to the CDO Coastal Road.
This proposed project will decongest traffic along the CDO-Butuan Road.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The City of Makati is currently classified as a High Urbanized City and has even
received global recognition for many of its innovations and policies. Currently considered
the financial capital of the Philippines, it also has the second highest locally generated
income among cities in the country.

As early as 2016 it has laid the ground work to become the country’s first Smart
City and is already on the verge of transforming into a digital city with intention of driving
progress towards local, national, and even global agenda.

Despite its population bloating to an estimated minimum of 3.2 to 4.2 million
people during the daytime, it has been able to manage this within its limited area and is
even the country’s front runner in developing smart cities.

Makati now seeks to be classified as a Special City to continue providing world
class public service and to continue its good governance.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Under existing laws, the complainant or offended party, if he is a public officer, may

file allibel case in Manila, if his office is in Manila, against a journalist in Aparri or in Jolo.

This allows for harassment suits against journalists who are financially handicapped to
answer cases filed far away from their places of work.

criminal and civil actions against community or local journalists, publications, or broadcast

stations to be filed where such journalists, publications, or broadcast stations are.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Nagsipit Falls has become a famous tourist destination located in Barangay 
Inlagadian despite being the most remote barangay in the Municipality of Casiguran, 
Sorsogon.  
However, the road network leading to the waterfalls remains classified as a 
local road maintained and rehabilitated by the local government unit of the Province 
of Sorsogon. The limited resources of the provincial government hinder it from 
sufficiently allocating annually what this vital road network actually needs for its 
upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Brgy. Escuala 
to Brgy. Inlagadian in the Municipality of Casiguran from being a Provincial Road 
into a National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to establish a National High School in Barangay Sumpotan, Municipality 
of Dinas, Province of Zamboanga del Sur. 
Section 1, Article XIV of the Philippine Constitution provides for the right of all 
citizens to quality education at all levels and that appropriate steps should be taken by the 
government to make such education accessible to all.  
Barangay Sumpotan has a considerable number of elementary graduates who are unable 
to pursue secondary education because of geographical constraint. At present, there is no 
existing public or private high school in this Barangay. This hampers the resident’s right to 
accessible education. 
The creation of a national high school makes secondary education available to the 
Barangay. Further, it will provide wider avenues for administrators, faculty, staff, students, 
parents and the community for innovations and development that would hopefully improve the 
division performance in terms of participation and achievement rates. 
It is therefore recommended that the foregoing bill be approved.

It serves as connecting access road to other adjacent barangay in the mountain and
hill lands, Constituents and inhabitants, various sectors of the community be it on
business, family and employment are all dependent on the use of this particular
access. It served as not only as Trade and business route but likewise a passageways
for personal and family convenience, simply because it gave and easy entry and exit

from western towns are preferably travelled on this route bound to Cebu City a from

The conversion of San Fernando and Pinamungahan Provincial Road to

National Road will certainly hasten access of motorist, vice-versa.
The passage of this Bill is of urgent concern primarily because of the large

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Our workforce is dominated by the graying population who have
rendered invaluable service not only to their company but to the society as
well, Their immeasurable contributions which were perfected by the
combination of knowledge, expertise, hard work and experience have not
been recognized. Because workers, both In the government and private
‘Sector who are aged fifty (50) and above have already mastered the trade
through the years of service, they inevitably become the models and
Inspirations of younger workers.

We can not deny that the older workers have contributed in shaping
up the economy of this nation. It is but fitting to recognize the outstanding
men and women in the labor force who have rendered exemplary service
‘and have served as ultimate and ideal examples of a genuine dedicated
servant,

In the light of the foregoing, Immediate passage of this measure is
