AN ACT
CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM BARANGAY CALEPAAN,
MUNICIPALITY OF ASINGAN, PROVINCE OF PANGASINAN TO BARANGAY
PALARIS, MUNICIPALITY OF ASINGAN, PROVINCE OF PANGASINAN INTO A
NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the conversion of the road stretching from Barangay Calepaan
to Barangay Palaris, Municipality of Asingan into a national road.

The improvement and upkeep of infrastructure is critical in promoting
economic growth. Provinces like Pangasinan, which is heavily dependent on
agriculture is reliant on roads for the free flow of its produce from farm to the market.
The regular maintenance and improvement of these roads will help in ensuring an
‘open and easy access for transportation of goods between municipalities and its
nearby provinces.

The Municipality of Asingan, which relies mainly on its agricultural products to
sustain its growth, is dependent on the connecting roads such as the Calepaan Road
up to the stretch of Palaris Road, a main thoroughfare which is vital for the free
movement of people and goods in the area.

Given the limited budgetary allocation of the Province, allocating a significant
amount for the maintaining the conditions of provincial roads may deplete the
financial cupboard of the province, which amount may be used instead in funding
other projects that will support its social service programs.

Considering the foregoing, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
