~ Introduced by Hon, Victor J. Yu

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The issuance of Executive Order No. 429 designating Pagadian City as the regional
center of Zamboanga Peninsula Region (Region IX) has provided economic impact not only
in the city but including its nearby Local Government Units (LGUs). Right now, buses,
tucks, including big delivery vans are frequently entering, passing and transacting through
the city's business district delivering goods and services, These positive activities are
however contributing to heavy traffic congestions in the city and the nearby areas starting
from the Municipality of Dumalinao to Brgy. Pulacan, Labangan sections of the existing
Lanao - Pagadian City - Zamboanga City National Highway. This is because the existing
national highway has traversed through the heart of the city’s business district,

In order to minimize the negative impact of traffic congestions into the city’s bustling
economy, it is necessary that new road networks will have to be established to serve as
diversion roads so as to accommodate Pagadian City and Region IX’s economic growth

Since there are existing barangay/municipalicity road networks but are not well
developed due to the financial limitations of the concerned Local Government Units (LGUs),
itis the desire of this Representation to convert these roads into a national highway.

In this regard, this Representation is secking for the conversion of the road
stretching from Brgy. Dao, passing through Brgys. Bogo, Kagawasan, Danlugan,
Datagan and Alegria, in the City of Pagadian to Brgys. Sta, Cruz and Bokong in the
Municipality of Labangan, Province of Zamboanga del Sur into a national road to be
known as the “DAO - BOKONG NATIONAL HIGHWAY”. If converted, this road will
connect to the proposed Camalig — Danlugan National Highway and will therefore become an
alternate route providing shorter travel time from Pulacan to Dumalinao skipping Pagadian
City’s business district.

Hence, this representation is requesting for the immediate approval of this measure.
