Introduced by Hon. Abraham N. Tolentino

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to change the Tagaytay-Calamba National Road
to Isaac Tolentino Avenue to honor and pay tribute to the legacy of the
late Isaac Tolentino, a man of integrity, honor, and vision, a selfless
leader who committed his life serving the City of Tagaytay.

Isaac Tolentino served Tagaytay as its first mayor for twenty six
(26) consecutive years from February 1954 to 1980. He was appointed
by then President Ramon Magsaysay. At the time of his appointment,
‘Tagaytay was merely a mass of land covered by cogon with very few
inhabitants. Under his administration, barrios and barangays were
created, road networks were opened, infrastructures were built, and
waterways were initiated. Housing projects were undertaken one after
another providing families abode and security. Public schools were
built to provide education to the youth and employment to others.
Hence, under his administration and leadership, communities were
built and their basic needs addressed.

Pivotal to his administration was the construction of roads
connecting Tagaytay to neighboring municipalities and cities. This
resulted to economic development and progress making Tagaytay an
ideal place for business, leisure, and retirement.

Isaac Tolentino, otherwise known as the Father of Tagaytay
(Tatay of Tagaytay), provided the groundwork for what Tagaytay has
become today, a bustling community that hosts domestic and
international commercial establishments, prime realestate
developments, conference centers, religious convents and houses, and
government offices, among others.


Indeed Tagaytay is now one of the most sought after residential
and commercial areas in the country. It is now internationally known
for its inherent beauty and its impressive economic progress.

In view of the foregoing, it is but fitting to recognize the
invaluable contributions of the late Isaac Tolentino to the City of
‘Tagaytay. Hence, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks for a conversion of JUNCTION MORNING, CATAINGAN ~ PIO V.
CORPUS ~ ESPERANZA provincial road into a national road.

The aforementioned forty (40)-kilometer provincial road is connecting three (3)
localities: the municipalities of Cataingan, Pio V. Corpus and Esperanza, Besides, this is the
only road used by the people of the said agricultural and marine abundant areas in
transporting their products to the commercial centers in the Province of Masbate

| believe that it is imperative to convert the said road into a national road knowing the
fact that the Province of Masbate is entangled from the quagmire of economic difficulties.
Placing this provincial road under the ambit of the national government jurisdiction certainly
will succor the provincial government to pursue other public services by using its limited
source of fund.

it should also be noted that the Masbate Province, aside form being (aged as one of
the poorest among the depressed provinces in the country, is a regular recipient of typhoons
that cause large scale of infrastructure destruction, affecting mostly the road neworks.

Evidently, the province's anemic coffer is not in a financial position to cause the
maintenance, rehabilitation and repair of frequently destroyed access’ roads, causing undue
suffering (o our people and even affecting economic upheaval

On this quest, I believe that such conversion will be a big relief 10 our despondent
province in the struggle to extricate from the bondage of poverty:

Hence, approval on this bill is urgently sought

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 13 and 17 of Article II of the Constitution expresses the important role of
the youth in nation-building, In the same, the State also highlights the importance of
education as an investment for national growth and development.

Fact is, Section 1. Article XIV of the fundamental law provides that “the State shall
protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”.

To date, a clamor for the creation and institutionalization of a national high
school In Barangay Nagkaisang Nayon under the Fifth District of Quezon City, Metro
Manila is very much evident. In order to address the teacher-student ratio which leaves
much to be desired.

The passage of this bill is highly recommended.

HOUSE BILL NO. EX S: TRVICE

Introduced by Honorable Lucy Torres-Gomez

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In the registry list of national parks of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is found Lake Danao in the
Province of Leyte. Lake Danao has been described as “a violin-shaped
lake hemmed by cloud-capped mountain ranges. It is a hunter’s paradise
where wild animals roam the surrounding forests. It is also said to be the
home of giant eel.”

The access road, however, to the Lake Danao Natural Park is a city
road passing from barangays Luna, Dolores, Milagro and Tongonan
leading to the lake, all in the City of Ormoe, Leyte.

‘An incongruous situation therefore exists wherein a national park,
maintained by the Protected Area Management Board of the DENR,
could only be reached by an ill-maintained and poorly-repaired city road
on account of the notoriously and chronically low available budget of the
city government for said purpose.

It is to remedy such a situation that this measure is being filed. It
certainly defeats the purpose of having a well-maintained national park
that could only be accessed through a dilapidated and unwholesome city
road network.

Hence, the early approval of this bill is urgently recommended.

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THIRTY (30) DAYS FORFEITABLE
LEAVE PRIVILEGES ANNUALLY TO ALL JUDGES OF SECOND LEVEL
COURTS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The demanding nature of judicial work, particularly for judges of second-level,
places a significant burden on their personal well-being and work-life balance.
These judges carry extensive caseloads and face continuous pressure, which
can lead to professional burnout. This bill recognizes these unique
challenges by providing an additional thirty (30) days of forfeitable leave
annually.

This additional leave is intended to provide judges with the necessary time
to rest, recover, and attend to personal matters without compromising
their regular vacation and sick leave entitlements. By granting this
privilege, we aim to enhance judicial efficiency and quality by ensuring that
judges are able to return to their duties rejuvenated and focused.


