House Bill No. ____ 
Introduced by HONORABLE STELLA LUZ A. QUIMBO 
AN ACT RENAMING AMANG RODRIGUEZ MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER TO 
AMANG RODRIGUEZ MEDICAL CENTER 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center (ARMMC), originally the Eulogio 
Rodriguez Sr. Memorial Hospital, was established in 1964 as a provincial hospital to 
provide healthcare to the residents of Marikina City and neighboring areas in Rizal. With 
the passage of Republic Act No. 8019 in 1995, it was upgraded to a full-fledged medical 
center and renamed the ‘Amang’ Rodriguez Medical Center. In 2006, Republic Act No. 
9419 was passed to increase the facility’s bed capacity. It is due to this law that the 
facility now goes by ‘Amang’ Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center.  
At present, ARMMC is a teaching and training center and the only tertial healthcare 
facility in Marikina City. It is fully departmentalized and equipped with services in the 
fields of Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Surgery, Anesthesia, Pathology, 
Radiology, and Dentistry. It caters not only to the people of Marikina, but also to those 
in towns within Rizal and other parts of Metro Manila.  
This bill seeks to rename ARMMC to Amang Rodriguez Medical Center, as originally 
provided in Republic Act No. 8019. The inclusion of “Memorial” in the hospital’s name 
has a negative connotation among the constituency, causing people to associate it with 
death despite its actual high quality of services and facilities. This misconception has 
caused people in need of attention to refuse treatment at the hospital. Reverting its name 
to Amang Rodriguez Medical Center is therefore in the stakeholders’ best interest.  
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article XlV, Section 19 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that:
The State shall promote physical education and
encourage sporls programs, league competitions, and
amateur sports, including training for international
competitions, to foster self-discipline, teamwork, and
excellence for the development of a healthy and alert
citizenry
lnvolvement in sports is very important for everyone specially the children. lt helps in
strengthening and toning the muscles and bones in the body. lt teaches kids the importance
of team works and they learn to work in groups at an early age and hopefully they can use it
when they actually start working and start to build relationships.
Also, sports make people mentally strong because it teaches about success and failure
which is an important life lesson. lt build confidence and enhances the decision making
process of individuals.
Aside from these, participating in sports is a very constructive use of time instead of
just lounging around which could sometimes leads children and even adults to the use of
prohibited drugs.
As such, it is important for a city to have a sports complex where its citizens can actively
participate in different sports programs and where they can spend their free time constructively
by working out, building relationships and improving one's personal health.
ln view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly requested-

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Mexico - Magalang Provincial Road, which connects the

NATIONAL ROAD 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The bill seeks to convert the city road, J. Molina Street, traversing Barangay 
Concepcion Uno in the Second District, City of Marikina, into a national road. 
Roads enhance economic activities as they promote mobility and accessibility of 
the people, thus, opening a horizon of economic possibilities, business opportunities 
and better employment. Roads which have been established need to be maintained and 
repaired when necessary to assure that their purposes are fully served. 
By converting J. Molina Street into a national road, it would transfer the 
responsibility of the maintenance to the national government through the Department of 
Public Works and Highways, thus channeling the resources of the city government 
earmarked for the maintenance of the said road to more important projects and 
programs of the city management. 
Thus, the conversion of the said road would greatly improve the quality of life of 
the people in the terms of economic activity, easy accessibility and convenience by 
means of good roads, at the same time allowing the city government to reallocate its 
funds for the creation of the better projects in furtherance of the same. 
In view thereof, the expedient approval of this bill is strongly recommended.

