Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE CHEENO MIGUEL D. ALMARIO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Province of Davao Oriental is experiencing socioeconomic progress
brought about by the rapid growth ofits education, business, and tourism sectors.
Accordingly, there is also a noticeable increase in the province's population.
Moreover, the establishment of more businesses such as resorts, hotels, food hubs,
among others, is expected due to the influx of local and foreign tourists once the
improvements of Mati Airport are completed.

Alongside these developments, an increase in vehicles plying the roads
throughout Davao Oriental and nearby provinces is seen. Hence, the province is
zealously pursuing infrastructure projects and road network expansions to
accommodate the rising number of road users. The goal is to provide safer and
more efficient movement of people, help regulate and manage vehicle traffic, and
ensure the swift delivery of goods and services.

Recognizing the essential role of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the
continuous growth of Davao Oriental, this bill seeks to upgrade to “Class C” the
Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Mati City, affording them additional
resources and personnel. Presently, their office is inundated with at least 10%
over its capacity due to their relentless efforts to uphold the rules of the road and
encourage citizens’ engagement to apply for licenses and permits legally. The
upgrade will augment the capacity of the LTO Mati City in response to its current
‘state and accommodate the expected increase in the volume of transactions while
maintaining its efficient and expeditious processes.

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

CONVERTING THE D. AQUINO STREET IN CALOOCAN CITY INTO A.
NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

D. Aquino is a major arterial road in Caloocan City linking 9" Avenue to 5" Avenue and
‘major thoroughfares leading to E. De Los Santos Avenue. It is a buzzing commercial stretch
and one of the hubs of Caloocan City's transportation and business activities. It paves the way
for improved trade and commerce and faster delivery of services in Caloocan City by
enhancing the movement of commuters and goods from the surrounding localities.

Appropriate funding source for maintenance and continuous improvement and
rehabilitation of D. Aquino Street, however, is necessary for the general welfare of commuters
plying the route.

Hence, the conversion of D. Aquino Street into a national road will greatly contribute
to the economic growth and development not only of the areas surrounding it, but also of the
greater CAMANAVA area. Economically depressed barangays which are traversed along the
road will have an efficient access to mass transportation and the viability of trade and
commerce will be greatly enhanced. Vital to government programs and services on education,
health, energy, health, employment, livelihood and infrastructure can be delivered and
administered at a faster grind, thus alleviating the plight of the marginalized urban poor
residents in the area,

With its conversion into a national road, from the national government through the
Department Public Works and Highways can now be channeled to accelerate the continuous
improvement of D. Aquino Street.

In view thereof, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) has designated October 5 of every year as World Teachers' Day to
celebrate the crucial role of teachers in guiding children and adolescents through the
learning process.
Republic  Act No.  10743 also declared Octobe-r 5 of every year as National
Teachers' Day to pay tribute to those engaged in the teaching profession.
In the General Appropriations Act of 2019, Congress initiated the grant of a
World Teachers' Day Incentive Benefit (WTDIB), in the amount of One Thousand
Pesos (P1,000), which was given to every public school teacher on October 5 of that
year, based on guidelines issued by the Department of Education (DepEd).
The rsoo rnillion total appropriation for the incentive was tucked into the
DepEd's 2019 budget.
Since then, Congress has sustained the annual funding required for the WTDIB
at a rate of P1,000 per teacher.
This bill now seeks to increase to Three Thousand Pesos qu,000) the amount of
the grant to be given to each teacher every October 5, and to make permanent by
legislation the yearly grant of the WTDIB.
The increase is meant to augment the value of the incentive.

Introduced by Representative Joseph Gilbert F. Violago 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
According to the 1987 Constitution, one of the territorial and political 
subdivisions of the Republic of the Philippines is the barangay. (Art. X, Sec. 1). 
Republic Act No. 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of the 
Philippines states that barangays shall provide (i) agricultural support services; (ii) health 
and social welfare services which include maintenance of Barangay health center and 
day-care center; (iii) services and facilities related to general hygiene and sanitation, 
beautification, and solid waste collection; (iv) Maintenance of Katarungang 
Pambarangay; (v) maintenance ofBarangay roads and bridges and water supply systems 
(vi) Infrastructure facilities such as multi- purpose hall, multipurpose pavement, plaza,
sports center, and other similar facilities; (vii) information and reading center; and (viii)
Satellite or public market, where viable, among others. (Sec. 17)
Since the barangay is the most basic political subdivision, it functions as the 
government's frontline force in the delivery of its essential services. The barangay 
officials, therefore, are at the forefront to ensure the general welfare of the people. Thus, 
their public service should be properly compensated, in the form of a lumpsum 
retirement pay. 
For this reason, this bill seeks to provide all barangay officials including barangay 
tanods, members of the lupon ng tagapamayapa and barangay day care workers, a 
lumpsum retirement pay equivalent to one (1) year honorarium, provided that a retiree 
is at least fifty-six ( 56) years of age with a minimum of nine (9) years in service at the 
time of the retirement. Likewise, a barangay retirement fund is established in order to 
finance this endeavor. 
Similar versions of this commendable bill were filed in the previous Congresses 
and the present proponent acknowledges the hard work and wisdom of his predecessors. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

According to the 1956 Magsaysay Credo, "[G]ovemment starts at the bottom and 
moves upward, for government exists for the welfare of the masses of the nation." 
The 1987 Constitution provides that The State shall promote a just and dynamic 
social order that will ensure the prosperity and independence of the nation and free the 
people from poverty through policies that provide adequate social services, promote full 
employment, a rising standard of living, and an improved quality of life for all. (Art. II, 
Sec. 9) Likewise, the State's duty to care for its elderly members may be through just 
programs of social security. (Art. XV, Sec. 4) 
This bill seeks to grant senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) with 
travel tax discount of 20% in order to lessen their financial burden when travelling, 
especially for emergency or health reasons. Consequently, they can instead use their 
money for more important goods and services. 
A similar version of this commendable bill was approved on Third and Final 
Reading in the 17th Congress and was transmitted to the Senate; however, the same was

