House Bitno. 4914

“AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD STRETCHING FROM
BARANGAY CAMANGAHAN TO BARANGAY NAHAPAY, ALL OF
THE MUNICIPALITY OF GUIMBAL, PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A
NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR”

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The road section covered by this bill is the Camangahan-Buluangan-Nahapay
Provincial Road. It is a provincial road that spans 4.048 kilometers and it is an
alternative route to the Municipality of Tubungan, Iloilo from the Iloilo-Antique
National Road via Guimbal, Iloilo. This road section has proven its indispensability,
especially during times of intense typhoons where the main route to Tubungan were
rendered impassable.

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.
