EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill provides for the construction of a national road from the junction of Lanao del
Norte Interior Circumferential road at Barangay Poblacion, through Barangay Lemoncret,
municipality of Magsaysay, to Barangay San Manuel, Municipality of Lala, to Barangays Pansilan
and Katipunan, Municipality of Sapad, to Barangays Mahayahay, Bel-is, Malinas, Sittio Dao,
Butadon, Bansarvil, and Tipolo, Municipality of Kapatagan, to Barangay Calube, Municipality of
Sultan Naga Dimaporo, to Barangay Lantungan, Municipality of Aurora, Province of Lanao del
Norte into a national road to be known as Higan - Aurora By-pass Road.

Kapatagan is second class municipality in the Province of Lanao del Norte. According to
the 2010 national census, it has a population of 53,916 people. Kapatagan has some rolling hills,
flat coastal lands and valley. It has some major rivers that flow to Panguil Bay. During the rainy
season, these rivers overflow causing floods which result to destruction of farms and even deaths
of farm animals. Because of its distinct topography, the road which the residents of Kapatagan are
presently using to transport manufactured goods and agricultural products traverses steep cliffs
along the mountain area. This road exposes regular commuters to road slips and landslides.

With these compelling reasons, this Bill seeks the construction of Iligan-Aurora National
Highway By-Pass road to provide a safer alternate route. It will also facilitate the expeditious
delivery of basic services and help promote the quality of life of the people in the area.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.
