EXPLANATORY NOTE

With the rapid advancement of technology globally, Closed-Circuit Television
(CCTV) system has become economically viable and has now rapidly gaining popularity
in the country. More businesses and private establishments, public buildings, places
and roads and homes have CCTV cameras installed merely for surveillance purposes
The need for 24/7 monitoring system has become necessary due to increasing criminal
incidents happening everywhere.

While CCTV system is significantly used in crime investigation and prevention, it
is likewise advantageous in road surveillance. It provides accurate and real-time traffic
situations and video information of road accidents. Major highways and roads in various
Metro Manila cities and other key local government units (LGUs) nationwide have
installed CCTV system, however there are still thoroughfares plied by Public Utility
Vehicles (PUVs) that needs 24/7 monitoring,

This legislative measure therefore seeks to require the mandatory installation of
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras on roads included in routes of PUVs.
