EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The 1987 Philippine Constitution under Section 9 of Article II provides that
“The State shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the
prosperity and independence of the nation and free the people from poverty
through policies that provide adequate social services, promote full employment,
a rising standard of living, and an improved quality of life for all."

Montalban (Rodriguez), Rizal is a first class municipality in the province of
Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2020 National Census, it has a population of
443,954 peoplemaking it the most populous municipality in the Philippines. Rizal
province is closely connected with Metro Manila but access to the metro has been
challenged by its geographic location. Thus, there must be a need to improve its
road network while not undermining the local government capacity to maintain
transport networks locally.

Mayon Avenue’ F. Rodriguez Avenue is identified as a local road, so its
maintenance and improvement are under the responsibility of the local
government of Rizal. It is a reliable passageway heavily traversed by local
residents and a vital infrastructure link in the interconnectivity of municipalities,
mobility of people, transportation of goods and services, and the operation of the
province's socio-economic activities. Furthermore, the said road is a great help in
providing farmers in remote areas with better road access to the market and other
economic activities and in hastening the delivery of social services to the
barangays.

This bill seeks to legislate the conversion the Mayon Avenue/ F, Rodriguez
Avenue into a national road to improve the accessibility of residents, develop more
convenient route in the exchange of goods and services to and from the locality,
and provide more viable economic growth to the community. In view of the
foregoing, the expeditious passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
