16       and the municipalities of Asturias,  Compostela,  and Liloan, Province of Cebu,  into a National
17       Road.

transport network is vital to rural development and is a great part in the stimulation and promotion
of economic  growth.  While  virtual  connectivity  has  become  the  norm  in  urban  development,
improving the road network is vital  to rural  development.  Improved road pavements will help
reduce  the  distance  between  the  people,  markets,  services  and  information.  Further,  well-
maintained road networks will reduce difficulties in the transportation of goods.
25
26                    With the said road conversion, the province and cities of cebu will experience reduced
27       traffic congestion as the speed oftraffic on current highways increases, spanning from the North
28       to the south.
29
3o                    Additionally, residents of Liloan and adjacent towns located along the Eastern seaboard of
31       Cebu will no longer need to utilize Trams-Central Highway in cebu city or Lugo Road in sogod
32       when traveling to the western seaboard ofcebu Island.

There is a strong positive correlation between the economic development and the quality
of its road network. The Provincial Government of cebu made signiflcant efforts to improve road
network in the islands over the past few years. Nevertheless, the rapid influx of domestic and
foreign visitors made it imperative to hasten the improvement of this network.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.
