SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS
FIRST REGULAR SESSION

House BILL No._4910

Introduced by Honorable Oscar “Richard” S. Garin, Jr.
1* District, lloilo

“AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM
BARANGAY PARARA, MUNICIPALITY OF TIGBAUAN TO
BARANGAY JAMOG, MUNICIPALITY OF LEON, ALL OF THE
PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The road section covered by this bill is the Parara-Jamog Provincial Road. It is a
provincial road that runs for 12.236 kilometers, traversing from Brgy. Parara Sur,
Tigbauan, Iloilo and passes through several barangays of the Municipality, thence
adjoins the Tubungan-Leon Road.

This is a vital road section as it connects at least twelve (12) barangays of Tigbauan,
Iloilo, five (5) barangays of Tubungan, lloilo, and about five (5) barangays of Leon,
lloilo. Also, this road section connects the town proper of all three (3) afore-
mentioned municipalities. Furthermore, this road section connects via short route
the Municipality of Tigbauan to the Leon-San Remegio Road which connects the
provinces of lloilo and Antique. Most significantly, this road section served as the
only viable alternate route from Antique to Iloilo when the Sibalom Bridge along the
national highway in Brgy. Parara Norte, Tigbauan collapsed in 1995 due to Typhoon
Pepang. Owing to its strategic location, the road section will best serve its purpose if
upgrading and maintenance thereof is delegated to the Department of Public Works
and Highways.

This proposed measure is likewise premised on the plenary power of the Congress
of the Republic of the Philippines as enshrined in Section 1, Article VI of the 1987
Constitution of the Philippines, thus:


“Section 1. The legislative power shall be vested in the Congress of the
Philippines which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives,
except to the extent reserved to the people by the provision on initiative and
referendum.”

Broadly stated, the power Congress to legislate is all-encompassing, limited only by
our constitution. It appearing that there is no constitutional impediment attending
herein, the proponent respectfully prays that this proposed legislation be given due
consideration.
