EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the Tayug- Natividad Provincial Road 
in the Municipalities of Tayug and Natividad, Province of Pangasinan, 
provincial road into a national road.  
The 5.095-kilometer Tayug-Natividad provincial road is of 
primary importance to the life and well-being of our constituents not 
only in the towns   and Natividad but also to other neighboring towns 
and provinces. The Municipality of Tayug is home to the famous San 
Flower Maze, and geographically set as center of commercial trade in 
Eastern Pangasinan. The Municipality of Natividad, on the other hand, 
is home to Maranum Falls, a famous tourist destination in 
Pangasinan. Added to it is the famous Natividad Sky Plaza, a public 
park with a giant Christ the Redeemer Statue (pilgrimage site) which 
was built on the hillsides facing the Caraballo Mountains. Connecting 
these two municipalities is the Tayug-Natividad road which adjoins 
two national roads, the San Nicolas-Natividad-San Quintin-Umingan 
National Road and the Pangasinan-Nueva Vizcaya Road on opposite 
ends.  
The Tayug-Natividad road is traversed by motorists coming from 
the different municipalities of Pangasinan, the Province of Nueva Ecija 
(Region III), and the Province of Nueva Vizcaya (Region II). The 
conversion of the Tayug-Natividad road will generate increased 
tourism, agricultural, and other commercial activities in an inter-
regional scale. Its conversion and upkeep in conformity with national 
road standards will spur socio-economic development in Pangasinan 
and neighboring provinces. It will also provide a permanent solution

to the deteriorating condition of the Tayug-Natividad road, a good 
measure which exempts the Province of Pangasinan from having to 
appropriate its annual repair and maintenance funding. 
 
Hence, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
