EXPLANATORY NOTE

Roads are the arteries through which the economy pulses. By linking
producers to markets, workers to jobs, students to school, and the sick to
hospitals, roads are vital to any development agenda.!

This bill seeks to convert the Provincial Road from the Junction Sitio
Marao, Brgy. Depase of the Municipality of Bayog, Province of Zamboanga del
Sur to Buug Road of the Municipality of Buug, Province of Zamboanga
Sibugay, into a Secondary National Road.

This road network is approximately 12.85-kilometer gravel road
connecting the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay. It
traverses Barangay Depase in the Municipality of Bayog and barangays
Talamimi, Talairan, Labrador and Poblacion in the Municipality of Buug.
Junction Marao to boundary of Bayog/Buug is 2.040-kilometer all weather
road, which is under the second congressional district of Zamboanga del Sur.

The conversion will propel development in these areas as it will facilitate
easier access to other parts of the Zamboanga Peninsula Region. Thus,
attracting potential investors who will boost the economic and livelihood
activities thereat.

It is therefore recommended that the foregoing bill be approved.
