HOUSE BILL NO. _4551

Introduced by Honorable Oscar “Richard” S. Garin, Jr.
__1* District, lloilo

“AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM

BARANGAY IGTUBA, MUNICIPALITY OF MIAGAO TO
BARANGAY IGTALONGON, MUNICIPALITY OF IGBARAS, ALL
OF THE PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The road section covered by this bill is the Igtuba-San Jose-Bagay-Igtalongon
Road which serve as an alternative route between the municipalities of Miagao
and Igbaras in the Province of lloilo. This is a 22.6-kilometer barangay road that
traverses from the national highway at Brgy. Igtuba, Miagao, lloilo, passing
through twelve (12) barangays of Miagao continues into Brgy. Bagay in the
Municipality of Igbaras thence through the Barangays of Lab-on, Corucuan and
Igtalongon of the same Municipality.

This road section is intended to connect the gap portion of two adjoining national
roads, |. €., llollo-Igbaras National Road and Iloilo-Antique National Road, to form
continuous road network. It is a significant commercial artery as it connects the
towns Miagao and Igbaras, lloilo as well as the barangays therein, all of which
produce considerable quantities of agricultural products and farm animals. The
Municipality of Miagao is a ‘st class municipality with a population of about
65,000 per 2010 census. It is the site of the University of the Philippines in the
Visayas (UPV). Igbaras is a 4th class municipality with a population of 31,347 per
2010 census. Both municipalities possess an immense potential in agriculture,
trade and commerce, thus, a reliable road system to reach their full potential can
go a long way. Upgrading and constant maintenance of this road section will
invariably engender increased agricultural activity productivity, thus invigorating


trade and commerce, considering that producers will have access to an all-
weather road network, thereby enabling them to conduct trade and commerce not
only in the nearby municipalities but also in the Province of Antique and Boracay
Island.

This proposed measure is also premised on the plenary power of the Congress of
the Republic of the Philippines as enshrined in Section 1, Article VI of the 1987
Constitution of the Philippines, thus:

“Section 1. The legislative power shall be vested in the Congress of the
Philippines which shall consist of a Senate and a House of
Representatives, except to the extent reserved to the people by the
provision on initiative and referendum.”

Broadly stated, the power Congress to legislate is all-encompassing, limited only
by our constitution. It appearing that there is no constitutional impediment
attending herein, the proponent respectfully prays that this proposed legislation
be given due consideration
