HOUSE BILL NO. 2086 
Introduced by Representative Antonio “Tonypet” T. Albano 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The San Pedro-San Juan-Lullutan Provincial Road is a 30-kilometer 
road network which connects the Santiago-Tuguegarao National Road and 
the Ilagan-Delfin Albano National Road. The whole stretch spans the 
economically emerging municipality of Roxas, Isabela through Barangay San 
Juan, Quirino and ending up to the provincial center of Ilagan City. It is a 
continuous seamless stretch which links western Isabela to the economic 
and civic centers of the province. Through this thoroughfare, the 
agricultural and commercial products, along with the labor and skills 
markers of the municipalities of Roxas and Quirino, and Ilagan City are 
exchanged and traded for their common benefit. 
As it is now, the 30-kilometer San Pedro-San Juan-Lullutan Provincial 
Road, is in a state of constant disrepair as it is dependent on the meager 
resources of the Province for its continuous rehabilitation and maintenance. 
While it may be the closest and fastest link of the Municipalities of Roxas 
and Quirino City, the limited resources of the provincial government 
hindered it from properly and sufficiently allocating every year what this 
road network actually needs. 
The urgent need for the reclassification of the road’s category is 
merited by the growing needs of the communities connected by this stretch. 
The linked municipalities are emerging communities and dynamic economic 
hubs which must be interlinked with the provincial center in the most 
efficient of ways. The conversion to the national road of the San Pedro-San 
Juan-Lullutan Provincial road will most certainly improve the exchange of 
agricultural and commercial goods and the trade of services in the province.

If the San Pedro-Lullutan Provincial Road is finally converted to national 
road, it will be well maintained and regularly paved affording the motorists 
and the traders fast and efficient thoroughfare to move goods and services 
from the Municipality of Roxas to Ilagan City and beyond. 
The conversion of San Pedro-Lullutan Provincial road to a national 
road will definitely enhance access to government, civic and commercial 
establishment as a well-maintained road network will bring hospitals, 
churches academic institutions and commercial establishments even closer 
to the people in need. 
As the provincial government of Isabela has budget constraints to 
provide the San Pedro-Lullutan Provincial road the same level of periodic 
repairs and maintenance of a national road, it has become imperative that 
this critical road network be now classified a national road. If it will be so, 
its conversion to a national road will also result to substantial savings in the 
current budget of the provincial government which it can now devote to 
more pressing poverty alleviation projects and other local government 
programs. 
Hence, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
