PAMBANSA BLG. 129, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ‘JUDICIARY 
REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1980’, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to create a Regional Trial Court (RTC) in the Municipality of Sulop, 
Province of Davao Del Sur, covering in its jurisdiction the Municipalities of Sulop, Hagonoy, 
Kiblawan, Padada, and Malalag.  
The 1987 Constitution ensures each person the right to a speedy trial.  It is said that 
justice delayed, is justice denied. However, the increase in the population and the 
corresponding economic growth in the Province of Davao Del Sur inevitably resulted to an 
increase in legal cases, both civil and criminal.  Accordingly, the volume of cases filed and 
currently pending in the two Regional Trial Court branches located in Digos City has also 
increased which also delayed the resolution of these cases.  
The creation of the new RTC to be located in the Municipality of Sulop will remedy 
the legal situation in the Province and will enable for a speedy and just disposition of cases.  
It is for the foregoing reason that the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

This bill seeks to convert the Camalig Bypass Road, in Barangays Salugan, Quirangay, Sua 
and Tumpa, in the Municipality of Camalig, in the Province of Albay into a National Road. 
The maintenance of the road is critical to the sustainable urbanization of the Municipality of 
Camalig, as it diverts traffic from Pan-Philippine Highway, helping ensure the unimpeded flow 
of goods and people around the población area of Camalig by allowing traffic to bypass the 
said area where heavy traffic was always observed especially at daytime. 
Traffic is expected to further build up as the Bicol International Airport becomes operational 
by October 2021, and begins accepting international flights by May 2022. These diversion 
roads ensure that port, airport, and urban traffic do not coincide. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Our people have to grapple not only with the raging Covid-19 pandemic but with rising pump 
prices of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other petroleum products, as well as cooking gas. The 
increase in fuel prices translates into adjustments in the prices of consumer products, and soon, 
in transport fares. Excise tax now stands at P10 per liter for gasoline, P6 per liter for diesel, and 
P5 per liter for kerosene. 
This bill calls for the immediate suspension of the increase in excise taxes on oil products 
imposed under Republic Act No. 10963, or the TRAIN Law, in response to the clamor of 
various sectors for relief from soaring fuel prices. 
Thus, the call for suspending increases in excise taxes under the TRAIN Law. The bill covers 
only the adjustments, not the pre-TRAIN Law excise levies, which the government will 
continue collecting if the proposed suspension is approved.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Cagayan de Oro City is a 1st class highly urbanized city in Northern Mindanao. It is the capital
of the province of Misamis Oriental. According to date from the Philippines Statistics Authority,
it has a population of 728,402

Cagayan de Oro is also considered the regional center and business hub of Northern
Mindanao. Business and trade in the City are booming bringing with it numerous investment
and development opportunities.

Cagayan de Oro was previously cited by the United Nations as an “emerging city of tomorrow”
and was previously named by the Department of Trade and Industry as the country's “Top 5
Most Competitive City’

With this and the increasing population, unfortunately, the Courts in the City are being
‘overwhelmed, resulting in the unintentional violation of the people's right to “a speedy
disposition of their cases before all judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative bodies’.

