EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 9 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that "The State 
shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and 
independence of the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that 
provide adequate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, 
and an improved quality of life for all."
The International Labour Organization (ILO) discussed in its paper that access is 
a key determinant on poverty. Without physical access rural communities face much 
greater obstacles in obtaining health, education and other social services. Investments 
in rural roads have significant potential for the use of local resources, create decent 
jobs, support the local economy and strengthen local commerce and have therefore 
important implications for poverty reduction and local economic and social 
development.
According to the Philippine GIS (PhilGIS), Abra's economy is agriculture-based. 
Its major crops are rice, com, and root crops; commercial products include coffee, 
tobacco, and coconut. Extensive grassland and pasture areas are used for livestock 
production. Indeed, the promising performance of the agriculture sector in the 
province warrants development of rural road network.
This bill seeks to convert the Tayum-Bucay alternate road that stretches from 
Brgy. Poblacion, Tayum to Brgy. North Poblacion, Bucay, all in the Province of Abra, 
into a national road to provide improved access to goods and services which 
contributes to sustainable poverty reduction and further economic growth.
In view of the foregoing, the expeditious passage of this bill Is earnestly sought.
