ROXAS, PROVINCE OF ISABELA ROAD INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article X, Section 13 states that, "Local 
government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, 
services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance with 
law." The State needs to significantly improve and develop tourism and economic 
activities in the country.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
convert the Monggayang, Municipality of Aguinaldo, Province of Ifugao Road to the 
Municipality of Isabela Road into a National Road.
The municipalities of Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista are among the municipalities 
that produces first class corn which are delivered and sold to corn traders in the 
province of Isabela. The amount of corn these municipalities produce accounts to 
more or less thirty percent of the reported corn production of the province of Isabela. 
However, during the rainy season, the corn farmers of the municipalities find it difficult 
to transport their harvest and produces to Isabela. Thus, the conversion of this road 
is necessary to facilitate faster and more efficient transportation of essential 
agricultural goods, and the delivery of agricultural services. Moreover, it will promote 
livelihood opportunities, encourage competitive flow of investment, and will enhance 
the economic and social living conditions of the provinces.
In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
