EXPLANATORY NOTH
This bill provides  for the  construction of a bridge  cormecting barangays
Mabini  and Mosangot  located  in the  Municipality  of Binuangan,  Province  of
Misamis Oriental, to be known as the Mabini-Mosangot Bridge.
According to the Calendar Year 2020  Summary Traffic Data conducted
by the Misaniis  Oriental First District Engineering Office,  the   annual average
daily traffic in Butuan City and Cagayan De Oro passing through the Binuangan
Bridge   consists  of  7999  motorcycles,   I,464  passenger  cars,   359  passenger
utility vehicles, 976 utility vehicles for goods,  80 small buses, 265 large buses,
44  2-axle  rigid  trucks,  158  3-axle  rigid  trucks,  226  3  and  4-axle  semi-trailer
trucks,  84  5-axle  semi-trailer  trucks,  69  4-axle  trailers  trucks,  and  37  5-axle
trailer trucks.
The  national  highway  leading  to  Binuangan  Bridge  is  curve  and  steep,
which often results to over speeding and road accidents.   The Binuangan Bridge
is identified by the Department of Public Works and Highways as a black spot
area, where a total of seventeen traffic accidents occurred from January 2021  to
December 2021, as reported by the Philippine National Police.
The  proposed  Mabini-Mosangot  Bridge  will  serve  as  the  diversion  or
bypass road of the Binuangan Bridge,  thereby  solving,  if not minimizing,  the
numerous traffic accidents in the area.   It will also improve mobility of people,
cut  considerably  the  cost  of transportation  and  traveling  time,  and  link  other
neighboring barangays,  thereby  accelerating the  social  and  economic progress
in their areas.


Further,   it  will  create  better  opportunities  not  only  to  the  residents,
particularly  the  farmers,  of the  said barangays but also to the residents  of the
entire  province  in  terms  of the  provision  of  adequate,  safe  and  convenient
facilities in transporting and marketing their products.   Thus, this  development
in the area will reduce the prices of commodities, foster economic progress,lead
to the creation of more jobs and improve the quality of life.
Furthermore, it will boost their tourism by offering an alternate route for
travelers  who  will  surely  love  the  picturesque  sunrise  and  sunset  along  the
coastal shores of the Municipality of Binuangan.
The  Mabini-Mosangot  Bridge  will  form  part  of the  National  Highway
System and will cormect Manila to Mindanao via the Roll On Roll Off (RORO)
Terminal System.   The system includes crossing the magnificent and iconic Sam
Juanico Bridge,  stretching from Sanar to Leyte,  and then passing through the
San  Ricardo  Port  in  Leyte  and  the  Lipata  Port  of Surigao  City  via  RORO
Terminal System.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly
sought.