Hence, this proposed bill to create an additional two (2) branches of the Municipal Trial Court
in Cities in Cagayan de Oro City to address the backlog of cases in the City.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It has been long recognized that the economic development of a region is 
greatly facilitated by its road network. The quality of roads influences regional 
productivity through the facilitation of efficient movement of goods and labor, 
especially for the road network along Brgy. Macalaya to Brgy. Cumadcad, Castilla, 
Sorsogon, which leads to the municipality’s seaport. 
Not only does this facilitate economic development, but also people’s access to 
social, health, and education services of the government. Thus, a well-kept road 
network is crucial in improving the lives of the constituents of the province.  
As the road network connecting Brgy. Cumadcad to Brgy. Macalaya in the 
Municipality of Castilla, Sorsogon is categorized as a Provincial Road, it is maintained 
and rehabilitated by the Province of Sorsogon. The limited resources of the provincial 
government hinder it from sufficiently allocating annually what this vital road 
network actually needs for its upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the abovementioned  Provincial Road into 
a National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department of 
Public Works and Highways with  adequate funding from the national government.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to implement a massive propagation of Mangroves in the province of Ilocos 
Sur. 
With its long coastline, the propagation, planting, cultivation, and development of Mangroves 
areas in the Province of Ilocos Sur should be a long term and sustainable undertaking 
A proven buffer against strong waves and sea soil protection, mangrove plantations are strong 
climate mitigation projects. Mangroves are easy to propagate, and these grow faster than any 
other tree varieties. They thrive best on sandy watery areas and develop thick foliages faster. 
Multilateral funding institutions like the Asian development Bank (ADB) has long encouraged 
the propagation of Mangroves plantations across the Philippine archipelago. With climate 
change on top of nations' minds these days, it is a proactive move to start the propagation 
process. Hence this bill. 
The approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It has been long recognized that the economic development of a region is 
greatly facilitated by its road network. The quality of roads influences regional 
productivity through the facilitation of efficient movement of goods and labor.   Not 
only does this facilitate economic development, but also people’s access to social, 
health, and education services of the government. Thus, a well-kept road network is 
crucial in improving the lives of the constituents of the province.  
As the road network connecting Brgy. Sogoy to Brgy. San Rafael, Municipality 
of Castilla is categorized as a Provincial Road, it is maintained and rehabilitated by 
the Province of Sorsogon. The limited resources of the provincial government hinder 
it from sufficiently allocating annually what this vital road network actually needs for 
its upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the abovementioned Provincial Road into a 
National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department of 
Public Works and Highways with adequate funding from the national government.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Gibalon Shrine, located in the Sitio Gibalon, Brgy. Biton in the Municipality 
of Magallanes, Sorsogon, is a historic location with religious significance and was 
widely believed as the site of the first Christian Mass held in the Island of Luzon in 
1569. 1 For this reason, the historic shrine became a popular tourist destination in the 
said municipality.  
However, the road leading to Brgy. Biton remains a local road maintained and 
rehabilitated by the local government unit. Hence, the limited resources of the 
provincial government hinder it from sufficiently allocating annually what this vital 
road network actually needs for its upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the road network in Brgy. Cawit Extension 
to Brgy. Biton in the Municipality of Magallanes, Sorsogon from being classified as a 
Provincial Road into a National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained 
by the Department of Public Works and Highways with adequate funding from the 
national government.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

CONVERTING THE DARAGA-LEGAZPI DIVERSION ROAD 
IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF DARAGA AND THE CITY OF LEGAZPI, 
ALL IN THE PROVINCE OF ALBAY, INTO A NATIONAL ROAD 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the Daraga-Legazpi Diversion Road, that connects the barangays of 
Tagas, Binitayan and Bañag, in the Municipality of Daraga, and the barangays of Bonot, 
Gogon, Cruzada and Bogtong, in Legazpi City, all in the Province of Albay into a National 
Road. 
The maintenance of the road is critical to the sustainable urbanization of the Metropolitan 
Legazpi area, as it connects densely populated and newly-emerging population centers of 
Legazpi City and the Municipality of Daraga.  
It also diverts traffic from Pan-Philippine Highway, helping ensure the unimpeded flow of 
goods and people to and from the port and downtown areas of Legazpi by allowing traffic to 
bypass these areas and head straight to major population centers such as the Rawis area where 
the Regional Administrative Complex is located, and towards the roads leading to the 
neighboring First District of Albay.  
Traffic is expected to further build up as the Bicol International Airport becomes operational 
by October 2021, and begins accepting international flights by May 2022. These diversion 
roads ensure that port, airport, and urban traffic do not coincide.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.
