CONVERTING THE PROVINCIAL ROADS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF 
CAMALIG AND DARAGA, PROVINCE OF ALBAY, PARTICULARLY 
COMUN-INARADO JUNCTION - COMUN - COTMON - DEL ROSARIO – 
ALOBO - BURGOS - BASCARAN ROAD INTO A NATIONAL ROAD 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the provincial roads connecting the Barangays of Comun, Cotmon, 
and Del Rosario in the Municipality of Camalig, as well as the Barangays of Alobo, Burgos 
and Bascaran in the Municipality of Daraga, all in the Province of Albay, into a National Road. 
The road is part of the network of arterial thoroughfares that feed into the Bicol International 
Airport and its environs. For this reason, its proper maintenance as a national road is critical to 
ensuring that the free flow of goods and of people in the area is unimpeded. 
The road is also part of the Guinobatan-Camalig-Daraga-Legazpi (GUICADALE) Economic 
Township Program, initially a State-led humanitarian intervention to move people from harm’s 
way in risk areas to safer and higher grounds free from lahar. 
GUICADALE is now an economic development platform to transform previously 
underdeveloped 64,000 hectares of these jurisdictions into a sprawling business boom center. 
As such, these roads are also crucial to fulfilling the countryside development objectives 
embodied in Executive Order No. 70, which espouses an all-of-government, development-
centric approach to countering local armed insurgency. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.
