HOUSE BILL NO. ____

HON. BRIAN RAYMUND S. YAMSUAN 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It was declared the policy of the State to ensure road safety through the observance 
of the citizenry of responsible and ethical driving standards which gave rise to Republic 
Act No. 10586 otherwise known as the "Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013." 
However, the inadequate number of Land Transportation Office (LTO) personnel to 
enforce R.A. No. 10586 which would conduct regular roadside operations and 
apprehend traffic violators hinders the effective implementation of our road safety 
laws. 
This bill aims to guarantee mandatory deputation for successful law enforcement 
through sufficient manpower which would conduct regular roadside operations and 
ensure a proactive and continuous implementation of R.A. No. 10586. 
It also seeks to integrate road safety and drivers' education into the K to 12 curriculum 
to ensure that the ill effects of drunk and drugged driving are instilled early. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is most earnestly sought.
