House Bill No._1452 1

Introduced by Representative Gabriel H. Bordado, Jr.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is
responsible for overseeing and regulating public land transportation in the country.
Its different functions, such as issuing franchises, processing permits, and
addressing other transport concerns, are important in keeping our transportation
system safe and efficient. To make these services more accessible, it is important to
set up satellite offices in key areas across the country so that the LTFRB can better
serve commuters and transport stakeholders in every region.

Naga City is a highly urbanized center of commerce, trade, and business in
the Bicol Region. It serves as a key transit hub for commuters, cargo, and public
utility vehicles traveling to and from neighboring provinces and even the Visayan
Region. Given the strategic location of Naga City, the establishment of an LTFRB
satellite office here would significantly ease the challenges currently faced by
transport operators, drivers, and other stakeholders. It would streamline access to
essential regulatory services and enhance the overall efficiency and quality of
transportation services within the region and beyond.

This measure seeks to establish an LTFRB satellite office in Naga City to
address the service gap and ensure that public transportation services in the area
are more efficiently managed and regulated.

The immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
