EXPLANATORY NOTE 
No less than the fundamental law of the land recognizes the importance and primacy of 
health and well-being of the Filipino citizenry. Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Constitution 
explicitly declares that “The State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people and 
instill health consciousness among them.” Similarly, Article XIII on Health declares that it is the 
responsibility of “the State to adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health 
development which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services 
available to all the people at affordable cost”.  
The overall well-being of citizens is a major contributory factor to a strong and progressive 
nation. However, it’s a reality that quality healthcare is not accessible to many of our citizens most 
especially to those situated in rural areas and its far-flung communities. More so, many of our 
health facilities are ill-equipped to address the immediate medical needs of our countrymen. 
To address this perennial setback, the City of Tangub desires to have in each of its barangay 
the availability of Barangay Health Station (BHS) that is functional, fully-equipped, responsive, 
spacious and modern which can sufficiently cater to the health needs of its residents. A serviceable 
and efficient healthcare facility will greatly help in addressing the immediate medical needs of our 
people even those residing in remote areas. With this, we can ensure that each of our kababayans 
in the City of Tangub will receive the prompt and quality healthcare that they rightly deserve.  
Hence, approval of this bill is earnestly requested.
