CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM BARANGAY DOMANPOT AND
POBLACION WEST, MUNICIPALITY OF ASINGAN, PROVINCE OF
PANGASINAN TO BARANGAY POBLACION EAST, MUNICIPALITY OF
ASINGAN, PROVINCE OF PANGASINAN INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill has sseks the conversion of the road stretching from Barangay
Domanpot and Poblacion West, Municipality of Asingan, Province of Pangasinan to
Barangay Poblacion East, Municipality of Asingan, Province of Pangasinan into a
national road.

The route being one of the convenient way when travelling between the
commercial centers of Asingan and Urdaneta, motorists often use this route and due
to increasing density of vehicles passing through this road, its continuous use results
to a constant need of repair and maintenance. With the budgetary constraints of the
Province, allotting significant amount for maintaining the conditions of provincial
roads will dent the provincial budget, an amount which could have been used instead
in funding other projects such as the social services of the province.

Moreover, the marketing and delivery of the agricultural produce of the
Province usually pass thru this road and with the agricultural sector playing a major
role in the economic activity of the Municipality of Asingan, these roads are often
utilized thus playing an important role in the transportation of the produce from the
municipality to the other parts of the province. Therefore, the need for the road to be
on safe and good condition. And by converting the road to a national road, all
undertakings for the upkeep, improvement and maintenance of the road may be
included in the annual budgetary allocation for the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH).

With the foregoing, immediate passage of the bill is earnestly sought.
