2nd District, Zamboanga del Sur 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It is the mandate of the State to  protect and promote the right of all 
citizens to quality education at all levels and take appropriate steps to make 
such accessible to all. Further, the State shall establish and maintain a system 
of free public education in the high school level. 
San Pablo National High School - Sacbulan Extension High School has 
a considerable number of enrollees for secondary education every year. Its 
operation is entirely dependent from its mother school, San Pablo National High 
School.   
Its separation from the mother school and its conversion into independent 
national high school will address its need in terms of funds, management, and 
operation. 
Hence, for these reasons, this bill seeks to separate the existing San 
Pablo National High School – Sacbulan Extension in Barangay Sacbulan, 
Municipality of San Pablo, Province of Zamboanga del Sur from San Pablo 
National High School and to convert it into an independent national high school 
to be known as Sacbulan National High School. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Representative Shernee A. Tan-Tambut

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Bato Ugis-Lower Talipao Provincial Road,
traversing the municipalities of Maimbung and Talipao, Province of Sulu, into a
national road.

The Bato Ugis-Lower Talipao Provincial Road has a length of 10.39
kilometers. It is part of the Sulu Island Circumferential Road which serves as a
key thoroughfare in the Province of Sulu as it connects the coastal municipalities
of the province to the capital town of Jolo, particularly the Jolo Port and Jolo
Airport. The people of Sulu use the road to access the different municipal ports
and transport commodities and products of the province to other economic centers
outside the province, like Isabela City in Basilan and Zamboanga City, and the
port of Bongao in Tawi Tawi. The Sulu Circumferential Road and its arterial
roads also connect to some beaches and recreational resorts that are potential
tourist destinations.

The conversion of the Bato Ugis-Lower Talipao Provincial Road into a
national road will facilitate the easy movement of goods, people and services
because the road will be efficiently maintained by the Department of Public
Works and Highways.

Aside from the economic benefits, the conversion of the provincial road
into a national road will also help attain genuine peace and order in the province
as law enforcement personnel may speedily and safely traverse the area.

Given the indispensable nature of the Bato Ugis-Lower Talipao Provincial
Road to the inhabitants of the municipalities of Maimbung and Talipao in the
Province of Sulu, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This proposed bill aims to convert the San Jose-Bangga Dama road connecting the 
Municipalities of San Miguel and Sta. Barbara in the Province of Iloilo into a National Road. 
Linking the Municipality of San Miguel, which includes the surrounding Municipalities of Leon, 
Alimodian and Oton to the Municipality of Sta. Barbara and Pavia, this road also serves as a 
bypass road from the mentioned municipalities to the Iloilo International Airport located at the 
Sta. Barbara-Cabatuan Area.  
This road also passes through the Western Visayas Sanitarium and General Hospital and the 
Iloilo Golf and Country Club in the Municipality of Sta. Barbara. Therefore the regular 
maintenance of this road is essential in the improvement of road networks and transportation, 
movements of goods and produce, accessibility to health care and the continued development of 
tourism in the area. 
The improvement of road networks is essential in uplifting the way of life and economic stability 
of the involved municipalities by ensuring the point to point accessibility and to provide 
shortened and quality travel time.  
Furthermore, the responsibility of the improvement, maintenance and repair needs a much 
secured boost in safeguarding the consistent implementation of infrastructure development.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is 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. 
This bill proposes to create Lunzuran National High School in Barangay 
Lunzuran, Zamboanga City, to be known as Lunzuran National High School. The 
establishment of Lunzuran National High School will benefit not only Barangay 
Lunzuran but also nearby Barangays of Lumbangan and Lumayang in the Second 
District of Zamboanga City. Due to the high number of elementary graduates 
produced annually from these barangays, the need to create a new national high 
school becomes a priority. In order to pursue secondary education, these students 
travel to the nearest existing high schools located in the Barangays of Putik, 
Divisoria, or other private schools.  
This measure aims to provide Zamboangueños access to quality education 
and, at the same time, decongest the overpopulated national high schools in the 
abovementioned barangays.  
In view of the foregoing reasons, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPIANATORY NOTE
The State's goal of improving the quality of education in the country would not
be considered attained if education remains inaccessible to many Filipinos, particularly
those  who   are   in   the   far-flung   areas  without   proper   roads.   Making   education
accessible to all  at all  levels also  entails  physical  access to schools  and  academic
institutions.
Therefore,   improving  access  to  schools  through  roads  and  bridges  would
encourage   more   students   to   pursue   their   education,   reducing   the   number   of
uneducated and illiterate in our country.
This  bill,  which  had  been  filed  during  the  17th  Congress  by  Rep.  Salvador
Belaro, seeks to make all public elementary and high schools in the country accessible
to all through the creation of roads and bridges leading to these institutions.

HOUSE BILL No, 4748

Introduced by Representative Shernee A. Tan-Tambut

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Jolo Busbus-Mauboh Provincial Road
traversing the municipalities of Jolo and Patikul in the Province of Sulu, into a
national road.

The Jolo Busbus-Mauboh Provincial Road is an integral part of the Sulu
Island Circumferential Road, a major thoroughfare in Sulu. The province has an
agricultural land mass of 94,500 hectares, and predominantly, agriculture is the
main driver of its economy. Its fertile land and ideal climate can grow various
crops and exotic fruits, with coconuts and cassava as its major crops.

Aside from agriculture, tourism may be the next driver of its economy.
Sulu is home to unspoiled white sand beaches considered among the best in the
world. There are also historical landmarks and sites for the artistic and
adventurous.

