This bill seeks to declare the 6th of June of every year as a special non-
working holiday in the  Province of Zamboanga del Norte,  to  be known as the
"Araw ng Zamboanga del Norte".
The Province of Zamboanga del Norte was created by virtue of Republic
Act No. 711, which was approved by former President Elpidio Quirino on LJune
6,  1952.  The  said  law  divided  the  Zamboanga  Peninsula into  two  provinces,
namely, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur.
Zamboanga  del   Norte   is   composed   of  two   cities-   Dipolog  City  and
Dapitan City,  25 municipalities, and 691  barangays.  It is the largest province
in  Region  IX,  with  a  total  land  area  of 7,301  square  kilometers,  and  has  a
population  of  1,047,455  based  on  the  2020  census.    It  is  bordered  on  the
north and west by the Sulu Sea, on the northeast by Misamis Occidental, and
on the south by Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay.
The declaration of LJune 6 of every year as a special non-working holiday
in Zamboanga del Norte will enable the residents of the province to honor their
roots and celebrate the rich history of the province.  It will allow the residents
to  take  part  in  the  festive  activities  of the  local  government units,  which  in
turn, will bring the government closer to the people.
It is also noteworthy that several proclamations have been made by the
past Presidents of the Philippines, with the latest being Proclamation No.  1383
of 2022  by  former  President  Rodrigo  Duterte,  declaring June  6  as  a  special
non-working day in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPIANATORY NOTE
The Philippines' geographical location  means that it is prone not only to storm
surges and typhoons,  but also to other natural disasters  such  as  earthquakes  and
volcanic eruptions, Aside from these numerous fortuitous events, the country is also
prone to flooding resulting to millions-worth of damages to property and infrastructure,
loss of livelihood, and even loss of life.
Volunteer responders are modem-day heroes that provide indispensable help
not  only  to  the  local  government  units  but  most  especially  to  the  families  heavily
impacted  by the occurrence of natural  disasters.  Many lives are saved through their
commendable efforts, often at the risk of their own.
Hence,  this  measure  intends to  reward  the valiant  contributions  of volunteer
responders to the society during dire times.  For this purpose, they would be granted
financial,  medical,  and other benefits to incentivize and acknowledge their role in the
service   of  the   Filipino   people   during   times   of  disasters,   calamities,   and   other
emergencies.
The volunteer responders'  selfless efforts and  unmatched  bravery in the face
of dangerous situations deserve to  be  recognized and  rewarded.  In  light of this, the
swift passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPIANATORY NOTE
Teachers  are  given  the  important  responsibility  not  only  of  educating  the
nation's youth  but also with  aiding  in  their growth  and  development into law abiding
and valuable members of our society.
But despite the heavy responsibility entrusted to our teachers, their own well-
being,  particularly  upon  their  retirement,     is  'often  unsecure,  Many  teachers  are
unaware of the options and ways they could improve their own financial security.
Thus,  this  bill  seeks  to  establish  a  financial  planning  education  program  for
public elementary and high school teachers in the country. Through this bill, teachers
could be educated in various financial options available to them. Therefore, teachers
would be able to optimize their savings and secl]re a more solid financial position.
Teachers  are  indispensable  members  of the  society.  Thus,  the  State  should
also  protect  their  rights  and  interest,  The  swift  passage  of  this  bill  is  earnestly
requested.

Ferdinand E.  Marcos was born on September 11,  1917 in Sarrat,  Ilocos
Norte. He became the loth President of the Republic of the Philippines and is the
only President of the country to be elected twice by the people. President Marcos
was then known to have lain the foundation for nation-building, as under his
leadership,  the  country was  way ahead  of its  time  in  agriculture,  education,
infrastructure, energy production, and foreign poliey.
His extraordinary display of leadership and incomparable brilliance serves
as an inspiration to his fellow nocanos. He is a man of vision, action, and wisdom.
Thus,  it is only necessary that his life,  works,  remarkable achievements,  and
inherent love for his fellow Ilocanos be remembered.
This measure was approved on Third and Final Reading during the 17th
Congress, and was likewise approved by the House of Representatives during the
18th Congress. However, it remained on "pending" status to the Senate. Therefore,
this current course of action is meant to further thrust this bill to fruition.
In light of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bfll is earnestly

House BILL No._6878

Introduced by: HON. CLAUDE P. BAUTISTA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 2 first paragraph of Republic Act 9155 also known as the “Governance of
Basic Education Act of 2001" clearly provides that ‘It is hereby declared the policy of
the State to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality basic education and
to make such education accessible to all by providing alll Filipino children and free
compulsory education in the elementary level and free education in the high school
level.

