HOUSE BILL NO..

Introduced by Honorable JORGE T. ALMONTE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the 17.68 kilometer Sapang Dalaga Municipal Road
situated in the Municipality Sapang Dalaga, Province of Misamis Occidental and
Concepcion Provincial Road situated in the Municipality of Concepcion, Province of
Misamis Occidental into a National Secondary road to be known and referred to as
the “Sapang Dalaga-Concepcion Road”.

The passage of this bill would primarily ensure adequate economic benefits
not only in the Province but as well as in the neighboring Regions. This national
secondary road will surely improve the tourism industry (preservation of the
province's historical and cultural heritage, stimulation of various economic activities,
and creation of job's and livelihood opportunities) and will facilitate fast and efficient
transfer of goods and services in the Province. More then, the conversion will also
provide easy access to the adjacent municipalities of Libertad and Mutia and the City
of Dapitan located in Zamboanga del Norte,

Thus, there is an urgent need to convert the said provincial road into a
National Secondary road to continuously make it as a vital route to be properly
maintained by the national government for the greater benefit of the people

particularly the less fortunate residents living in the remote yee
