HOUSE BILL No.3 912

Introduced by Representative Jaime R. Fresnedi
and Rep. Ma, Rene Ann Lourdes G. Matibag

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the stretch of road known as Centennial Avenue (La Guerta-
Arandia Road) situated within Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region,
extending to the Cuyab-San Roque-Poblacion Road in San Pedro City, Laguna, into a National
Road. The road begins at a junction along Daang Maharlika Primary Road in Barangay
Tunasan, Muntinlupa City and extends into the Cuyab-San Roque-Poblacion Road in San
Pedro City, Laguna. Its alignment starts at Centennial Avenue in Muntinlupa and crosses the
Cuyab Bridge which follows the streets of Cuyab, Anchoriz, San Roque, and Cataquiz, ending
at Daang Maharlika (Manila South Road). The subject road has an approximate length of 2,000
linear meters in Muntinlupa and 2,670 linear meters in San Pedro.

According to 2020 Census of Population and Housing, both cities have a combined
population of almost a million people, with 543,445 in Muntinlupa City, and 326,001 in San
Pedro City. Based on the configuration of the road network, the alignment will serve as a by-
pass road which will minimize the traffic volume along the Daang Maharlika and the
intersections of Susan Heights, Maharlika Road and Brgy. Nueva. Considering its vital national
function, it is recommended to convert the two road networks into a continuous National Road
to utilize their fullest potential.

With the increasing numbers of vehicles making use of this road, its maintenance and
improvement can only be supported by the national government. The conversion of the
Centennial Avenue-Cuyab-San Roque- Poblacion Road is beneficial to the movement of
people, goods, and services for the two cities.

In view of the foregoing, the early passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
