House Bill No, _9046
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Balubal in Cagayan
de Oro City.

Republic Act 7743 provides for the establishment of “additional public libraries to serve all
congressional districts cities and municipalities in the Philippines and reading centers in every
barangay except in cities or municipalities where there are existing public libraries or in
barangays where there are existing reading centers...”

Further, the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates that municipalities, cities and
provinces maintain a public library as part of their basic services and facilities.

Unfortunately, there is no ful-implementation of the above provisions of law as there are still
many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays with no access to public libraries or
reading centers.

While it would undoubtedly be very costly to put up a public library, especially for a barangay,
an alternative would be to put up an e-library with at least 3 sets of computers with access to
the internet in the barangay halls. This e-library can be used by the public to do research, get
access to e-books and gather valuable knowledge and information.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

its agricultural program and offers undergraduate courses in the areas of business, governance,
teacher education, information technology, and engineering technology. The DSSC-Institute
of Graduate Studies also offers graduate programs in education and business administration.

province who cannot afford private higher education. Its creation addresses the need for access
to quality and affordable education, and prepares the youth of Davao Del Sur to become
partners in nation building

This bill seeks to declare February 21 of every year as a special working holiday for the
DSSC to enable its administrators, teachers, and students to fully participate in the activities
commemorating the day that the first State College in Davao Del Sur was established.

House Bill No. 9235
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a fish port in Barangay Bonbon in the 1* District of Cagayan de
Oro City

There is a need for this proposed fish port because majority of the residents of the barangay
are small-time fisher folks who mainly rely on fish and marine resources for their livelihood
and daily subsistence. It will provide an avenue for trade and give these fisherfolk access to
consumers and vice versa. It will also be a place for the fishermen to refuel, resupply, and dry-
dock their small fishing vessels.

Once established, the fish port facilities will surely uplift the livelihood of fishermen and fish
workers in the barangay and will be a big step in modernizing the fisheries sector which will
lead to sustainable fishing and conservation of fishing grounds.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this meastire is earnestly requested.

Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE ANTONIO “TONYPET” T. ALBANO 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The bill seeks to convert the Ilagan-Divilacan provincial road in the 
Province of Isabela into a national road. 
The Ilagan-Divilacan provincial road starts from Station 2+740, 
Barangay Sindon Bayabo in the City of Ilagan, Isabela, passing through the 
foothills of the 359,486 hectares Northern Sierra Madre ranges, and ends in 
Station 78+226.549, Dicatian Village in the Municipality of Divilacan, 
Isabela. Road construction of Ilagan-Divilacan road started in March 2016 
and it has a length of 75.486549 kilometers.  
 The road is envisioned to enhance the accessibility of the coastal 
towns of Palanan, Divilacan, Maconacon and Dinapigue from the mainland.  
This proposed road conversion is attuned to the mandate of the 
Department of Public Works and Highways to open national road networks 
that serve as vital infrastructure to improve linkages among localities and 
reduce winding routes to and from destinations. This road conversion will 
directly boost socio-economic development in the area as it will open  a 
major artery for more income generating activities related to agriculture, 
tourism, livelihood enterprise and transportation. 
Hence, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly requested.
