House Bill No.

Introduced by Honorable Estrellita B. Suansing

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Guimba-Talugtug-Umingan Provincial Road
connecting the Municipalities of Guimba and Talugtug, Province of Nueva Ecija and the
Municipality of Umingan, Province of Pangasinan into a National Road.

The 33 kilometer road stretch starts from Guimba town proper to Umingan,
Pangasinan via Talugtug, Nueva Ecija.

The existing roadway is heavily traversed by motorists from nearby
municipalities. By converting the Guimba-Talugtug-Umingan Provincial Road into a
National Road, it will provide linkages and better access to services and will
complement the agriculture, tourism and social sectors. In doing so, the road will sustain
regional industries and agricultural activities. It will also contribute to socio-economic
development and provide faster, more convenient and shorter access in transporting
good from rural and urban areas.

The Provincial Governments of Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan lack the capacity to
upgrade and maintain said road. Without appropriate funding for maintenance, the road
will slowly deteriorate. Without proper attention, the road will once again be in a state of
disrepair. Thus the need to provide funds for the purpose of continuously maintaining
the road at its best conditions for the general welfare of commuters plying the route is of
primordial concern.

In view of the foregoing, early approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Honorable ERIC M. MARTINEZ

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Education is essential for everyone. It is the level of education that helps
people earn respect and recognition. Education is an indispensable part of life
both personally and socially. However, the unequal standard of education is still
a major problem that needs to be solved.

When the people of a nation are educated, they would definitely carve
ways to be self-sufficient. An economically independent society is the stepping
stone to combined productivity that leads to economic growth of the nation.

The City of Valenzuela is one of the fast-growing economy and
development site in the National Capital Region, its population grows, and
therefore commensurate to the increase of population, a national high school
in Barangay Bagbaguin must be created and pursued in order to culminate a
viable educational program for the youth. Moreover, Barangay Bagbaguin is
one of the populated Barangay in the second district of Valenzuela City
therefore it needs a national high school.

As a result of the worthy purpose of this legislation, it is motivating that
this bill creating Bagbaguin National High School in Valenzuela City be
approved, with the support of my colleagues.

The approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Mt. Pinatubo eruption of 15 June 1991 caused huge devastation
in Central Luzon, brought untold suffering to many of our countrymen, and
forever changed the landscape of many of the provinces in the area.

Pampanga, which was one of the hardest hit provinces, saw her towns
being buried under tons of lahar, displacing many constituents, and forcing
them to stay in relocation centers. The province has slowly recovered from
the catastrophe, is continuously rebuilding, and is a living testament to the
versatility of the Filipino people.

Rising from this tragedy shows resilience, iron will, and triumph of the
human spirit. The lessons we have leamed will help and teach us to strive
harder in order to reach even greater heights.

‘Twenty Five years, hence and every year thereafter, It is but fitting that
we commemorate this event, not to dwell on the pain and suffering it caused,
but to inspire all of us to work for the betterment of our communities. That
despite the seemingly overwhelming odds, we stood united, faced the
challenges and emerged as better persons.

It is for these reasons that | seek for the immediate enactment of this
measure.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Youth who have been adjudicated juvenile delinquents or juvenile offenders find it difficult to
secute jobs on account of the stigma they carry. Our moral society seems to altach a certain
letter-labe! to them that pojoratively characterizes them. But they do not have to work under
such critical and nit-picking circumstance. If the government undertakes to round them up
and exclusively provides them with job and vocational skiiis training, then they would be
empowered and have the opportunity to improve their lots and blend well with the

mainstream society.

Hence, it behooves the national government to establish a pilot progyam to provide joD\and
vocational skills training to youth who have been adjudicated juvenilg delinquents or juveMe

offenders.

The immediate passage of this measure is sought for.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Situated in the Second District of the Province of Davao del Norte is the Junction
Highway Panabo Poblacion — Panabo Wharf Road, in the City of Panabo, which serve as
a thoroughfare for the transport of vital goods and services.

It is sad to note, however, that the condition of this four (4) kilometer stretch of
roadway, traversing the barangays of Sto. Nifio and San Vicente leading to Panabo wharf
in Brgy. San Pedro is in a sorry state. Its maintenance and repair is neglected because
this responsibility cannot be directly traced to any of the local government engineering
offices such that the road’s upkeep has been done in a voluntary manner between the
provincial government and the City of Panabo. There is a need, therefore, to ensure the
maintenance and subsequent expansion of this vital infrastructure link in order to propel
socio-economic development in the said area.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Street. The road is located in the City Proper District of Iloilo City, which is the heart of my
Congressional District. Numerous government offices including the Hoilo City Hall and the
Hoilo Provincial Capitol are located in the City Proper District. Moreover, there are a good
number of business establishments and schools in the City Proper area. The Iloilo Central
Business District, which was recently declared by Republic Act 10555 as part of the country’s

INTRODUCED BY HONORABLE CHERYL DELOSO-MONTALLA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the 2.85 kilometer GOVIC Highway in the Municipality
of Iba, Province of Zambales into a national road.