An efficient and reliable land transport network is vital to stimulate
economic and agricultural growth, especially for tourism and the transfer of
agricultural goods. Improving the road network in rural areas is indispensable in
its development. Improved and well-maintained road networks will help reduce
the distance between people, markets, and services, and reduce the problems in
the transportation of goods.

The conversion of the Jolo Busbus-Mauboh Provincial Road into a national
road will have a significant impact on the economic development of the province.
The provincial government of Sulu has made efforts to improve the road networks
in the islands over the past few years. However, the rapid influx of visitors and


economic activities makes it imperative that the maintenance and improvement
of this road be made by the national government.

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

EXPIANATORY NOTE
As the landscape of education faces significant and crucial changes not only in
the country but across the globe,  it is important that the Philippines keep up with the
technological advances pertinent in the delivery of learning and knowledge. Computer
skills and internet literacy cease to be optional skills but are now a must for students.
Despite  the  importance  of  computers  and  the  internet,   most  of  the  public
schools  in  the  country  do  not  have  the  capacity  to  conduct  computer and  internet
literacy training  because they  lack the facilities and equipment to do so.  Therefore,
providing computer laboratories to our public schools would be invaluable, especially
if we wish to ensure our students are well-equipped with skills that would give them a
global competitive advantage.
This  bill,  which  had  been  filed  during  the  17th  Congress  by  Rep.  Salvador
Belaro,   seeks   to   establish   a   computer  and   internet   laboratory   in   every   public

Introduced by HONORABLE ERNESTO “ERNIX” M. DIONISIO, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The primary goal of our correctional system is the rehabilitation of offenders in
the hopes that after serving their sentence, they can be productive members of our
society. Part of this process of rehabilitating offenders must be in providing them with
the necessary education and training so they can take an active part in society.

This bill proposes for a more institutionalized skills development program to be
adopted to benefit inmates. This is to further facilitate their reintegration into the
workforce by allowing them to acquire or improve their skills. It is hoped that with the
passage of this bill, they may be properly assisted in uplifting their economic status.

With this, the passage of this bill is highly sought.

House Bill No. ________________ 
Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE EMIGDIO P. TANJUATCO III 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the JICA Highway Provincial Road to a National Road in the Province 
of Rizal. Considering the highway’s contribution serving as a major commercial route to all 
types of vehicles and the evident fact that its transformation will abbreviate the travelling time 
and distance route from Metro Manila, and other neighboring provinces, to the Rizal Province, 
the conversion of JICA Highway into a national road becomes a necessity. 
The JICA highway traverses the coastal barangays of the Municipalities of Jalajala, Pilillia, and 
Baras in the Province of Rizal. A significant tourism access road that ushers to the homespun 
vibe and rustic sceneries of the various towns of the province.  
The conversion will further boost tourism development for the entire province of Rizal, 
particularly, in Barangay Bayugo and Punta, where some main attractions in Jalajala are 
located; 
Given the continuity of development in the Municipality of Jalajala and the relevant 
municipalities in general, of the Second District of Rizal, there will be an unavoidable increase 
of vehicle density, thus exposing JICA Highway to major utilization. This road conversion is 
well-appreciated development given the growing resources required for the highway’s upkeep 
and maintenance. 
Furthermore, the improved accessibility and ease of transport, promised by the conversion, 
will attract more stakeholders to invest on Eco-Tourism business in the province, thus, creating 
more revenues for the aforementioned municipalities in the district. 
Given the notable positive impact in the lives of the residents of the relevant municipalities and 
the socio-economic benefits that the conversion will create, the immediate passage of this bill 
is earnestly sought

HOUSE BILL NO. 4524

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Villasis-Asingan Provincial Road in
the Municipalities of Asingan and Villasis, Province of Pangasinan, from
provincial into a national road.

The Villasis-Asingan Provincial Road is a vital link connecting the
Municipality of Asingan to the Manila North Road in the Municipality of
Villasis. It is also a major gateway from eastern to western Pangasinan. It
is most compelling that the said road be converted into a national road
because of its huge economic contribution to eastern Pangasinan.

The Municipality of Villasis is a major trading center in the
Province of Pangasinan. The said roadline is a host to commercial
vehicles plying the said route originating from eastern to western
Pangasinan. To afford a greater flexibility in terms of commercial trade
and economic growth, there is a need to convert the said provincial road
into a national road. If converted, theimprovement and maintenance can
be included in the annual budgetary allocation of the Department of
Public Works andHighways (DPWH).Given the budgetary constraints of
the province, it is but fitting that the Villasis-Asingan Provincial Road be
converted into a national road to secure funding for its annual
maintenance and unbind the Province of Pangasinan from its obligation
of having to allocate funds for the annual repair and maintenance of the
Villasis-Asingan Provincial Road.

Introduced by Representative CARLITO “Lito” S. MARQUEZ 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The bill seeks to establish a Service Center of the Professional Regulation 
Commission (PRC) in the Municipality of Kalibo, Province of Aklan. The only office in the 
island is the regional office located at the City of Iloilo, far away from registered 
professionals from Aklan and of its neighboring municipalities. This is to cater the rising 
need of PRC services from an increasing population and graduates which necessitates the 
establishment of a PRC Service Center that is more accessible with less time and lower 
travel costs.  
The PRC Service Center in the Municipality of Kalibo, Aklan will enhance  the 
efficiency in the processing of applications and other transactions. It will also decongest 
workload from the PRC Regional Office in the City of Iloilo.  
Establishing a PRC Service Center will improve delivery of public service and bring 
closer government services to the people, most especially the people of Aklan. Should this 
be approved, the services of the government will be felt and will have direct impact to the 
people in Region VI and to the neighboring local government units.  
In the hopes of realizing a government for the people, the immediate passage of 
this bill is earnestly sought.
