EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a national highway from Barangay Don Mariano Marcos to
Barangay Macangao, both in the Municipality of Lupon, Province of Davao Oriental,
connecting the Mati - Maragusan National Secondary Road and the President Diosdado P.
Macapagal National Highway.

‘The Municipality of Lupon has 21 barangays, 18 of which are contiguously located
around the town proper while the other three - Barangays Don Mariano Marcos, Calapagan,
and Marayag, collectively known as DONCAMAR- are clustered and located approximately
75 Kilometers away from the town proper. A constituent from these barangays needing to go
‘to the municipal hall of Lupon has to travel around LS hours in a circuitous route that passes
through the City of Mati and the Municipality of San Isidro, This causes added burden to the
traveler from Lupon and inevitably contributes to the worsening traffic situation in Mati and
San Isidro.

‘The passage of this bill will connect the three remote barangays of the Municipality
of Lupon to the other 18 adjoining barangays affording direct and shorter travel. The trip
will effectively be reduced by one hour easing the inconvenience and extra expense in the
transporting of people and farm products to and from each area. Further, the national
highway will reduce traffic problems in the City of Mati and the Municipality of San Isidro,

A similar version of this bill was filed during the 17% Congress. Support for the
immediate passage of this bill is again earnestly sought.
