HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE ELIAS C. BULUT, JR. and
REPRESENTATIVE SAMANTHA LOUISE V. ALFON:

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Ili-Guinamgamman-Rizal Provincial Road in the
Province of Apayao and Province of Cagayan, into a national road.

This local road links the missing gap between the two (2) national roads, the Tuao-
Rizal Road (Cagayan-Apayao Road) in the Province of Cagayan and the Conner-Kabugao
Road in the Province of Apayao. It is a 12-kilometer road stretch which reckons at section
K0S74+900 of the Conner-Kabugao National Road, in the area of Barangay Ili, Conner,
Apayao and ends at section KO550+000 of the Rizal-Tuao National Road, in the area of
Barangay Mabbang, Rizal, Cagayan.

Converting the Ili-Guinamgaman-Rizal Provincial Road will realize an
uninterrupted connectivity between the two national roads, providing as well an East-West
lateral and inter-provincial, inter-regional linkage between Apayao Province (CAR) and
Cagayan Province (Region 2).

The road conversion supports the current direction of the Department of Public
Works and Highways to connect gasps in its national road network, a vital infrastructure
initiative to improve road linkages and reduce circuitous routes. The consequent road
improvements after conversion will directly spur economic development in the area as it
will open activities related to agriculture, tourism, livelihood enterprise, and transportation.
Additionally, both provinces, Apayao and Cagayan, will have improved access in the
delivery of key social services to our communities, especially our IP communities who
consider the area their home and where they have a flourishing farming industry.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The purpose of education is to provide an individual with knowledge, skills, competence
and desirable qualities of behavior to render him fit for the duties of life.

Education is so important that it now has been enshrined in the Constitution mandating
the state not only to make education accessible to all but to promote the right of all citizens to
quality education.

‘This bill seeks to convert the Dentica High School into the Denrica National High School
with the end in view of promoting quality education as envisioned by the Constitution as the
Municipality of Garchitorena does not have sufficient funds to support the needs of the school
and its students. Due to this situation, the school and its students are currently suffering from lack
of facilities, materials and qualified faculty. ‘There is an urgent need, therefore to pass the burden

to the national government if only to pursue the constitutional mandate of promoting the right of
citizens to quality education.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

According to the latest census in 2015, the Municipality of Ibajay, has the largest
population in the Second District of Aklan which is about 49,564, an increase of 8.6% from
the population count in 2010. A large percentage of this is comprised of school-age
population. However, given the number of students, there is a need for the establishment of
a National High School which shall be located in Ibajay to cater the students not only in Ibajay
but also the students of the entire province, especially those living in the second district.

‘The creation of a National Highschool especially dedicated for the Second District of
‘Aklan students will address the shortage in classrooms, big student-to-classroom ration and
other gaps in the public school system. This will also give the parents another option to
enroll their children to this institution than send them to private high schools or even send
them in another province. Having their children enrolled in another highschool located in
other province entails bigger overhead expenses which bleed dry the finances of the family.

This representation deems it imperative that this bill be enacted into law the soonest
possible time.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to remove and separate Displina Village Elementary School
(DVES) in Block 1, Disiplina Village, Bignay, Valenzuela City from its mother
school, Roberta De Jesus Elementary School (EDJES) in Hulo St. Bignay,
Valenzuela City.

The students of DVES came from families in Disiplina Village, who were
relocated from danger zones. It began with the relocation of communities affected
by Typhoon Ondoy. Its success spurred the development of the Village, which now
accommodates 3,708 families previously living along waterways and those affected
by the NLEX Segment Expansion Project.

The population growth in the Village creates a corresponding growth in the
student population of DVES. Hence, there is a need to separate DVES from EDJES.
This will consequently enable DVES to administer itself in accordance with the
specific demands of the students and faculty, as well as promote the self-
sustainability of the community. Furthermore, this will also solve the geographic
problem of the two (2) schools being approximately two (2) kilometers away from
each other,

Introduced by Representative MANUEL F. ZUBIRI

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a National High School in Barangay Base Camp in the
Municipality of Maramag, Province of Bukidnon.

There is currently no national high school in the aforementioned area. Students in the
municipality either go to private schools or public schools in other municipalities. While others can
afford to do this, itis safe to say that it is not easy for them financially. In the same vein, children
from less fortunate families are left not attending school because of the added financial burden
imposed by private schools or the added financial strain to their already meager income brought
about by the added expense of fare in going to and from schools in other municipalities.

The concerned municipality has already expressed its commitment to comply with
whatever requirements that comes with the establishment of a national high school. This bill will
surely serve a lot of our less-fortunate constituents especially children who have a basic right to
education as enunciated in our constitution. It is in the best interest of our Bukidnon youth that
national high school be established in Maramag, Bukidnon as well improve professional stability
to the teaching and non-teaching employees in the area.

‘As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Let
us continue investing in our youth by providing them adequate state-sponsored facilities
education.

Gulf beach coastline and is used for strolling and jogging by the locals and tourists alike
because of its sea wind swept scenic site. Although it’s an unclassified road, it was built by
the Department of Public Works and Highways ensuring its durability because the standard
used in constructing it was the same standard that were used in building national highways by
the DPWH. Sometimes funding for its maintenance and upkeep were sourced through the
convergence fund of the Department of Tourism if it was included in the projects to be
funded under the roads leading to tourism areas program.

However, since it is still an unclassified road, the funding for its maintenance and
development is not assured and would depend on the allocation by the national government if
it would allocate funds at all. On the other hand, the local government would have difficulties
funding its maintenance as they have very limited funds. Despite its potential as a tourism
site, its full possibility can not be achieved because of uncertain funding for its maintenance.
By converting the said road into a national road, it would not only boost tourism along the
coast of Lingayen Gulf but it would likewise improve the socio-economic situation of our
constituents there as livelihood opportunities and business endeavors would surely increase.

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

House Bill No. 5152

Introduced by Honorable ALFONSO V. UMALI JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Part of the advocacy of this representation is to make government
services readily accessible to the people. In the Province of Oriental
Mindoro, government offices services are mostly located and accessed
in its capital city, the City of Calapan, which is located at the norther
part of the province. Among these is the Land Transportation Office
(LTO) Satellite Office located in Brgy. Tawiran, Calapan City, and
approximately fifty (50) kilometers from the northernmost municipality
in the Second District of Oriental Mindoro.

Sometime in 2010, due to huge demand of LTO services in the
Second Legislative District of Oriental Mindoro, an “extension office” of
the LTO in the Municipality of Pinamalayan, also in the Province of
Oriental Mindoro, was established. However, being merely an extension
office, not all LTO services is catered therein. Hence, this bill seeks to
establish a |Satellite Office of the Land Transportation Office in the
Municipality of Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro, in order to meet the
needs of our motoring public for more accessible LTO services.

Itis fot the foregoing reasons that the undersigned earnestly seeks
for the immediate passage of this bill.
