HOUSE BILL NO. 38 73

Introduced by Representatives Daphne A. Lagon and Sonny L. Lagon

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert into a national road the stretch of road in the Municipality of
Consolacion, Province of Cebu, starting at the diversion road from the national highway in
Barangay Cansaga passing through Barangays Tilhaong, Danglag, Polog and Cabangahan up
to the bundary in Barangay Pit-os, Cebu City.

‘The Municipality of Consolacion is a first income class municipality in the Province of
Cebu and a component local government unit of Metro Cebu. It is bordered on the North by the
Municipality of Liloan, to the West by Cebu City, on the East by the Camotes Sea and on the
South by the City of Mandaue, It is steadily growing as an urban commercial-industrial
community being home to several mid-sized industries that include logistics and ship repair. It
also hosts one of four SM Malls in the Province of Cebu.

Being the gateway to the urban centers of Mandaue, Lapu-lapu and Cebu cities, traffic in
the municipality has grown to be a big problem especially that widening the national highway is
very costly due to right-of-way issues. This problem will be aggravated very soon with
development projects in the pipeline that will definitely strengthen Consolacion’s position as a
major industrial and commercial center in the Province of Cebu in the near future.

It is against this backdrop that this measure is proposed to provide an altemative route
from the Municipality of Consolacion to the northern part of Cebu City by providing a direct road
connection from the municipality to barangays Pit-os, Talamban, Bacayan, San Jose, Pulangbato
and Binaliw and the rest of Cebu City North District.

Once approved, this measure will certainly help address the worsening traffic problem
at the national highway in the Municipality of Consolacion, not only for the benefit of the
municipality's residents, but for the travelling public, in general.

In view of the above premises, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought and
recommended.
