EXPLANATORY NOTE

Many Filipinos, in the hope of improving their lot and uplifting their economic situation,
turn to the game of chance or lottery. No matter how slim their chances — about one is
to a milion ratio — stil! they would hold on to the flimsy likelihood just so they could pin
their hone on something. If fate would he kind to them. then reqardiess of the
probability, they would hit jackpot. However, if one actuaily bought the winning ticket
but would be unable to claim his winnings because his ticket had been damaged
beyond recognition, then the government would be depriving him of the once-in-a-
lifetime chance to change his life. Hence, this bill recommends for PCSO to review its
tules and regulations and allow presentation of secondary and cir

Introduced by Hon, Juliet Marie D, Ferrer

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

‘The Philippines has just concluded the National and Local Elections last May
9, 2016 which has been very costly for the government. Thus, it will be impractical
to hold another election exercise within the same year. Synchronized Barangay and
Sangguniang Kabataan elections to be held on October 31, 2016 should be
postponed to the last Monday of October 2018 to allow the government recover
from the election expenses incurred during the 2016 National and Local Elections.
It will also allow the Commission on Elections to better prepare for the same.

It is also proposed that in succeeding years, the Synchronized Barangay and
Sangguniang Kabataan elections shall not be held in the same year as any national
or local elections. This will avoid overspending on election expenses within any
given year.

It is for these reasons that I seek for the immediate enactment of this law.

HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F. Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill was filed in the Sixteenth Congress as House Bill No. 4922 and was
substituted by House Bill No. 6354. It has been approved for three readings at the
House of Representatives and was transmitted to the Senate of the Philippines on
January 27, 2016. It was subsequently received by the upper House on same date per
House Committee Report No. 00969.

Quezon, Palawan is a first-class municipality located in the southern portion of
Palawan. The municipality is mainly an agricultural town composed of low-rolling
sedimentary hills, mountains, lowlands, rich fishing grounds and caves. The Tabon
Cave, where the Tabon Man, the earliest evidence of man in the Philippines (Homo
Sapiens Sapiens) was found, is within the municipality.

By virtue of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 617, the municipality of Quezon was
created on 15 May 1951. This bill seeks to recognize and declare May 15 of every
year as a special working holiday in the Municipality of Quezon, in commemoration
of the day when it was officially established as a municipality.

The celebration of May 15" of every year as a special working holiday is a call
of the times and a provision for the populace of Quezon to observe the Municipal
Foundation Day.

May 15" of every year would be an opportunity for the people of Quezon to
celebrate their achievements and milestones from the time when the municipality was
created. This is also to fully appreciate their duties and privileges as residents of the
municipality.

Thus, the approval of this bill is earnestly requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Barangay San Juan
and Barangay Concepcion within the Municpality of Libmanan in Camarines Sur, into
a National Road.

Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National Road is
strategically connected to the economic centers within the Province of Camarines
Sur and the Bicol Region and is vital to accelerate development and increase
economic activity within the Second District primarily, and the entire Camarines Sur
and the Bicol Region as a whole.

The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and efficient
transportation of basic goods and the delivery of necessary services. It is projected
that such road conversion shall promote livelihood opportunities, encourage
competitive flow of investment, and ultimately enhance the economic and social
living conditions not just of the people living along such roads, but in the arterial
secondary and tertiary roads that lead to it.

The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to national
roads as prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public Works and
Highways have been substantially met, and the approval of this bill is earnestly

HOUSE BILL NO. ~*~

Introduced by Honorable Roger G. Mercado

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the St. Bernard-Hinunangan provincial road in the
Municipality of St. Bernard, Province of Southern Leyte, into a national road.

The St. Bernard-Hinunangan provincial road is a vital link for transporting farm
produce of the town such as rice, corm, coconuts, vegetables, and fish to nearby
municipalities. However, the said provincial road is now unpassable because of damage
due to floods and ordinary wear and tear. The lack of funds of both the province and the
municipality is the reason the road cannot be repaired and effectively maintained.

The conversion of this provincial road into a national road will enhance economic
activities, afford better employment and stimulate commercial undertakings. Moreover,
the responsibility of its maintenance will be transferred to the national government
through the Department of Public Works and Highways, thus channeling the resources of
the provincial government reserved for the maintenance of the said road to more
important projects and programs of the provincial government.

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

The Poblacion, Rosario-Mahanadiong, Taysan Road is an important thoroughfare linking
the Municipalities of Rosario and Taysan. It is a reliable passageway for the mobility of goods
and services particularly in these two towns, and in the Province of Batangas as a whole. As a
provincial road, its repair and maintenance still remains with the local government
Understandably, the local government has other fiscal priorities and its limitations may affect the

conditions of the aforesaid.

Through the conversion of the Poblacion, Rosario-Mahanadiong, Taysan Road into a
national highway, under the protection and supervision of the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH), the allocation of annual funding from the national government for its

construction, repair and maintenance is ensured.

Introduced by Honorable Roger G. Mercado

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In line with the mandate of the constitution to provide basic education to the
public, the establishment of public high school where it is needed is deemed
necessary. The presence of public schools at a considerable distance from its
potential students could often be associated with the absence of such facility.\

The absence of a public high school in Barangay Poblacion, Malitbog,
Southern Leyte has compelled the residents of the said place to send their children to
distant located schools or to private schools thereby making it costly for the parents to
educate them.

