Introduced by Representative Rudy S. Caoagdan

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the road connecting barangays Bulatukan and
New Israel in the Municipality of Makilala, Province of Cotabato, into a
national road.

Roads make a crucial contribution to the economic development and
growth of communities. They provide speedy delivery of the basic necessities,
opportunities and important social benefits for the people and their livelihoods.

The Municipality of Makilala was created by virtue of Executive Order
No. 63 issued on September 8, 1954 by then President Ramon Magsaysay. It is
located at the southeast portion of Cotabato and the last town before reaching
Davao del Sur.

At present, the Bulatukan-New Israel Road is Makilala’s gateway to
southeastern Mindanao. It serves as the access road leading to the top tourist
destination in the province, popularly known as the New Israel Eco-Adventure
Tourism Park. Also, New Israel boasts of being an ingress to the periphery of
Mt. Apo National Park. The proposed national road begins at Barangay
Bulatukan and ends at Barangay New Israel. The proposed conversion into a
national road of the 4.5 kilometer Bulatukan-New Israel road will spur the
tourism industry and stimulate the economic development in the barangays
traversed by the said road.

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

Introduced by REP. ANGELICA NATASHA A. CO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

For decades, Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) have been a major force in the
promotion of primary health care in every Filipino community, especially in far
flung areas where medical doctors and other health professionals are not present.
They fill the gap in the delivery of health services when and where duty calls, even
in the most precarious situations - - out of love and affection to their fellowmen.

For decades they have been known to us simply as volunteers who relentlessly
served in the front lines unselfishly - - saving lives even as they, too, are in peril
or face difficulties and suffer from poverty, sickness and misfortunes wrought
by men and nature.

For decades, they served as healers of our communities, not only of sickness or
disease but of weary hearts and minds - - giving hope even as they, too, are in
distraught -- but courage they must show to revive enthusiasm and lift the
community spirit to strive and persist against all odds.

Barangay Health Workers are guardians of the nation's health worthy of
emulation as patriots. Their role and contribution cannot be overemphasized
and it is only fitting that we honor them by celebrating their heroic deeds.

In this light, this bill proposes to declare April 7 of every year as Barangay Health
Workers Day which coincides with the World Health Day to mark the anniversary
of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948. On this day, it is
proposed that simple ceremonies or activities may be held by concerned national
government agencies and local government units to highlight the BHWs
indispensable role to barangay health and wellness across the nation.

The immediate approval of this proposed legislation is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Honorable Nestor B. Fongwan, Sr.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Benguet National High School- Bineng Annex located at
Barangay Bineng, Municipality of La Trinidad, Province of Benguet into a national high school
to be known as the Bineng National High School.

Established in 2007 through the initiative of the Municipal Government of La Trinidad to
address the clamour of the residents for a secondary school and in compliance with the
constitutional mandate to make education accessible to all, the Benguet National High School-
Bineng Annex is indeed a big help in the education of the youth in this outskirt barangay of the
municipality of La Trinidad.

In just a decade of existence, number of students swelled as the school attracted students
of neighbouring communities. The continuous increase in school population is a concern that
must be addressed if only to make it a place conducive for learning as we intend to establish an
excellent educational foundation among our youth in this part of the country. Physically, there is
a need to construct additional school buildings for expansion alongside the much-needed
augmentation of personnel, teaching and non-teaching staff.

To meet this growing demand, it is high time that this annex school be separated from its
mother school by converting it into a national high school, thereby allowing its full growth and
development and keeping it abreast to the need of the times, hence this bill.

The Municipality of Pintuyan, Southern Leyte has no institution that caters to tertiary

Pintuyan residents that their town will be able to have a school for college students
someday.

By integrating the existing national vocational high school into the Southem Leyte State

degree program that will cater to the needs of Pintuyan residents through the SLSU-

HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Hon. Cyrille “Beng” Abueg-Zaldivar

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill was previously filed by Representative Frederick F. Abueg as House
Bill (H.B.) No. 05174 in the 16" Congress and as H.B. No. 1786 during the 17"
Congress. Both bills were referred to the Committee on Public Works and Highways.

‘The proposed bill seeks to convert the provincial road traversing from Sitio
Tapsan to Sitio Rolling of Barangay Panitian located in the Municipality of Quezon,
Province of Palawan, into a national road. The town of Quezon is a first-class
municipality and has a population of 55,142, according to the 2010 census conducted
by the then National Statistics Office (NSO). Barangay Panitian is one of the
barangays in the municipality established through Republic Act (R.A.) No. 2593
enacted on June 21, 1959.

Every year, Barangay Panitian has been allotting funds for road gravelling of
the above-mentioned provincial road, which fund comes from its twenty percent
(20%) development fund. However, the amount is a heavy burden to the barangay
whereas the gravel lasts only for about six months. The short-term benefit to the
people in the area does not justify the cost for road maintenance. In short, while the
needed fund increases by hundreds of thousands annually, the actual effect of this
amount is for a short time only.

Moreover, most of the national roads in the Second District of Palawan are
approaching project completion. Hence, we seek to convert more provincial roads into
national roads in order for the national government fund to cover the repair,
maintenance and improvement of the roads. Admittedly, the local and/or provincial
governments of Palawan lack the necessary budget to put road maintenance as their

priority.


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

an environment that could mitigate the effects of such disasters if it is not totally

doing it.

Bernard, Southern Leyte on February 17, 2006 has remained a painful reminder to all
‘of us and those that neglect the destruction of the environment. Guinsaugon Eco-
Adventure Park has been created to promote awareness on the need to protect our
environment. Since environment protection is national concern, it is only proper that
Guinsaugon Eco-Adventure Park should be declared as a national park.

In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is hereby being earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XIV, Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution provides that the State shall
protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall
take necessary and appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. Likewise,
Section 2 of the Constitution mandates the State to establish and maintain a system of
free education in the elementary and high school levels.

Education is the most basic social service that the government can provide its
citizenry. It is an essential requisite for economic growth and the key to nourishing
secure, healthy and productive individuals. This measure, which seeks to establish a
National High School in Barangay Pasilmanta in Zamboanga City, to be known as
Pasilmanta National High School, is a vital step toward this direction.

IGMASANDIG, MUNICIPALITY OF VALDERRAMA, PROVINCE OF ANTIQUE, TO
BE KNOWN AS IGMASANDIG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, APPROPRIATING
FUNDS THEREFOR

Explanatory Note

This bill seeks to establish an elementary school in Barangay Igmasandig,
Municipality of Valderrama in the Lone District of Antique to be known as the
Igamsandig Elementary School.

Currently, there is an existing primary school in Barangay Igmasandig, but the
school is not able to cater to full primary education. Thus, school children still need
to travel to neighboring barangays to fulfill primary education requirements.

As highlighted in the Child and Welfare Code of the Philippines Article 3 paragraph
6, “Every child has the right to an education commensurate with his abilities and to
the development of his skills for the improvement of his capacity for service to
himself and to his fellowmen.” Education is a fundamental human right. Let not one
child be deprived of the opportunity to learn, develop and allow them to be part of the
country’s aim for inclusive growth.

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