GOVIC Highway is a bypass road which serves as an alternate route for
commuters who wish to avoid traffic within the heart of the Municipality of Iba when
going to the northern towns of the Province of Zambales, While it serves its purpose to
decongest traffic in the Municipality of Iba, GOVIC Highway is poorly maintained. As it
has become a vital infrastructure in the transport of goods of farming communities of its
surrounding barangays and municipalities, the only viable solution to guarantee that
necessary fund for its maintenance and expansion is provided is by converting it into a
national road. The conversion of the GOVIC Highway into a national road will promote
ecotourism and socio-economic development not only in the Municipality of Iba but also
of the nearby municipalities in the 2" Legislative District of Zammbales.

It is in this light that this bill is being filed and immediate passage of this bill is
earnestly sought.

Introduced by Honorable Lucy Marie Torres-Gomez

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to include values formation as a separate subject in the elementary and
secondary curricula.

In 2002, the Department of Education adopted a restricted Basic Education Curriculum
in the elementary and secondary level which integrates values development in all learning areas
in the core subjects of Filipino, English, Mathematics and Science. MAKABAYAN was also
added to the elementary and secondary curricula to enable the student to process and synthesize a
wide range of skills and values, This subject covers civies and culture, values and creative
expressions

By adding a separate subject in values formation and not just integrating it in the core
subject, it is hoped that the teacher’s effort in developing desirable values among students will be
strengthened. Good manners, right conduct and values such as truth and justice, liberty and
human dignity, democracy and love of country will therefore be included among the students
early on in life.

To ensure that students develop proper values, attitude and knowledge to enable them to
think critically and act creatively for personal, community and national development, it is
imperative to include a continuing subject in values formation in the elementary and secondary
curricula,

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

Introduced by: REP. LORNA BAUTISTA-BANDIGAN

EXPLANATORY NOTE

H-Way JCT.—San Agustin—Sto. Nino—Kisulan—Tubalan Port barangay road is a
long stretch of 33 kilometers that needs to be converted into a national road, Tubalan Port
and Sarangani Port are the two existing ports in Davao Occidental.

Tubalan is one of the densely populated barangays in the Municipality of Malita,
Province of Davao Occidental. With fishing and agriculture as its main source of income, the
barangay is one of the primary and major contributors of the town’s fast-developing
economy. People from the surrounding areas come to Tubalan to market their products.
Local leaders and other officials of the government initiate projects to sustain its growth.
With its economic and tourism potentials, Tubalan is now being developed as an economic
zone, The plan is to make the Tubalan Port a dockyard for repairing and maintaining large
local and international ships.

The abovementioned barangay road is the thoroughfare that serves commuters to
and from the area. It is a rough surface road that is slippery when wet and dusty when dry.
Itcan hardly be classified as a passable road to the port designed to serve as a cove for ships
where national and international commerce and trade as well as tourism can be conducted.
‘The potential of Tubalan Port as an economic and tourism center is not maximized for lack
of better road; hence the desire to convert the barangay road to a national road.

For the above-cited reasons, approval of this Bill is earnestly solicited.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Mexico-Magalang Provincial Road, Mexico,
Pampanga, into a national road which shall be under the supervision of the
Department of Public Works and Highways. This road is a vital artery that connects
the 3° and 4" Districts of the province and helps promote peace and order as well
as economic growth in the locality and surrounding areas.

The scarcity of funds in the provincial government has made it difficult to
adequately maintain this provincial road. Converting it into a national road will then
allow the National Government to undertake the much needed repair, rehabilitation
and upgrading of this vital infrastructure

Considering the important role that roads play in development and progress,
the speedy passage of this measure is earnestly requested.

This bill seeks to a seventy (75) bed capacity hospital to be known as Mamintal
Adiong Sr. Provincial Hospital located in Ditsaan-Ramain, Lanao Del Sur.

With the passage of this bill, more than 19,000 residents of Ditsaan-Ramain no
longer have to travel to Marawi City for their medical needs. The provincial hospital will
be able to provide a more integrated, comprehensive, accessible and effective quality
health care and services not only to the town of Ditsaan-Ramain but also to its
neighboring municipalities.

Considering that the late Representative Mamintal Adiong Sr. devoted his life in
serving the people from 1938 to 2004, it is but fitting that the provincial hospital be
named after him. He has been a champion of infrastructure programs in Lanao Del Sur,
and strong advocate for institutional health reforms in the province and country as well

Hence, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought for.
