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." Well-maintained roads are important for better transport of goods and services, 
particularly in the rural areas of the country.
The Junction Nueva Estrella - Honrado - Atoyay - Salug road is a vital link to 
the economic and social activities of the Municipality of Socorro. It provides access to 
major tourist and economic destinations in the entire island of Socorro. It is therefore 
important to convert the said road to a national road In order to promote tourism and 
the economic growth in the island.
In this regard, this measure seeks to convert the road stretching from Junction 
Nueva Estrella to Barangay Salug Road in the Municipality of Socorro, Province of 
Surigao del Norte into a national road. Furthermore, this measure will improve and 
appropriate maintenance of the said road to help boost tourism and economic 
development in one of the most beautiful islands in the country.
;
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure earnestly 
sought.
