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."

Montalban (Rodriguez), Rizal is a first class municipality in the province of
Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2020 National Census, it has a population of
443,954 people making it the most populous municipality in the Philippines. Rizal
province is closely connected with Metro Manila but access to the metro has been
challenged by its geographic location.

Montalban is a vibrant community where the citizens have a strong pride
in their community, resiliency through challenges, and concern for the welfare of
all. Montalban is gearing up for further developments in the municipality as
developments in the National Capital Region (NCR) are fast expanding to the east
of NCR. Many residents of the municipality are the backbone of NCR's economy,
providing the support jobs and services needed in the capital. Indeed, improving
an existing road and making it more accessible to locals, especially those in trading
and transportation opens more avenue for further development of the city. One of
the main access roads of the municipality to NCR is the Payatas Road linking it
with Quezon City.

On October 21, 2009, the Department of Public Works and Highways under
DO 54-2009, by its authority, declared Payatas Road, formerly Litex Road, as a
national road. The declaration covers Jct. Batasan Road to End of Rodriguez-San
Jose Road.


This bill seeks to legislate the conversion the Payatas Road connecting
Quezon City and Montalban, into a national road to improve the accessibility of
residents, develop more convenient route in the exchange of goods and services to
and from the locality, and provide more viable economic growth to the community.
‘This bill also seeks to rename Payatas Road into BBM Highway to signify the
importance of the road as the symbol of progress of Montalban linking it with
Quezon City. This would also signify the recovery of Montalban from the
devastating effect of the pandemic and will usher in years of cooperation and
development for both local government units. This will be the symbol of physical
transformation of the new Montalban.

In view of the foregoing, the expeditious passage of this bill is earnestly

sought.
