EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert the road traversing Barangays Poblacion 
East, San Mariano, Balloy, Cabuloan, Libsong and Pataquid of the 
Municipality of Sta. Maria, Province of Pangasinan to Barangays Lumayao, 
Bolintaguen, Ungib, Cabalaoangan, and Zone 1 of the Municipality of San 
Quintin, Province of Pangasinan, from a provincial road into a national 
road. 
The Province of Pangasinan is one of the biggest provinces in the 
Philippines not only in terms of land area and agricultural productivity but 
population as well. It is a well-visited tourism province with multi-
provincial boundaries which heavily relies on the comfort of mobility that 
is closely attached to the construction and maintenance of good roads for 
economic growth. 
One of the provincial roads vital to socio-economic trade is the road 
traversing Barangays Poblacion East, San Mariano, Balloy, Cabuloan, 
Libsong and Pataquid of the Municipality of Sta. Maria, Province of 
Pangasinan to Barangays Lumayao, Bolintaguen, Ungib, Cabalaoangan, 
and Zone 1 of the Municipality of San Quintin, Province of Pangasinan. 
The said roadline connects the Pangasinan-Vizcaya National Road and the 
San Nicolas-Natividad-San Quintin- Umingan National Road. It being an 
important link to two national roads, its conversion will considerably 
advance socio-economic growth in Pangasinan and neighboring provinces, 
and will assure the provision of much needed funds for its long term 
maintenance, not to mention the repair and maintenance savings that it

will favor the provincial government. The subject provincial roadline is also 
compliant with the specifications required in a national road. 
 
 
 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
