Introduced by Representative Maria Rachel J. Arenas

AN ACT CONVERTING THE SIX AND TWO HUNDREDTHS
KILOMETER (6.02 KM.) PROVINCIAL ROAD FROM BARANGAY ANO TO
BARANGAY TARECE TO BARANGAY QUEZON BOULEVARD, CITY OF
SAN CARLOS, PROVINCE OF PANGASINAN, INTO A NATIONAL ROAD
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the provincial road from Barangay Ano to Barangay
Tarece to Barangay Quezon Boulevard, located in the City of San Carlos, Province of
Pangasinan, into a national road. The town of San Carlos is a third-class component city
and has a population of 205,424. Barangays Ano, Tarece, and Quezon Boulevard have a
combined population of 9,164.

The provincial road from Barangay Ano to Barangay Tarece to Barangay Quezon
Boulevard is a rugged road connected from the provincial road in Macabito, Municipality
of Calasiao to the national road located at the center of the City Of San Carlos. This road
is the only entrance and exit routes for the residents of the area

Every year, the Municipality of Calasiao and Province of Pangasinan have been
allocating funds for the repair and maintenance of the above-mentioned provincial road,
which comes from its development fund. However, the amount is heavy burden to the
local government.

Moreover, as the Province of Pangasinan continues to develop, many provincial
roads have been intertwined with or sandwiched by newer national roads and bridges thus,
there is a growing need for their integration of purpose, management, and identification
through their conversion into national roads. We also seek to convert more provincial roads

1


into national roads and bridges in order for the national government fund to cover the
repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, retrofitting, improvement and/or reconstruction of the
roads and bridges.

The conversion of this provincial road into a national road will immensely benefit
the people of the Third District of Pangasinan and enhance the development process of
three of its big towns, the Municipalities of Calasiao and Malasiqui and City of San Carlos,
Province of Pangasinan This conversion will provide bigger budget for the repair,
maintenance and/or reconstruction of said road line.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this Bill is earnestly recommended