THERETO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to grant Philippine citizenship to KYLE JENNERMANN and giving him all 
the rights and privileges as well as the duties and obligations appurtenant thereto under our 
Constitution and existing laws. 
Kyle Jennermann is a Canadian national who found himself enamored with the Philippines. 
He firmly believes that the world would be a better place to live if people around the world 
make the Philippines a part of their lives in one way or another. 
Stuck with this belief, “Kulas”, which is the nickname that Jennermann was given several 
years ago by one of the manongs whom he met in one of his travels, lived with a purpose: 
introduce the Philippines to the rest of the world through the internet with his vlogs. He set 
up the YouTube channel called “Becoming Filipino” in order to accomplish this, and 
through time, effort, and his love for the country, he has become an internet sensation with 
close to a million subscribers. Through his vlogs, he has created and published thousands of 
video content showcasing his real-life interactions and connections with the Filipino people 
and their culture all throughout his eight years of immersive travel across eighty (80) out of 
the eighty one (81) provinces. 
In view of Kyle Jennermann’s contributions to the promotion of Filipino culture and 
identity to the rest of the world, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
According to the official website of Cagayan de Oro City, the total road length in the
city is 520 kilometers, while there are 29, 93t registered vehicles. This amounts to around
57.56 vehicles per kilometer. This shows that the city has a very high vehicle volume which
leads to horrible traffic jams with some people even reporting that a driver could get stuck in
traffic for 10-15 minutes without moving. And with the current growth that the city is
experiencing, the reputation it is getting as a prime tourist destination and it being considered
as the gateway to Northern Mindanao, it is guaranteed that these numbers would also rise
leading to the traffic situation getting worse.
As such, there is a need to improve the current conditions of the roads and bridges in
the City. One such bridge that needs to be improved is the Ysalina Bridge, the bridge that
connects the lstdistrict to the 2nd district of Cagayan de Oro. The Ysalina Bridge is currently
a two-lane bridge which is not sufficient anymore to the number of vehicles that pass thru it.
The bridge is currently very narrow which causes a bottle-neck that leads to traffic build-up.
Therefore, the expansion ofthe bridge from two lanes to fours lanes is very much needed.
ln view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.

AN ACT
PROVIDING FOR THE CONVERSION OF DAANG KARITON,
DALANDANAN, IN THE CITY OF VALENZUELA, METRO
MANILA INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the city road of Daang Kariton Road, in the City of
Valenzuela, Metro Manila into a national road.

‘The existing roadway is heavily traversed by motorists from local residents
and those from nearby municipalities. In our collective desire to provide for the safety
and convenience of our constituents who ply this route, it is further submitted that
the national government is better equipped to handle the maintenance of this road.
Conversion of this road into a national road would also allow its development to be
in line with the national infrastructure plan which as it stands is highly crucial in
resolving the traffic crisis that is plaguing Metro Manila.

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

EXPLANATORY NOTE

More often than not Barangay Nutrition Scholars, Barangay Health
Workers and Barangay Tanods are being taken lightly despite their contribution
to the execution of the programs promulgated both by the national and local
government. However, during the present health emergency, we learn how to
value their contribution. Their services help the government in the execution of
the programs to control the transmission of Covid-19 Pandemic, but the sad
truth is they were facing such peril without receiving any incentive for their
protection. So much so, they deserve to be called the unsung heroes of these
trying times

This| bill aims to provide our unsung heroes the protection they need, the
reward they deserve and a token that will remind them that they are loved and
valued.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly

sought.

Introduced by Representative SOLOMON R. CHUNGALAO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill was originally filed as House Bill No. 4798 in the 18th Congress on 
September 24, 2019. 
This house measure seeks to convert the provincial road that stretches from 
Barangay Amganad in the Municipality of Banaue, to Barangays Northern 
Cababuyan, Cababuyan, Poblacion and Piwong in the Municipality of Hingyon, all 
in the Province of Ifugao. 
The Nueva Vizcaya-Ifugao-Mt. Province national highway is the only 
primary national highway that passes through the province of Ifugao. In the 
Ifugao section, the road passes through the Municipalities of Lamut, Lagawe, 
Hingyon, and Banaue. On that length, the Hingyon-Banaue portion is very much 
prone to landslides whole year round. Every time that there is heavy downpour of 
rain, the possibility of landslide is extremely high. Landslides frequently occur just 
few hours after heavy rains affect the area. Whenever there are slides, roads are 
closed to traffic isolating the northern part of Ifugao and central Mt. Province 
resulting to paralyzed business, tourism and the local economies of both provinces. 
The urgent need for reclassification of the road stretch’s category is merited 
by the need of an alternate route of the Hingyon-Banaue section of the existing 
July 13, 2022
3:17 pm
1897


national highway in times of total closure from torrent rain-caused landslides to 
avoid total isolation of the abovementioned portions of Ifugao and Mt. Province. 
The proposed conversion arises out of extreme necessity and urgency. 
In view of the foregoing premises, immediate enactment of this bill is 
earnestly sought.
