EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is declared policy of the State that education, including science and technology, arts,
culture, and sports is a priority of the State. It is then the mandate of the government to provide a
system of education including providing for a free public elementary and high school. That is why
the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines explicitly states that the highest budgetary
priority shall be given to education. As such, it is mandate of the Department of Education to
ensure that affordable and accessible education is accorded to every Filipino regardless of age,
gender and ability. That is why almost every year, the annual appropriations for the Department
of Education is prioritized as a necessary tool for the overall development and progress of our

, nation. In accordance to those mentioned above, this Representation is filing this bill for the
creation of National High School in Barangay Canalate, City of Malolos, in the 1* District of

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Barangay Manapao,
Barangay Malitbog and Barangay Tariric, all within the Municipality of Minalabac,
Camarines Sur, into a National Road

Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National Road is
strategically connected to the economic centers within the Province of Camarines
Sur and the Bicol Region and is vital to accelerate development and increase
economic activity within the Second District primarily and the entire Camarines Sur
and the Bicol Region as a whole.

The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and efficient
transportation of basic goods and the delivery of necessary services. It is projected
that such road conversion shall promote livelihood opportunities, encourage

The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to national roads

as prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public Works and Highways
have been substantially met, and the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

HOUSE BILL No, 2282_

Introduced by HONORABLE LUIS RAYMUND F. VILLAFUERTE, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Albeit being one of the most important economic sectors in the country, there is a
glaring inadequacy in the number of our municipal fishing ports. Fish ports are critical
in post-harvest facilities and serve as the main distribution centers for the nearby
areas as well as for distant markets. As underutilization has been a major issue for
regional ports, studies have suggested the construction of fish ports in the municipal
level instead, giving priority to localities where there are greater inter-municipal
usage potential

The study of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies of fishing ports in the
country suggests that the national government should prioritize the building of new
ports in municipalities that have no ports yet. In order to push fishing port
development in the country, this bill proposes the establishment of a fish port in
Libmanan in the province of Camarines Sur. Further, this bill proposes to implement
a training and phasing-in program for local government personnel in order to uphold
proper environment management.

The approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

LOCATED AT BARANGAY PALTOC, SAN EMILIO, ILOCOS SUR AND BARANGAY
ALFONSO, GREGORIO DEL PILAR, ILOCOS SUR INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The proposed bill aims to convert the San Emilio-Del Pilar road located in the Municipalities of
San Emilio and Gregorio Del Pilar, Ilocos Sur into a national road.

With an approximate distance of 22.4 kilometers and is the main thoroughfare that links the three
municipalities. This road leads to well known tourist destinations in the province of Ilocos Sur
like the “Sangbay ni Ragsak” Falls in Suyo, Aw-Asen Falls in Sigay, and the Shrine of Tirad
Pass in Gregorio Del Pilar.

‘The San Emilio-Del Pilar road is identified as a local road thus its development and maintenance
falls into the responsibility of the local government. But due to difficulties in appropriating funds
from the local government, and because the funds of the local governments are limited, the true
Potential of the road, including the tourist potential of the area, is unachieved. Road building and
road improvement, play a crucial part in development as it connects people and encourages trade
and tourism to flourish. By transferring the responsibility of maintaining, repairing and
improving the San Emilio-Del Pilar road to the national government, it would greatly help the
municipalities in their socio-economic endeavors, boost tourism and uplift the lives of the people
not only in those municipalities but of the whole province. If this measure is approved, the
people from these municipalities could and would directly benefit from President Rodrigo R.
Duterte’s massive “BUILD BUILD BUILD” infrastructure program under the Department of
Public Works and Highways.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is eamestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs,
and ultimately succeed fully in life. Education is very important, and no one should
be deprived of it.

The Constitution mandates the State to protect and promote the right of all citizens to
quality education at all levels and to take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.

This bill seeks to convert the San Antonio High School into San Antonio National
High School with the end view of promoting quality education as envisioned by the
Constitution as the Municipality of Milaor does not have sufficient funds to support
the needs of the school and its students. Due to this situation, the school and its
students are currently suffering from lack of facilities, materials and qualified faculty.
There is an urgent need, therefor, to pass the burden to the national government if
only to pursue the constitutional mandate of promoting the right of citizens to quality
education.

Hence, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE JUMEL ANTHONY I. ESPINO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The barangay is the basic political unit in the Philippines. It is the institution that
directly and readily provides immediate assistance to the people in the community level. On
account of this orientation, the barangay officials, as the front-liners of government service,
are expected to be ON CALL ANYTIME of the day and be able to give IMMEDIATE
RESPONSE and resolutions to the needs and concerns that people encounter in their daily
grind.

