Twentieth Congress 
Firs Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. 2096 
Introduced by Representative : Antonio “Tonypet” T. 
Albano  
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the existing Land Transportation 
Office 
(LTO) 
Cabagan 
Extension 
Office, 
located 
in 
the 
Municipality of Cabagan, Province of Isabela, into a regular LTO 
District Office.   
Located in the heart of the 1st District of Isabela, the 
Cabagan Extension Office serves not only the Municipality of 
Cabagan but also the neighboring municipalities of San Pablo, 
Sta. Maria, Sto. Tomas, Tumauini, and Delfin Albano. This 
strategic location underscores the office's pivotal role in regional 
transportation management and public service. 
Despite the lack of a dedicated budget from the national 
government and the absence of permanent staff positions due to 
its status as an extension office, the Cabagan Extension Office 
has consistently achieved an excellent rating for its Quality 
Management System from the Anti-Red Tape Authority. This 
remarkable performance highlights the office's efficiency and its 
staff's dedication to service, managing to deliver outstanding 
results under constrained resources.

The conversion of the Cabagan Extension Office into a full-
fledged district office is a necessary step to recognize its 
significant contributions and to enhance its capabilities. As a 
district office, it will receive direct budgetary allocations, enabling 
the establishment of permanent positions, which will further 
stabilize and improve the office's operations. This change will 
allow the office to expand its services, reduce bureaucratic 
delays, and continue to excel in its commitment to serving the 
growing needs of the Filipino people in the region. 
It is imperative that this bill be enacted to ensure that the 
LTO Cabagan office can continue to provide efficient and effective 
service with the proper resources it justly deserves. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this 
bill is earnestly sought.
