HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by Representative Adrian Jay “AJ” C. Advincula

EXPLANATORY NOTE

of Cavite into a National Road.

The| City of Imus is considered as one of the fast-growing cities with an
average growth rate of 22% during the last three years. Its growth is attributed
to its proximity to Manila, economic friendliness and availability of manpower
resources from its vocational school. It is also known for its accelerating point of
trading, commercial and industrial opportunities in the locality.

|

To gssure the City's unhampered development it requires access roads
and development of infrastructure to be of service to benefit every Imusefios
and entrepreneurs, both micro and macro; expeditious transport of goods and
services but not compromising the safety of the residents of the City.

This proposed conversion into a national road if approved will expedite
the socio-economic development of the City of Imus. It will also serve as easier
gateways to its neighboring cities and municipalities.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is most

eamestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill was originally introduced during the 14th Congress where it was approved by
the House of Representatives and transmitted to the Senate. lt was re-filed during the 15th,
161h, 17t', and 18th Congresses. During the 18b Congress, it was approved by the House of
Representatives.
The presence of the Chinese in our country is very significant. The Chinese arrived
here prior to the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century. They started their families and put
up their businesses here. They have intermarried with Filipinos and have raised their children
as Filipinos and made them study in Philippine schools. They have voluntarily assimilated to
our society. They put up businesses, provide employment to Filipinos, create more income for
us and contribute to our Philippine economy. They celebrate some of their own customs and
traditions here, the most significant of which is their New Year. The celebration of the Chinese
New Year is likewise participated by us Filipinos who join the parade of the dancing dragons
and are recipients of their famous tikoy.
Chinese - Filipinos fought with us for independence and freedom against Spain in
1896-1898, against the Americans in 1899 and against the Japanese in 1941-1945.
Considering our long relations with the Chinese many of whom have adopted the
Philippines as their home, it is but just to help preserve some of their valued traditions. This
bill seeks to preserve the Chinese tradition of celebrating their New Year by declaring it as
nonworking public holiday for observance among Chinese, Filipino-Chinese and Filipinos, thus
giving them honor and respect which is due them.

HOSPITAL - SAN PEDRO DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN THE CITY OF SAN PEDRO,
LAGUNA FROM THIRTY-FIVE (35) BEDS TO FIFTY (50) BEDS AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Laguna Provincial Hospital (LPH) - San Pedro District Hospital in the City of
San Pedro, Laguna serves its population of more than 325,000 people as of the 2020 census.
Despite the size of the City, the hospital only has a bed capacity of thirty-five (35) beds,
which is too small relative to the city’s large population. The COVID-19 pandemic has
further highlighted the need for expansion of the hospital's bed capacity, to serve the people
of San Pedro better, and to unclog other hospitals in San Pedro, and in nearby cities such as
Muntinlupa, Bifian, and Sta. Rosa.

Considering the rationale stated above, urgent passage of this bill is sought.

Province of Nueva Vizcaya)-Asipulo-Tinoc (Municipalities in the Province of Ifugao) are Provincial

alternate route to interconnect several regional centers with booming economic zones and airports
like the Bagabag Airport in Nueva Vizcaya, Cauayan, Airport in Isabela, and Loacan Airport in
Baguio City and ports like Puro Point in La Union, Port Irene and Santa Ana Port both in Cagayan.

the agricultural center in Bambang and ultimately to the end consumers at the least possible time
since they are perishable.

The Sores of road linkages cannot be over emphasized. The aforementioned road

The conversion of the road network from Municipal or Provincial Road into a National Road

This bill seeks to provide for the construction of a national highway from Sitio 
Dumaguing, Brgy. East Poblacion to Sitio Dilimbayan, in the Municipality of Balo-I, to be 
known as the Balo-I Bypass Road. 
Traffic congestion in the Municipality of Balo-I has been a long-time problem in the 
Province of Lanao del Norte, especially since it is the primary route between Iligan City and 
Marawi City.  
The proposed road construction will provide an alternative to road users as they will no 
longer pass-by the town proper of Balo-I, thereby cutting travel time from Iligan City to Marawi 
City. The proposed diversion road is also an attempt to curb possible Right-of-Way problems 
for road widening of the main road.  
As a refiled bill from the 18th Congress, and in view of the foregoing premises, the 
prompt approval of this measure is earnestly sought and recommended.

INTRODUCED BY REP. MAXIMO, JR. Y. DALOG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Bill seeks to convert the MOUNTAIN PROVINCE - IFUGAO ROAD VIA
NATONIN - AGUINALDO SECTION, presently classified as a provincial road into a
National Road.

The Mountain Province - Ifugao Road via Natonin - Aguinaldo Section starts
from Barangay Poblacion and traverses Barangay Banawel all in the Municipality of
Natonin, Province of Mountain Province and exits at Barangay Butac in the
Municipality of Aguinaldo, Province of Ifugao.

