NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
First Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. ___ 
Introduced by Representative WOWO FORTES 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road is 30.90 kilometers long that traverses the 
coastal barangays of Bulusan, Sta. Magdalena and Matnog municipalities in the Second 
District of Sorsogon. These three towns are known for their breathtaking sceneries and pristine 
beaches which make the Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road a very significant tourism 
access road in the area. 
This coastal road network helps in facilitating the transport of goods in the different 
towns of the province especially in the abovementioned municipalities. The Bulusan-Sta. 
Magdalena-Matnog Road also helps in the easy and convenient mobility of the residents 
particularly those who are from the coastal areas. Once it is further developed, it will also pave 
way to more economic activities in the area since these towns have excellent tourism potential. 
However, this vital road is still categorized as a local road and is under the care of the 
Provincial Government of Sorsogon. Due to the insufficient funding resources of the LGU, the 
improvement and maintenance of the said coastal road network is limited. Moreover, this 
hinders the sufficient annual allocation for the Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog Road. 
This bill seeks to convert the locally maintained road into a National Road so that it will 
be efficiently and effectively maintained by the Department of Public Works and Highways 
(DPWH) with the adequate funding from the National Government. 
The conversion of the 30.90 km Bulusan-Sta. Magdalena-Matnog road shall benefit 
Sorsoganons in the second district of Sorsogon, hence, the immediate approval of this bill is 
earnestly sought.
