MUNICIPALITY OF AGUINALDO, PROVINCE OF IFUGAO, TRAVERSES THE

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article X, Section 13 states that, Local 
government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, 
services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in accordance 
with law." The State needs to significantly improve and develop tourism and 
economic activities in the country.
Pursuant to the aforementioned constitutional mandate, this bill proposes to 
convert the road which starts at Barangay Posnaan, Municipality of Aguinaldo, 
Province of Ifugao, traverses barangay Dolowog, Sitio Minanga of Barangay Sta. 
Maria, and Sitio Tallu Purok of Barangay San Marcos in the Municipality of Alfonso 
Lista, Province of Ifugao, and finally connecting with the national road at the 
Municipality of Aurora, Province of Isabela into a national road.
The conversion of this road is necessary to facilitate swifter and more efficient 
transportation of essential agricultural goods, and the delivery of agricultural 
services from the Province of Ifugao to the Province of Isabela. The municipalities 
of Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista are one of the top producers of corn, which are 
delivered and sold in the province of Isabela. However, this road is difficult to travel 
through during the rainy season. Corn farmers have to wait out until the roads are 
dry resulting to much waste of their harvests and produces. Thus, the conversion 
will result to the improvement of the road that will help the farmers and 
communities.
In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
