EXPLANATORY NOTE

One of the operative principles in the local government’s decentralization is that the
national government shall ensure that there shall be a continuing improvement of the
performance of local government units and the quality of community life.

The sharing of public burden especially in the matter of mutual cooperation in the
conservative use of public finds, with the assistance by the National Govemmment (NG) o the
budget of the local government unit (LGU) in terms of the latter’s savings in infrastructures’
expenditures, may be realized when the complete stretch of major road arteries which are partly
or commonly under the domain of both the LGU and NG shall all be integrally and wholly be
under a system that shall harmonize both their development thrusts.

Moreover, the whole and complete stretch of the major road arteries which are connected
to the already existing, or leading towards, the national roads will eventually result to the
network of national roads that may entail further road improvements falling under the capacity of
the NG such as the building of flyover or the like, thus, assurably creating efficiency and orderly
flow in the traffic that can boost and augment community interaction resulting to economic
development and upliftment in living conditions benefiting the LGUs in particular and the
country in general.

As such, the approval of this Bill is eamestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Toledo City Science High School into a
national science high school to be known as the Toledo City National Science
High School. The nationalization of this institution is envisioned to provide
continued support to the advancement of secondary education in Toledo City
and the neighboring municipalities in the third district of Cebu. This will
supplement the growing demand for quality secondary education in the area.
The nationalization of this institution will also strengthen the stature of Toledo City

‘as Cebu's center of economic power in the western part of the province.

The move to convert this institution into a national science high school is in
consonance with the provisions enshrined in Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987
Constitution which stipulates that “The state shall protect the right of all citizens
to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps fo make such
education accessible to all'’. Furthermore, Section 10, Article XIV of the 1987
Constitution states that “Science and technology are essential for national
development and progress. The state shall give priority to research and
development, invention, innovation, and their utilization; and to science and
technology education, training, and services. It shall support indigenous,
appropriate, and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities and their

application to the country’s productive systems and national life”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The 1987 Constitution in Article XIV, Section 2, Paragraph (2) mandates
that “The state shall establish and maintain a system of free public education in
elementary and high school levels.”

Barangay Lower Malinao is a far flank barangay of the municipality of
Padada, Davao Del Sur. It is noted that from the graduates of elementary each
year from Padada National High School, only ten percent (10%) of whom manage
to go to high school due to poverty. Without any existing high schools, students
are forced to enroll somewhere else just to obtain secondary education.

The nearest public high school therefrom is the Padada National High
School. However, apart from high costs of education, the travelling distance from
the barangay to the municipality proper is roughly ten kilometers making
transportation expenses, board and lodging and other related expenses additional
expenditures to the cost of sending children to high school which could hardly be
afforded by parents who are mostly plain laborers.

Further, the existing Padada National High School is already cramped up
with students coming from different municipalities of Davao Del Sur. With a
student population pegged at almost eleven| thousand, it is almost undeniable
that the school can no longer accommodate anymore enrollees.

It is now more timely than ever that Barangay Lower Malinao should have
its own high school through the enactment of this bill into law.

It is for this reason that approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

A community that cares for its elderly is one that is dynamic and abounding in blessings
inasmuch as it has found favor from the Providence who mandates for every one to “stand
up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man.” It sure is wise to give back to
the ones who have offered so much and dedicated their lives’ work not only for the benefit of
their loved ones, but practically, for the general welfare of the community.

Fact is, senior citizens, despite their infirmity and limitations, continue to exert effort in order
to continue to support themselves and their families. In an ideal setting, the elderly should
reap the fruits of their labor and the state should effectively look after their physical, social
and economic welfare. They should no longer be compelled to eke out a living as they have
gone the whole nine yards in their heyday and they should be entitled to some token
honoring their hard work and industry.

Unfortunately, existing laws have not amply addressed the various needs of se

It is for this reason that a funding allocation of 1% from the budget of

Hence, under this bill, every indigent elderly, 60 years old and aboye should be a beneficiary
of the budget allocation intended for indigent senior citizens.

House Bill No._8820

Introduced by Hon. Joselito R. Mendoza

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill seeks the conversion of the Sapang Putol- Akle
Provincial Road in the Municipality of San Ildefonso, Province of Bulacan, into a
national road. For years, the Sapang Putol- Akle Provincial Road served as a
conduit for the trading of goods and services such as the agricultural produce of
Bulacan and minerals, silica, and other natural resources found in its
mountainous area.

Despite this being a major road artery, the Sapang Putol- Akle Provincial
Road remains undeveloped as it is dependent on the availability of funds of the
local government unit responsible for its maintenance. If this provincial road can
be turned over to the national government, the situation can be reversed.

