HOUSE BILL NO.

“AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM
BARANGAY SIBUCAUAN, MUNICIPALITY OF TUBUNGAN TO
BARANGAY IGCABUGAO, MUNICIPALITY OF IGBARAS, ALL OF
THE PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The road section covered by this bill is the Tubungan-San Remigio Road. It is a
barangay road that traverses from the town proper of Tubungan, Iloilo and passes
through several barangays of the Municipality, thence adjoins the Leon-San Remigio
Road which was conceptualized as a shorter route from the Province of Iloilo to the
Province of Antique.

This is a vital road section as it connects the town proper of Tubungan, lloilo and at
least twenty (20) barangays thereof, all of which produce sizable quantities of
agricultural products and farm animals, to the Leon-San Remigio Road. The
Municipality of Tubungan is a 4th class municipality and possesses an immense
production potential. Sadly, its agricultural economy has been denied opportunity to
reach its full potential, largely due to the lack of sustainable market. Thus, upgrading
and constant maintenance of this road section will invariably engender an increased
productivity considering that producers will have access to an all-weather road,
network, thereby enabling them to conduct trade and commerce not only in thd",

nearby municipalities but also in the Province of Antique and Boracay Island.

This proposed measure is also premised on the plenary power of the Congress of
the Republic of the Philippines as enshrined in Section 1, Article VI of the 1987
Constitution of the Philippines, thus:


“Section 1. The legislative power shall be vested in the Congress of the
Philippines which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives,
except to the extent reserved to the people by the provision on initiative and
referendum.”

Broadly stated, the power Congress to legislate is all-encompassing, limited only by
our constitution. It appearing that there is no constitutional impediment attending
herein, the proponent respectfully prays that this proposed legislation be given due
consideration
