NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
Third Regular Session 
House Bill No. 10972 
Introduced by HONORABLE MARCELINO C. LIBANAN 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to rename the Oras National High School, in the Municipality of Oras, 
Province of Eastern Samar, into Federico O. Mengote National Memorial High School. 
The main object of this proposed legislation is to recognize and honor the late great 
leader of the Province of Eastern Samar, former Governor Federico O. Mengote. This honor 
and recognition is aptly deserved because the former Governor has validated the time-honored 
belief that abjection cannot impede one's way to victory. The institution, Oras National High 
School, which until now caters to the educational needs of students who are hard up yet 
determined to step ahead in the battle against analphabetism and ignorance should draw 
inspiration from the man who rose from the same station in life and who have relentlessly 
pursued the mastery of the calling he has chosen. To encourage the people to liberate 
themselves from the bondage of ignorance, Governor Mengote donated the piece of land where 
the Oras National High School is now located. The former governor should inspire the youth 
of Eastern Samar, particularly the youth of the Municipality of Oras, because of the countless 
good deeds and contributions he has brought about not only to the said municipality but also 
to the entire province. 
Renaming government institutions after our leaders serve this very important purpose. 
These people who have played vital roles in charting the course of our history deserves 
recognition. Fittingly therefore, the legacy of our leaders who have contributed much to social 
change and development should be etched in the memories of the youth and should serve as an 
insight, emulating and reliving in them the wisdom and nobility of their great leaders. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS FOR PREGNANT 
WOMEN AND POSTNATAL MOTHERS 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The 1987 Philippine Constitution recognizes the importance of the role of women in 
nation-building. 1 It also recognizes the need for the State to protect working women by providing 
them safe and healthful working conditions, taking into account their maternal functions, and 
such facilities and opportunities that will enhance their welfare and enable them to realize their 
full potential in the service of the nation.2 
In recognition of the challenges being faced by women during pregnancy and in rearing 
their children during the early stages of their development, this bill seeks to mandate the 
provision of a flexible work arrangements for pregnant women. The benefit extends to postnatal 
mothers, at least one year from the date of childbirth. The flexible work arrangements shall be 
agreed upon between the employer and employee, must not negatively affect individual and 
company productivity, and subject to certain parameters. 
Hence, I humbly request the swift passage of this bill.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The creation of a national high school in Barangay Pamucutan, Zamboanga City is
a necessary step towards promoting educational equity and inclusivity.  Currently,
many students in our barangay face significant challenges in accessing secondary
education due to the lack of nearby schools. As a result, they are forced to travel
long distances, often at great expense, to attend schools in neighboring areas. This
not   only   places   a   financial   burden   on   families   but   also   limits   educational
opportunities for our youth, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
By enacting legislation to establish a national high school in Barangay Pamucutan,
we  can  eliminate these  barriers  and provide  all  students with the  opporfunity to
receive a quality education close to home.  This will not only increase enrollment
rates  but  also  improve  educational  outcomes  and  foster  a  sense  of pride  and
belonging within the barangay.
Furthermore, the creation of a national high school in Barangay Pamucutan will have
far-reaching benefits for Barangay Pamucutan's development and prosperity. It will
serve  as  a  hub  for  academic,  cultural,  and  social  activities,  bringing  together
students, parents, educators, and barangay residents in a shared pursuit of knowledge
and growth.
It is in this light that the early approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by: REP. SALVADOR A. PLEYTO, SR. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Having a pet animal or choosing to have a companion animal in one's life is a big 
responsibility and a lifelong commitment. These pets are dependent on humans for their 
quality of life. It is important to ensure they are given adequate care and attention and fully 
understand their well-being before taking that responsibility. 
Statistics show that more than seventy percent (70%) of the population in our country 
have cats, dogs, or both in the household. Many Filipinos seek companionship while all alone, 
and some turn to their pets for solace and emotional support. Others keep dogs on their 
property for security against intruders. 
The trend of the increasing number of pet ownerships has prompted businesses in the 
country to adopt a pet-friendly environment in their facilities. Malls, hotels, resorts, and 
various public venues are now animal-friendly and can accommodate pets accompanied by 
their owners. 
These companion animals, pets, don't just need food and water, they need appropriate 
shelter and living space, regular veterinarian check-ups, and preventative vet care to ensure 
they remain happy and healthy. Regular veterinary care is about meeting the health needs of 
the pet animal. Services that fall within the day-to-day umbrella of veterinary care are: 
physical examinations, lab testing and other diagnostic testing, and vaccinations. 
In view of the foregoing, the establishment of a public veterinary clinic in every city 
and municipality is hereby proposed in this measure, and funds be appropriated for its 
construction and maintenance.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The creation of a national high school in Barangay Maasin, Zamboanga City is a
riecessary  step  towards  promoting  educational  equity  and  inclusivity.  Currently,
many students in our barangay face significant challenges in accessing secondary
education due to the lack of nearby schools. As a result, they are forced to travel
long distances, often at great expense, to attend schools in neighboring areas. This
not   only   places   a   financial   burden   on   families   but   also   limits   educational
opportunities for our youth, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
By enacting legislation to establish a national high school in Barangay Maasin, we
can eliminate these barriers and provide all students with the opportunity to receive
a quality education close to home. This will not only increase eurollment rates but
also improve educational outcomes and foster a sense of pride and belonging within
the barangay.
Furthermore, the creation of a national high school in Barangay Maasin will have
far-reaching  benefits  for Barangay  Maasin's  development and prosperity.  It will
serve  as  a  hub  for  academic,  cultural,  and  social  activities,  bringing  together
students, parents, educators, and barangay residents in a shared pursuit of knowledge
and growth.
It is in this light that the early approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