With the high cost of living these days, the money that parents could save in
sending their children to school could go a long way in helping them ride through
economic difficulties

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

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 10 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 Guiwan National High School in Barangay Guiwan,
Zamboanga City, to be known as Guiwan National High School, Barangay Guiwan is
one of the large barangays in the Second District of Zamboanga City with a high number
of elementary graduates produced annually. To pursue their secondary education, these
students need to travel to the nearest existing high schools, Zamboanga City High School
- Main (ZCHS ~ Main) and Maria Clara L. Lobregat National High School (MCLLNHS)
located several kilometers from Barangay Guiwan. Furthermore, ZCHS-Main and
MCLLNHS are already overpopulated and congested

This measure aims to fulfill the Constitutional guarantee, giving Zamboanguenos
education more accessible and at the same time decongesting the overpopulated national
high schools in the area.

Introduced by Honorable ERIC M. MARTINEZ

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Education is essential for everyone. It is the level of education that helps
people earn respect and recognition. Education is an indispensable part of life
both personally and socially. However, the unequal standard of education is still
a major problem that needs to be solved.

When the people of a nation are educated, they would definitely carve
ways to be self-sufficient. An economically independent society is the stepping
stone to combined productivity that leads to economic growth of the nation.

The City of Valenzuela is one of the fast-growing economy and
development site in the National Capital Region, its population grows, and
therefore commensurate to the increase of population, a national high school
in Barangay Ugong must be created and pursued in order to culminate a viable
educational program for the youth. Moreover, Barangay Ugong is one of the
populated Barangay in the Second District of Valenzuela City therefore it needs
a national high school.

On the other hand Eliezer R. De Los Santos (Deceased) was an Associate
Justice of the Court of Appeals and an Alumnus of Far Eastern University
Institute of Law. A noble man that can best portray diligence in studies and
academic excellence. A personification of determination and perseverance that
can best motivate our youth through his exemplary contribution in our justice
system.

As a result of the worthy purpose of this legislation, it is motivating that
this bill creating Justice Eliezer R. De Los Santos High School in Valenzuela City
be approved, with the support of my colleagues.

The approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Hon. Jerry P. Trefias

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert FAJARDO STREET in Iloilo City, presently classified as a

local city road, into a national road.

The road spans a total length of 606.4 lineal meters and is located at the Jaro District of
Hoilo City. It connects the Hoilo-Capiz Road (Old Route) national road and a local road leading
to the Hoilo-Jaro Diversion Road. It serves as an alternate route of vehicles going from Jaro
District to Mandurriao District, allowing the road users to avoid passing through the busy
Mandurriao-Jaro national road.

Fajardo Street crosses through the very busy commercial area of Jaro District in Hloilo
City, where several historical structures and tourist attractions are located. Its conversion into a
national road will definitely help boost commerce in its area and improve access to the historic
tourist sites in the Jaro District. a

schools and hospitals located at the City Proper District. The conversion of Ybiernas Street into a

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Mabuhay, Municipality
of Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Lanao del Norte to be known as the Mabuhay National High
School.

Promoting the right to quality education at all levels is one of the major mandates of
the 1987 Constitution. Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides that:

“The State shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality
education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps 10 make such education
accessible 10 all.”

Situated in the outlying area of the Municipality of Sultan Naga Dimaporo, the nearest
high school is approximately thirteen kilometers away from Barangay Mabuhay. The
establishment of a national high school within the barangay will help decongest other schools
in nearby barangays and more importantly, it will provide better access and opportunity for
the students in the area to secure high school education by reducing the distance, time and
transportation expenses for our constituents.

Consistent with the aforementioned Constitutional provision and in view of the ever-
increasing need for a complete, adequate and integrated system of education, it is imperative
to establish and maintain effective school facilities which will give the youth in the locality
an opportunity to an improved life through meaningful and accessible education.

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

HOUSE BILL No. 2999

Introduced by Rep. Winston “Winnie” Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Accidents on the roads caused by motor vehicles of various classes can be prevented
especially those of Class C vehicle types like those buses or trucks engaged in passenger
service or freight or cargo.

In short, the vehicle itself, depending on its state of maintenance and roadworthiness is the
culprit whenever road accidents happen. The common reasons like faulty brakes, faulty
‘steering, tire blow-outs, among others are heard time and again as the causes.

Let us put an end to accidents to the level that sound vehicle maintenance could guarantee.
This means that before an engine conks out, the owner and/or operation should have
already located the potential source via an honest-to-goodness observance of vehicle
preventive maintenance.

‘Those who ignore this proposed law shall henceforth be made to account as even the most
ordinary vehicular accident could readily claim lives that should not have been waster in the

first place.

fncial losses and
Af vehicle preventive
ich will be dealt with

Thus, to prevent loss of lives, costly indemnities or repairs, related
possible cancellation of licenses or franchises, strict implementation
maintenance has now become a must under risk that violation of
severely.

The immediate passage of this measure is prayed for.

IRABLE LUIS RAYMUND “LRAY” F. VILLAFUERTE, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Barangay Grijalvo in
the Municipality of San Fernando to the Municipality of Bula (Pan Philippine
Highway) all within the Province of Camarines Sur, into a National Road.

Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National Road is
strategically connected to the economic centers within the Province of Camarines
Sur and the Bicol Region and is vital to accelerate development and increase
economic activity within the Second District primarily, and the entire Camarines Sur
and the Bicol Region as a whole

The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and efficient
transportation of basic goods and the delivery of necessary services. It is projected
that such road conversion shall promote livelihood opportunities, encourage
competitive flow of investment, and ultimately enhance the economic and social
living conditions not just of the people living along such roads, but in the arterial
secondary and tertiary roads that lead to it

The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to national
roads as prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public Works and
Highways have been substantially met, and the approval of this bill is earnestly
sought