Cagayan de Oro City is a 1st class highly urbanized city in Northern Mindanao. It is the capital 
of the province of Misamis Oriental. According to date from the Philippines Statistics Authority, 
it has a population of 728,402. 
Cagayan de Oro is also considered the regional center and business hub of Northern 
Mindanao. Business and trade in the City are booming bringing with it numerous investment 
and development opportunities.  
Cagayan de Oro was previously cited by the United Nations as an “emerging city of tomorrow” 
and was previously named by the Department of Trade and Industry as the country's “Top 5 
Most Competitive City”. 
With this and the increasing population, unfortunately, the Courts in the City are being 
overwhelmed, resulting in the unintentional violation of the people’s right to “a speedy 
disposition of their cases before all judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative bodies”. 
Hence, this proposed bill to create an additional two (2) branches of the Municipal Trial Court

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
According to the UNICEF, road traffic injury has become deadlier than 
HIV/ AIDS, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases, killing an estimated 1.35 million people 
each year globally. In the Philippine setting, there are an estimated 35 road crash 
fatalities each day or around 12,690 fatalities annually.1 Children and young individuals 
are especially vulnerable to road accidents; as it is reported that there is an increasing 
incidence of injuries involving children from when they start going to school at 5 years 
old.2 
This bill aims to integrate road safety education in the K to 12 curriculum. As 
several other jurisdictions already included road safety education in their schools' 
curricula - such as lessons on pedestrian, passenger, and wheels safety, as well as on 
future drivers -it is ideal and proper that the same be incorporated in the schools here in 
the Philippines. This bill envisions that the riding public, drivers, pedestrians, and the 
general public will be apprised of traffic rules and regulations, proper road etiquette and 
courtesy at an early age or during their formative years - thus, promoting safe roads and 
ultimately, saving lives. 
Similar versions of this commendable bill were filed before the 17tl1 and 18th 
Congress and the present proponent acknowledges the hard work and wisdom of his 
predecessors. 
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Roads and road networks are essential to the growth and prosperity of any nation.
Connecting people and places, goods and services in a secure, dependable, and efficient
‘manner is essential for achieving and sustaining inclusive and sustainable growth across
society and the economy.

In the Second District of Caloocan, Dagat-dagatan Avenue is a major thoroughfare
used by motorists, commuters, and traders as an access road from C3 Road to C4 road, and
vice versa.

Given that Dagat-Dagatan Avenue connects two major arterial national roads and
‘several densely populated cities in Metro Manila, it is imperative that the Department of Public
Works and Highways, which possesses the necessary technical capacity and resources, be
in charge of its improvement, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. This can only be
‘accomplished by designating Dagat-Dagatan Avenue as a national road, which is the intent
of this house bill

In view of the foregoing, early passage of the bill is urgently sought.

HOUSE BILL No. 7956
Introduced by HON. ARNULF BRYAN 8. FUENTEBELLA
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to formally  upgrade classification of Partido District Office of the
Land Transportation Office (LTO) from Class "D" to Class "C" district office.
As the  LTO office covering  the 4th district of Camarines  Sur,  composed of ten
(10)  municipalities,  they  cater to  over an  average  of 462,770  based  on  2020  PSA
Census.   For  the  past  three  years,   it  averaged  a  revenue  collection  of  Php  34,
090,058.03 and had an average annual transaction of 46,959.
LTO Partido District Office is currently classified as a class D district office with
a  workforce  consisting  of  only  eight  (8)   plantilla  positions.   It  provides  Licensing,
Registration, Adjudication, and Law Enforcement services.
Upgrading the classification of LTO Partido District Office into a Class C district
office will  result to fourteen  (14)  plantilla  positions and thereby creating an additional
six  (6)  plantilla  positions  to  its  current  personnel  complement.  With  the  change  in
classification and the consequent addition of personnel,  the clients from  Partido and
its nearby municipalities will primarily be benefited by an enhanced and more efficient
public services  and  faster  processing  time  of transactions.  Consequently,  a  higher
revenue collection is also expected.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

AN ACT
CONVERTING THE A. DE JESUS AVENUE IN CALOOCAN CITY INTO
A NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Road networks that are well planned, constructed, and maintained are crucial to a
nation's socioeconomic development and recovery, especially now that the new normal has
been established. Roads facilitate effective and profitable economic activities, which will
stimulate economic growth and create much-needed employment for the Filipino people.
Consequently, it is essential that these roads connecting our cities, municipalities, provinces,
and islands be maintained, improved, and repaired to ensure optimal use.

A. De Jesus Avenue is a city road in the Second District of Caloocan City that stretches
over 1.430 kilometers from CR Road to Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA). It provides
access to the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas for EDSA-bound drivers and
motorists.

Given that A. De Jesus Avenue connects a major national thoroughfare to a number
of densely populated and highly urbanized cities, itis imperative that the Department of Public
Works and Highways, which possesses the necessary technical capacity and resources, be
responsible for its improvement, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. This can only be
achieved by designating A. De Jesus Avenue as a national road, hence the intent of this house
bill

In view of the foregoing, early passage of the bill is urgently sought.

the Province of Dinagat Islands into a national road

The existing roadway of R.E. Ecleo, Sr. (Upper) Laguna, with its length of 3.62 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.

R.E, Ecleo, Sr. (Upper) Laguna Road is currently classified as a provincial 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 R.E. Ecleo, Sr. (Upper) Laguna 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 earnestly sought.
