HOUSE BILL no.__8206

Introduced by Hon. Rodolfo B. Albano, Napoleon S. Dy,
‘Ana Cristina S. Go and Giorgidi B. Aggabao

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Justice delayed . . . is justice denied.

Since the creation of the sole Regional Trial Court in the Municipality
of Cabagan, Provice of Isabela, the socio-economic climate within its
territorial jurisdiction has tremendously improved. With the rapid
development of telecommunications, vast expansion of public highways and
the continuing population growth in the area, commercial and inter-personal
relationships of the inhabitants of Cabagan and adjoining municipalities
have become more vibrant. This resulted to the increase of court litigations,
further adding to the already clogged docket of the existing Regional Trial

Court of Cabagan
Hence, for the speedy disposition of cases and providing justice to
everyone, and to ease the burden of the sole Regional Trial Court in the

northern part of the Province of Isabela, the immediate creation of additional
branch of the Regional Trial Court stationed in the Municipality of Cabagan,

Province of Isabela is imperative.
