House Bill No,_ 6795

Introduced by: Hon. Maria Isabelle G. Climaco

EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Zamboanga City issued last July 27, 2012 Resolution
No, 551 earnestly requesting for the filing of the necessary bill naming the whole stretch of
Climaco Avenue going to the boundary in the west coast of the city, presently known as
Zamboanga City-Labuan-Limpapa Road, as Mayor Cesar C. Climaco Highway.

Last June 19, 2012, in recognition of the late Mayor Cesar C. Climaco's
statesmanship and efforts during his term as a leader of Zamboanga City, he was given an
award by the National Historical Institute.

The late Mayor Cesar C. Climaco made an impact in the history of Zamboanga City
for his courage in venturing hotspots, his toughness towards policemen and his harmonious
relationship with the Muslim population. He is also a reputable public figure throughout the
country after making Zamboanga City as the cleanest city during his stint as local chief
executive. Consequently, he became an important personality during the martial law regime
as one of Marcos’ steadfast critics.

‘The unfortunate and point-blank murder of Mayor Cesar C. Climaco did not cease his
legacy. He serves as an immutable inspiration to Zamboanga City in keeping the flame of
patriotism, the unbreakable rapport among Zamboanguefios as well as the disposition towards
progress and development.

Thus, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
