HOUSE BILL NO._3699

Introduced by Rep. Sittie Aminah Q. Dimaporo and Rep. Imelda Quibranza Dimaporo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This Bill provides for the construction of a national highway from the junction of the
Linamon ~ Zamboanga Road in Barangay Pigcarangan through Sitio Bucana, Sitio Lamak,
Sitio Aloha, Barangay Sagadan, in the Municipality of Tubod through Barangay Sagadan
Baroy, Barangay Baroy Daku, to the Municipality of Baroy through Barangay Raw-an,
Barangay Gumagamot, Barangay Camalan, Barangay Pacita, Barangay Darumawang
Matampay, Barangay Darumawang Haya, Barangay El Salvador, in the Municipality of Lala,
through Barangay Concepcion, and the Junction of Linamon-Zamboanga National Road at
Barangay Lapinig, in Municipality of Kapatagan shall be constructed under the supervision of
the Department of Public Works and Highways, to be known as Kapatagan Valley Coastal
Road.

Kapatagan is a 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 aforementioned 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.
