The existing 21 kilometer Mabini-Pintor-Union, Municipality of Gamu to 
Mangcuram, Lullutan, City of Ilagan provincial road is a vital network which links 
the Municipality of Gamu to the City of Ilagan, Isabela. The road is of great 
importance in the economic, commercial and civic expansion of the fast growing of 
Gamu, Isabela as it provides the shortest seamless connection to the City of Ilagan,

time from the towns of Burgos and Gamu to Ilagan City. It stretches parallel to the 
Santiago-Tuguegarao Road. 
The vital importance of this provincial road is highlighted by the growing needs 
of the communities connected by this stretch. The conversion to national road will 
enhance the exchange of agricultural and industrial goods and commercial services 
between the Municipalities of Burgos and Gamu to the urban centers of Ilagan, 
Isabela. It is converted to a national road. it will be well-maintained and regularly 
paved affording the motorist fast and efficient thoroughfare. 
Just as important, its conversion to a national road will improve access to 
government and commercial services as a well maintained road network will bring 
hospital, churches, markets, academic institutions and commercial establishments 
even closer to the people. 
The Provincial Government of Isabela has limited resources to maintain and 
conduct repairs on the said provincial road on a regular basis. Its conversion to a 
national road will also translate to huge savings on the part of the provincial 
government of Isabela which can now allocate to poverty alleviation projects and 
other government initiatives with significant socio-economic impact. 
Hence, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