RENATI0NALIZING NAIC MEDICARE HOSPITAL LOCATED IN NAIC,

HXPLANATORY NOTE
This measure aims to renationalize the Naic Medicare Hospital, located in Naic, Cavite,
to ensure the standardization and enhancement of healthcare services provided by the hospital.
The measure seeks to implement a more uniform set of healthcare standards and protocols,
aligning the hospital' s services with national healthcare objectives and ensuring the delivery of
high-quality medical care to the community.
Moreover, this measure will alleviate the administrative and financial burden on the
Local Government Unit (LGU). Currently, the LGU of Cavite is tasked with the management
and funding of local healthcare facilities, which can strain their resources and impact the quality
of healthcare services. By returning the management, supervision, and control to the DOH, the
bill aims to relieve LGUs from these burdens, allowing them to reallocate resources to other


critical areas of local governance, ultimately benefiting the local population by ensuring access
to standardized, high-quality healthcare services.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

Explanatory Note 
The conversion from Extension office to District office of the Land Transportation Office in 
the Municipality of Cainta, Rizal, represents a significant step towards enhancing accessibility 
and efficiency in providing essential services in the 1st District of Rizal. This strategic move will 
bridge the gap between the government’s services and the underserved communities. 
Furthermore, the extension of services across provincial lines demonstrates commitment to 
regional cooperation and ensures that the broader population benefits from improved 
accessibility to LTO Services as its district office extends its reach to neighboring 
municipalities. 
As the Region continues to develop and progress, the number of registrants, transactions, 
and work services is expected to rise significantly. By the Conversion of LTO Cainta Extension 
Office to LTO Cainta District Office, we are ensuring that the needs of the people are met 
effectively, while also contributing to the overall development and progress of the region. 
Given these circumstances, the passage of this bill is not just advisable but indeed an 
imperative action to meet the evolving requirements of the local populace and promote the 
efficiency and effectiveness of government services in the region. 
It reflects the commitment to improving the lives of the people and the fostering of the 
development in the 1st District of Rizal, making this cause earnestly sought by all stakeholders 
involved.

AN ACT PROVIDING DISCOUNTED OR WAIVED FEES AND CHARGES TO 
INDIGENT JOB SEEKERS IN THE ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN PRE-EMPLOYMENT 
DOCUMENTS ISSUED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Constitution provides that the State shall afford full protection to labor, 
local and overseas, organized and unorganized, and promote full employment and 
equality of employment opportunities for all. They shall be entitled to security of 
tenure, humane conditions of work, and a living wage.1 
The Constitution also provides that the State shall promote a just and 
dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and independence of the nation 
and free the people from poverty through policies that provide adequate social 
services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, and an improved 
quality of life for all.2 Likewise, the State shall promote social justice in all phases of 
national development.3 
In promoting social justice, the State takes steps and measures to promote fairness 
and equity across many aspects of society. In doing so, the government is responsible for 
opening the doors of access and opportunity for everyone, particularly those in greatest need. 
In the employment process, after securing a job, the next hurdle for every 
applicant is the completion of numerous pre-employment documents. However, securing 
documents is not always easy and affordable especially to indigent applicants whose current 
resources, if any, is barely sufficient to address their daily basic needs. 
This bill seeks to provide assistance to indigent job seekers by easing their 
financial burden in complying with all the required pre-employment clearances,

AN ACT AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 11210, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE 
"105-DAY EXPANDED MATERNITY LEA VE LAW", GRANTING MATERNITY 
BENEFITS TO WOMEN WORKERS IN THE INFORMAL ECONOMY, 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The 1987 Philippine Constitution recognizes the importance of the role of women in 
nation-building. 
1 It also recognizes the need for the State to protect working women by providing 
them safe and healthful working conditions, taking into account their maternal functions, and 
such facilities and opportunities that will enhance their welfare and enable them to realize their 
full potential in the service of the nation. 2
This Constitutional provision is principally relevant to women workers in the informal 
economy. 
The informal economy consists of independent, self-employed small-scale producers and 
distributors of goods and services. Workers in this sector are for the most part not covered by the 
country's labor laws and regulations.3 Workers in the informal economy can include street 
vendors, petty goods and service traders, subsistence farmers, seasonal workers, domestic 
workers and industrial outworkers. A considerable number of these workers are women.4
Based on a study of the International Labour Organization, unlike their counterparts in 
the formal sector, workers in the informal economy have no or little job and social security 
protection. They do not have access to social security benefits that guarantee income security, 
particularly in cases of old age, unemployment, sickness, invalidity, work injury or maternity. 
This makes them particularly vulnerable to situations where they are unable to work (through 
their own, or a family member's sickness), as they have no income replacement.5