It serves as the shortest route for the inhabitants and farmers of the eastern
municipalities of Barlig and Natonin and some barangays of the Municipality of
Paracelis who go to the Province of Ifugao to trade their agricultural and handwoven
products. Because of the very poor condition of the road, the residents of the said
municipalities have to take the longer route with their goods always threatened of
being perished.

With the sustained maintenance of the road, the socio-economic amelioration
of the people using the same and the communities traversed by the said road will
definitely be enhanced.

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

EXPLANATORY NOTE

According to the latest 2020 Population Census, the Municipality of Ibajay, has the
largest population in the Province of Aklan which is about 52,364}, an increase of 5.6%
from the population count in 2018. A large percentage of this is comprised of school-age
population. However, given the number ofstudents, there is a need for the establishment
ofa National High School which shall be located in Ibajay to cater the students not only in
Ibajay but also the students of the entire province, especially those living in the second
district.

The creation of a National Highschoo! especially dedicated for the Second District
of Aklan students will address the shortage in classrooms, big student-to-classroom
ration and other gaps in the public school system. This will also give the parents another
option to enroll their children to this institution than send them to private high schools
or even send them in another province. Having their children enrolled in another
highschool located in other province entails bigger overhead expenses which bleed dry
the finances of the family.

‘This representation deems it imperative that this bill be enacted into law the
soonest possible time.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It has been long recognized that the economic development of a region is 
greatly facilitated by its road network. The quality of roads influences regional 
productivity through the facilitation of efficient movement of goods and labor.   Not 
only does this facilitate economic development, but also people’s access to social, 
health, and education services of the government. Thus, a well-kept road network is 
crucial in improving the lives of the constituents of the province.  
As the road network connecting Brgy. Sogoy to Brgy. San Rafael, Municipality 
of Castilla is categorized as a Provincial Road, it is maintained and rehabilitated by 
the Province of Sorsogon. The limited resources of the provincial government hinder 
it from sufficiently allocating annually what this vital road network actually needs for 
its upkeep. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to convert the abovementioned Provincial Road into a 
National Road to ensure that it will be efficiently maintained by the Department of 
Public Works and Highways with adequate funding from the national government.  
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The bill seeks to convert the city road, Shoe Avenue, traversing Barangay 
Concepcion Uno, Barangay Parang, and Barangay Nangka in the Second District, City 
of Marikina, into a national road. 
Roads enhance economic activities as they promote mobility and accessibility of 
the people, thus, opening a horizon of economic possibilities, business opportunities 
and better employment. Roads which have been established need to be maintained and 
repaired when necessary to assure that their purposes are fully served. 
By converting Shoe Avenue into a national road, it would transfer the 
responsibility of the maintenance to the national government through the Department of 
Public Works and Highways, thus channeling the resources of the city government 
earmarked for the maintenance of the said road to more important projects and 
programs of the city government. 
Thus, the conversion of the said road would greatly improve the quality of life of 
the people in the terms of economic activity, easy accessibility and convenience by 
means of good roads, at the same time allowing the city government to reallocate its 
funds for the creation of the better projects in furtherance of the same. 
In view thereof, the expedient approval of this bill is strongly recommended.

renovations. A big fire last January 30, 2015 completely bumed the building.
The City government was able to provide a temporary location for all court
transactions. Despite this, there is a need to have a permanent world class and modern Hall
of Justice for Cagayan de Oro City. This new Hall of Justice Building can still be located in the
old location.
ln view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.

AN ACT CONVERTING GREGORIO DEL PILAR STREET TRAVERSING 
BARANGAY PARANG AND BARANGAY MARIKINA HEIGHTS IN THE SECOND 
DISTRICT, CITY OF MARIKINA INTO A NATIONAL ROAD. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The bill seeks to convert the city road, Gregorio Del Pilar Street, traversing 
Barangay Parang and Barangay Marikina Heights in the Second District, City of Marikina, 
into a national road. 
Roads enhance economic activities as they promote mobility and accessibility of 
the people, thus, opening a horizon of economic possibilities, business opportunities and 
better employment. Roads which have been established need to be maintained and 
repaired when necessary to assure that their purposes are fully served. 
By converting Gregorio Del Pilar Street into a national road, it would transfer the 
responsibility of the maintenance to the national government through the Department of 
Public Works and Highways, thus channeling the resources of the city government 
earmarked for the maintenance of the said road to more important projects and programs 
of the city government. 
Thus, the conversion of the said road would greatly improve the quality of life of 
the people in the terms of economic activity, easy accessibility, and convenience by 
means of good roads, at the same time allowing the city government to reallocate its 
funds for the creation of the better projects in furtherance of the same. 
In view thereof, the expedient approval of this bill is strongly recommended.
