EXPLANATORY NOTE

The issuance of then President Corazon C. Aquino of Executive Order 429 designating
Pagadian City as the Regional Center for the Zamboanga Peninsula Region is indeed a big help
to the economic development of Pagadian City including its neighboring Local Government
Units (LGUs) in the 1 Legislative District of the Province of Zamboanga del Sur.

To date, the City of Pagadian enjoys the distinction of having the most numbers of
shopping centers/malls in the entire Region IX. Thus, Pagadian City is now frequented not only
by shoppers from nearby areas but including businessmen and suppliers eager to do business in
this bustling capital

With this growth however, comes also the problem on traffic congestions. However, in
order to sustain this development, there is a necessity to develop more road networks connecting
Pagadian City to other Local Government Units (LGUs) so as to spur development not only in
Pagadian City but also in other areas.

Anyway, investing in road infrastructures such as road networks will provide good,
dependable transportation that will allow businesses to receive inputs to production facilities and
to transport finished goods to market in an efficient manner. It also allows companies to lower
transportation costs, which lowers production costs and enhances productivity and_profits
therefore contributing economic benefits to national productivity and employment.

Therefore, this Representation is proposing for the Conversion of the road stretching
from Brgy. Tawagan Norte, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur passing through the Municipality of
Midsalip to Brey, Datagan, Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur into a national road, to be known as the
Labangan ~ Bayog National Highway.

Immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought. ]