The conversion of a provincial road into a national road is essential to the
economic and social development of a particular municipality especially if such
road network traverses into agricultural areas as means for exchange of goods
and services which is the case of the Sapang Putol- Akle Provincial Road.
However, as the Province of Bulacan is also dependent on its internal revenue
allotments, the appropriate maintenance and development of said road could not
be regularly assured.

Hence, it is imperative that this provincial road be turned over to the
national government to assure that adequate funding will be appropriated for its
maintenance and improvement.

In view of the foregoing premises, immediate approval of this bill is
respectfully sought.

House Bill No. © ~ 3294

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to institute line-tem budgeting with respect to the appropriation for
capital outlay and other programs and projects which account for the bulk of government

expenditures, amending for the purpose Executive Order No. 292, otherwise known as the
“Administrative Code of 1987.”

The budget provides a powerful tool of accountability to citizens who want to know
how the government is spending public money. It is in line with this conviction that the
budgetary format is proposed to be changed.

This bill proposes to have a line-item budget as the framework of the government's
budgetary system on capital outlay and other programs and projects of the government.
Line-item budget is especially useful for purposes of transparency so that each item or cost
may be subjected to congressional scrutiny. This method of control-oriented-budgeting
system is especially effective for capital expenditures and for other programs and projects
under strict and limited resources. Moreover, it provides better accountability for the use of
public funds.

At this time of continuous yearly budget deficits and very scarce resources, this
proposed measure is earnestly sought to be passed.

Introduced by Representative Giorgidi B. Aggabao

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to put a cap on the total accumulated indebtedness of local
government units,

Under the Local Government Code of 1991, LGU’s are allowed to create
indebtedness and avail of credit facilities to finance local infrastructure and other socio-
economic development projects in accordance with the approved local development
plan and public investment program and for the purpose of stabilizing local finances.

However, it is necessary to put a limit on the extent of obligations that LGU’s
incur so as not to unduly burden its finances for debt repayments. Moreover, limiting
the obligations of the LGU will ensure the fiscal sustainability of succeeding
administrations, which otherwise would be weighed down by the fiscal irresponsibility
of its predecessors.

In view of the foregoing, passage of this bill is recommended.

House Bill No.8'741.

Introduced by HON. ALETA C. SUARE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XII Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution states that:

The goals of the national economy are a more equitable distribution of
opportunities. income, and wealth; a sustained increase in the amount of goods
and services produced by the nation for the benefit of the people; and an
expanding productivity as the key to raising the quality of life for all, especially

the underprivileged.

In pursuit of national development objectives, it is imperative for the government to build
infrastructure such as roads. Opening of new roads would lead to a lot of opportunities not only
to contiguous municipalities but also to nearby provinces. It will provide great opportunities for

trade and commerce between the provinces.

Presidential Decree No. 1894 provides that the grantee of the franchise has the right and
privilege to construct, maintain and operate the South Luzon Expressway from Nichols, Pasay
City to Lucena City. After almost thirty years from its enactment, there is a need to amend the

law to respond to the changes of time. This amendatory law will extend the South Luzon

Expressway from Lucena City to Malicboy, Quezon, an additional 21,96 kilom


‘The extension of road network from Lucena City to Malicboy, Quezon aims to make
travel to the Bicol Region faster and more convenient. ‘This measure will decongest the traffic
within and around the area. As a result, it will improve the mobility of goods and produets from.
Quezon province and the Bicol Region. The faster and convenient travel would also translate to a

growth of the tourism industry in these areas to the benefit of people living therein,

Considering the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly requested.

HOUSE BILL No. 38614

Introduced by HON. VICENTE J. ALCALA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert JUNCTION MSR-POBLACION-TUMBAGA I-
CASTANAS PROVINCIAL ROAD into a national road. This is a refiled bill which
reached the third reading in the Senate during the 15" Congress, It was not able to pass
into law due to time constraint

This road links the MSR to Brgy. Poblacion- Bray. Tumabaga, Brgy I-Castailas
Provincial Road in the municipality of Sariaya, Quezon .It serves as an access road to
many beach resorts,which are favorite tourist destinations in Sariaya, Quezon. It also
supports the fishing industry of Sariaya, Quezon and nearby towns with Castafias port
as unloading point. Thus, it is necessary to ensure enhanced quality of the road to
facilitate economic growth in the area, However, the sustainable maintenance of the
road to keep and enhance the road in a good and usable condition is at stake given the
limited budget of the Provincial Government with 39 municipalities and a component
city to cater by its development fund

By converting abovementioned road into a national road, funds from the
national government thru the Department of Public Works and Highways can now be
channeled to accelerate the betterment of the Junction Manila South Road (MSR)-
Poblacion-Tumbaga- I-Castafias Provincial Road.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate consideration and approval of this bill
is earnestly sought.