One of the Barangays of the Municipality of Malita, Province of Davao Occidental is
Barangay Pangaleon, where most of its inhabitants are from the B'laan tribe whose
source of living is farming. Its nearest secondary school is situated in the adjacent
Barangay which is three (3) kilometers away.

This Bill proposes to formally establish a National High School in Barangay
Pangaleon, Municipality of Malita, Province of Davao Occidental to be known as
Martino Masiwel National High School. There is an evident need for the formal
establishment of the requested high school as it will directly benefit the five hundred
ninety four (194) students in the barangay, with only five teachers and help upgrade
their social and economic status without compromising their safety and well - being

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

___________________________________________________________________ 
Explanatory Note 
This bill seeks to convert the Zabarte  Road located in the First District of 
Caloocan City into a national road.  
This thoroughfare  stretching around 3.3 kilometers in length has served as 
the main road for hundreds of motorists plying across this busy road everyday, 
thus it easily meet the criteria necessary for its conversion into a national 
road. 
The conversion of the Zabarte Road  into a national road will  ensure its proper 
maintenance. Unlike when left under the care of the local government which 
is saddled with broad responsibilities and with limited budget to boot, 
motorists can be assured of its efficiency and reliability in near absolute 
guarantee. 
The Zabarte Road, when properly maintain and improved, could be a major 
contributor in easing or mitigating the traffic problem which is now a 
commonplace in Metro Manila. This will have the effect of enhancing the 
people’s productive time and increase commercial transactions that further 
the economy.   
In view of the foregoing, the immediate consideration and approval of this bill 
is highly recommended.

HOUSE BILL NO. 6895
Introduced by Hon. WILTER YAP PALMA
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Sections  1 and  2, Article  14 of the  1987  Philippine Constitution states that '`The
State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels
and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all; and establish
and  maintain,  and  support a  complete,  adequate and  integrated  system  of education
relevant to the needs of the people and society"
It is an  undeniable fact that access to quality education  is  not a  privilege  but a
fundamental right of any individual regardless of one's race, color or creed. For years, the
Philippine   Government   have   been   doing   all   that   it   could   in   order  to  follow  this
fundamental  principle  and  while  we  still  have  a  long way to go,  it  is  evident that this
herculean task is indeed attainable.
It is for this reason, that this bill seeks to convert the Buug National  High School
within the Municipality of Buug, Pt.ovince of Zamboanga Sibugay into an independent
national  high  school.  Through  its  conversion,  the  prioritization  in the  allotment of the
funds directly from the National Government would be of great help towards addressing
not only the urgent needs of the students but also upholding a high standard of education
that is well deserved by the Sibugaynons.

PROVIDING FOR THE CONVERSION OF LINGAYEN-BINAMEY BAYWALK 
ROAD IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF LINGAYEN AND THE MUNICIPALITY OF 
BINMALEY, ALL IN THE PROVINCE OF PANGASINAN INTO A NATIONAL 
ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert Lingayen-Binmaley Baywalk Road, currently a 20-meter 
highway but soon expanding into a 30-meter highway in the Municipalities of Lingayen and 
Binmaley in the Province of Pangasinan into a National Road. 
With a total length of 8.8 kilometers, the Lingayen-Binmaley Baywalk Road is located 
along the famous Lingayen Gulf and has become an alternate route leading to the Municipality 
of Lingayen and other Municipalities in the First, Second, and Fourth Congressional Districts 
of Pangasinan. As part of its tourism hub and destination, this road has played a significant role 
in the progress and growth of the Municipality of Lingayen. Tourist destinations such as the 
Provincial Capitol Complex and the Limahong Channel Tourism Center can be reached using 
said road. The local food hubs in the bay walk also attract the daily flock of tourists and locals 
in the area. 
Given the increasing number of activities and vehicles passing through, the said road 
would require periodic maintenance which can only be financially sustained by the National 
Government. The Municipality of Lingayen has limited resources to maintain, upgrade, 
improve and rehabilitate the said bay walk on a regular basis. In addition, its conversion to a 
national road will also result to substantial savings by the LGU which can be allocated to 
poverty alleviation projects and other government initiatives with significant socio-economic 
impact. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