It is unfortunate, however, that the barangay officials’ devotion to duty and public
service is not matched with commensurate incentives. As life becomes harder for the
common man due to the present economic woes of the country, it becomes even more
imperative to give our hardworking public servants assistance in terms of giving more
reasonable honoraria to allow them to cope up during these difficult times.

This measure is a number of attempt to give dignity to the office of our barangay
officials. The early approval of this bill, therefore, is respectfully and earnestly prayed for.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article XV, Section 4 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that “The family has the
duty to care for its elderly members but the State may also do so through just programs of social
security.”

The enactment of Republic Act 10868 giving honor to Filipinos who have reached the age of
one hundred years old whether residing in the Philippines or abroad, is a testament that the State
accords due respect, appreciation and importance to our elderlies particularly those who reached the
age of one hundred.

However, very few people reach the centenarian age and granting that they have reached it,
they were not able to enjoy the privilege accorded to them by law due to health deterioration.

World Health Organization data reveals that Filipinos have a life expectancy at birth of 66
years for male and 73 years for female. Out of over 100 Million population in our country, a
projected number of more or less 900,000 people belong to the age group of 80 years old and above.

This bill seeks to amend the current law by advancing the grant of privileges to our elderlies
upon reaching the ages of eight-five (85), ninety (90) and ninety-five (95).

With this bill, our elderlies belonging to said ages, who are stillin good health conditions,can
enjoy these entitlements with their families.

Hence, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

On November 28, 1992, Republic Act 7228, “An Act Creating the Province of
Sarangani” was ratified, separating Sarangani from South Cotabato. The people of Sarangani
have remained strong and united ever since. Verily, Sarangani has come a long way since its
inception, achieving gradual yet significant progress in terms of economic development and
provision of public services and infrastructure. More importantly, the Sarangans, or the people
of Sarangani, have fully embraced their provincial identity. This is exemplified in our annual
MunaTo Festival, coinciding with our foundation day, wherein the proud and mighty
Sarangans commemorate our rich history as one of the First Peoples in the Philippines as
established by archeological evidence.

In view of the foregoing, and in further affirmation of the unity and common identity
of Sarangans, this representation is hereby seeking the approval of this bill, which would
designate November 28 of each year as a non-working holiday in Sarangani. This will
undeniably pave way for a more meaningful observance of this special day in our province.

HOUSE BILL NO. 17ea

Introduced by HON. LUIS RAYMUND “LRAY” F. VILLAFUERTE, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs,
and ultimately succeed fully in life. Education is very important, and no one should
be deprived of it.

The Constitution mandates the State to protect and promote the right of all citizens to
quality education at all levels and to take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.

This bill seeks to convert the Pamukid National High School into Pamukid National
Science High School with the end view of promoting quality education as envisioned
by the Constitution as the Municipality of San Fernando does not have sufficient
funds to support the needs of the school and its students. Due to this situation, the
school and its students are currently suffering from lack of facilities, materials and
qualified faculty. There is an urgent need, therefor, to pass the burden to the national
government if only to pursue the constitutional mandate of promoting the right of
citizens to quality education.

Hence, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

AN ACT CONVERTING THE POBLACION CARLES-BANCAL ROAD IN THE
MUNICIPALITY OF CARLES, PROVINCE OF ILOILO INTO A NATIONAL ROAD,
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR

This bill seeks to convert the Poblacion Carles-Bancal Road in the Municipality
of Carles in the Province of lloilo into a national road.

The Poblacion Carles-Bancal Road is a key access road leading to the Bancal
Port and to the Gigantes group of islands that form part of the Northern lloilo Cluster
which is popularly known as the Alaska of the Philippines because of its rich fishing
grounds. Several islands with beautiful and unpolluted beaches can be found in the
Northern lloilo Cluster ideal for eco-tourism and as a marine sanctuary.

Declaring the Poblacion Carles-Bancal Road as a national road and thereby
allowing the appropriation of funds from the national government for its regular
maintenance and repair would pave the way for faster flow of services and movement
of goods. This will also cater to the increasing number of tourists that flocked the area
since the Gigantes group of islands gained media recognition. In 2015, Northern lloilo
registered 79,111 tourist arrivals generating tourism revenue of Php 1.44 billion.

The government should invest on the improvement and maintenance of roads
leading to major tourist and economic destinations to catalyze the development of eco-
tourism in the country.

For these reasons, the approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.
