EXPLANATORY NOTE

he construction of the Narciso Ramos National Highway has established easier routes for the
commuting public specifically between Cotabato City and Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur. The highway
also serves as connecting routes for some provinces within the Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern
Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, Davao and the ARMM Regions, Undoubtedly, this did not only
Supports the transportation aspect but also contributes to the improvement of peace and order in the
locality. Further, its lasting positive impact is seen more on the economic and tourism growth in
Western Mindanao as movement of people, goods and services were made easier through access of
s road.

In addition, opening of the Zamboanga del Sur Coastal Highway will commence soon and
will provide easier access from the Province of Zamboanga Sibugay and the coastal municipalities of
the 2nd Legislative District of the Province of Zamboanga del Sur up to Dumalinao, Zamboanga de!
Sur.

However, it should be noted that the Narciso Ramos National Highway did not reach
Pagadian City. Its end point is up to Poblacion, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur only. Likewise, the
Zamboanga de! Sur Coastal Road will not also reach Pagadian City but will only be up to Brey
Matab-ang, Dumalinao, Zamboanga del Sur.

‘Therefore, in order to connect the Narciso Ramos National Highway and the Zamboanga del
Sur Coastal Road, sections from Brgy. Poloyagan, Pagadian City to Brgy. Poblacion, Tukuran,
Zamboanga del Sur will have to be opened to connect the existing Narciso Ramos National
Highway fo the Zamboanga del Sur Coastal Highway.

Also, the existing national highway (Lanao - Pagadian City - Zamboanga City Road) passes
‘through the center of the city, immensely contributing heavy traffic into the city's commercial area,
Therefore, opening of the proposed Pagadian City - Tukuran Coastal Highway from Bray
Poloyagan, Pagadian City to Brgy. Poblacion, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur will help address on the
growing traffic problems of Pagadian City. In fact, the Mindanao Development Authority (MINDA)
has already pre-identified that opening of the Pagadian City-Tukuran Coastal Highway is vital to
enhance the economic growth of Zamboanga Peninsula particularly, ~e City which is the
Regional Center of Zamboanga Peninsula,

Hence, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