Furthermore, this bill serves as a crucial incentive for retaining highly
qualified and dedicated judges. Investing in the well-being of our judiciary is
an investment in the strength and integrity of our legal system. This
measure will help ensure a robust and effective judiciary that is vital to
upholding justice and democratic principles in the Philippines.

RENAMING THE LINGAYEN-BINMALEY BAYWALK, TRAVERSING THE

PANGASINAN, TO LINGAYEN-BINMALEY BAY BOULEVARD 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to rename the Lingayen-Binmaley Baywalk, spanning 
the municipalities of Lingayen and Binmaley in the province of Pangasinan, 
to Lingayen-Binmaley Bay Boulevard. 
This 12-kilometer stretch along the scenic Lingayen Gulf until the 
boundary of Barangay Sabangan in Binmaley, connects the municipalities of 
Lingayen and Binmaley, along with other towns in Pangasinan's First, 
Second, and Fourth Congressional Districts. Over time, it has become more 
than a road. It is now a symbol of Pangasinan's beauty and culture, 
connecting not just places but also people, livelihoods, and opportunities. 
Renaming the Lingayen-Binmaley Baywalk to Lingayen-Binmaley Bay 
Boulevard provides a clearer and more distinct identity to the road, reflecting 
the municipalities it traverses. This renaming not only honors the close ties 
between Lingayen and Binmaley but also highlights their shared role in the 
economic and cultural development of the province. The new name will help 
boost local pride and recognition while promoting the area as a unified 
tourism and economic hub. 
With the foregoing, the immediate passage of the bill is most humbly 
and earnestly sought.

Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE ELEANDRO JESUS F. MADRONA.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Province of Romblon has only one (1) regular district office under the Land
Transportation Office - MIMAROPA Region, located in the Municipality of Odiongan. The
lack of district offices in the province had resulted to insufficient number of personnel
compliments, thus, delivery of public service is greatly affected. To address the situation, San
Agustin Extension Office in the Municipality of San Agustin, Romblon was created, by virtue
of the Office Order No. VDM-2024-290 under LTO Assistant Secretary Vigor M. Mendoza,
through the help of then LGU San Agustin Mayor Esteban Santiago F. Madrona. This
Extension Office was under the administrative supervision and control of LTO Romblon
District Office.

The Extension Office was authorized to accept and process application for motor
vehicle registration, driver/ conductor’s license and student permit. It also serves the
requirements of the nearby towns like Calatrava, Sta. Maria, Romblon, Magdiwang,
Cajidiocan, San Fernando, Banton and Concepcion because of its strategic location.

Asa District Office, the LTO San Agustin Extension Office will be able to have its own
plantilla positions, and updated technology and equipment that will allow the office to respond
to the increasing demands and the budget resources for the implementation of regular LTO
programs and services.

Therefore, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought, in line with the enshrined policy
to ensure quality service closer to the public.

HOUSE BILL No._4143

Introduced by Rep. FERDINAND ALEXANDER A. MARCOS.
1* District, Ilocos Norte

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Vintar, a beautiful municipality in Hocos Norte, is embraced by mountain ranges and
graced with fertile valleys and rolling hills. Above its verdant fields and clear skies soars
the siwawer, the Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus), a majestic raptor that has come to
‘embody the strength and enduring spirit of the people of Vintar.

More than a bird of prey, the siwawer is a symbol of Vintar’s identity and resilience. It is
celebrated in festivals, woven into cultural attire, and reflected in traditions. Each
December, the people of Vintar commemorate their heritage through the Siwawer Festival,
beginning on December 4, which also marks Vintar Day, the foundation of the municipality
when it was separated from the town of Bacarra. This annual celebration honors the town’s
achievers, promotes culture and the arts, fosters tourism, and strengthens environmental
stewardship. It is a time for the community to come together in thanksgiving.

In view of its historic and cultural significance, a national legislation declaring December
4 of every year a special nonworking holiday in Vintar will institutionalize the observance,
provide broader cultural acknowledgment, foster government collaboration and support,
and ensure the long-term preservation of the heritage and traditions of the municipality

Thus, the immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

House Bill No. 4178

Introduced by: REPRESENTATIVE ERIC L. OLIVAREZ
EXPLANATORY NOTE

Barangay officials are the frontline civil servants and the primary public
service providers for the people residing in their respective jurisdictions. Due to
their proximity to their constituents, barangay officials are the most accessible
publis servants to the Filipino people. As a result, barangay officials work
endlessly everyday to provide assistance and attend to the needs of the residents
in their respective barangays.

However, despite the heavy tasks imposed upon barangay officials, they
receive benefits incommensurate to the services they render. It must be stressed
that the important role of the barangay officials in nation building necessitates
that measures to promote their welfare and prosperity be enacted and that the
major function of barangay officials in administering the needs of the people in
the barangay must be recognized,

The main purpose of this Bill is to increase the honoraria, allowances, and
such other emoluments currently received by barangay officials in order to give
due recognition to the huge role played by the officials the smallest government
unit.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this Bills earnestly sought.
