Twentieth Congress 
First Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. 2386 
Introduced by Representative Lordan G. Suan 
AN ACT  
ESTABLISHING LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI ANNEX IN 
MINDANAO AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The proposed legislation aims to establish a Libingan Ng Mga Bayani 
Annex in Mindanao in order to provide our country's heroes with a final resting 
place in the area. Families of these heroes currently living in Mindanao have 
many difficulties and costs when traveling to the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani in 
Luzon. 
It is important to recognize that the current "Libingan Ng Mga Bayani" is 
situated in Luzon, which, considering the logistical and geographic difficulties 
involved in such a trip, can be a stressful experience for the families of our 
soldiers in Mindanao. 
Therefore, it is our government's responsibility to address that disparity by 
establishing a memorial site in Mindanao where the families of our heroes, who 
live in the southern Philippines, would be able to pay their respects and 
memorialize their loved ones. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly 
sought.
