Cagayan de Oro is a highly urbanized city in Misamis Oriental in Region 10. It is widely
regarded as center of industry, trade and commerce in the region. It is also considered an
education hub in the region. Due to this, the population in Cagayan de Oro has been
increasing.

Unfortunately, there are not enough schools to cater to the increasing demand
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides:

SECTION 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and
nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human
liberation and development.

Article XIV Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution provides:
SECTION 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate
‘steps to make such education accessible to all.

It is very clear that it is the duty of the State to ensure that its citizens have access to quality
education and the first step is to provide them with schools.

At present, there is no school in Sitio Palalan in Barangay Tablon in Cagayan de Oro City.
The students in said sitio have to travel to neighboring schools in order to be able to go to
school,

This bill proposes to establish an Integrated School in Sitio Palalan in Barangay Tablon in
order to address the increasing demand for a school in the area to handle the increasing
number of students.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

House Bill No. 9593

Introduced by Representative Frederick W. Siao

Explanatory Note

‘One of the choicest locations in lligan is the Barangay of Buru-un which is roughly 15
minutes away from the heart of the City. It is an area rich in waterfalls, springs and
rivers overflowing to the delight of our people-the lliganons. It is also an area which
boast of several tourist attractions- the NPC Natures Park, the Macapagal-Macaraeg
Ancestral House and several swimming pool facilities popularly known as the Timoga
area.

We are trying to make Iligan enter the multi-billion MICE (Meetings, Incentives,
Conferences and Exhibitions) industry and be internationally known as the “BIMP EAGA
Hub in Northern Mindanao” thereby generating more jobs and opportunities for our
people.

This Convention Center is only ten (10) minutes away from the MIRAIC (Metro-lligan
Regional Agricultural and Industrial Center) area in the Municipality of Linamon, Lanao
del Norte where it is projected that 200 to 300 locators will be situated. Having this
Convention Center will boost the tourism industry of lligan and generate jobs for our
people.

Our gratitude to the Macapagal-Macaraeg family of lligan for donating their land to the
City to make this a reality

In view of the tremendous economic impact it will have in my District, approval of this

EXPLANATORY NOTE

House Bill No.

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Gusa in Cagayan de
Oro City.

Republic Act 7743 provides for the establishment of ‘additional public libraries to serve all
congressional districts cities and municipalities in the Philippines and reading centers in every
barangay except in cities or municipalities where there are existing public libraries or in
barangays where there are existing reading centers...”

Further, the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates that municipalities, cities and
provinces maintain a public library as part of their basic services and facilities.

Unfortunately, there is no full-implementation of the above provisions of law as there are still
many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays with no access to public libraries or
reading centers.

While it would undoubtedly be very costly to put up a public library, especially for a barangay,
an alternative would be to put up an e-library with at least 3 sets of computers with access to
the internet in the barangay halls. This e-library can be used by the public to do research, get
access to e-books and gather valuable knowledge and information.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.
