EXPLANATORY NOTE

The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) has become a major factor in the
growth and development of Central Luzon, particularly the province of
Pampanga.

However, the use of the NLEX, particularly for short distance or inter-
barangay travel has become costly and impractical for many people in the
Province of Pampanga

It is therefore imperative for government to provide an effective
alternative that would cut travel time, reduce cost, enhance rural productivity,
and link far flung barangays to their city and town centers.

Hence, this bill proposes to construct a service road along the North
Luzon Expressway, within the Province of Pampanga, to help ease the
transportation problems experienced most notably by farmers and the
commuting public who need to go through the NLEX even for every short
distance trips

The construction of the service road will likewise contribute to the
further growth and development of the towns of San Simon, Sto. Tomas,
Mexico and the Cities of Mabalacat, San Fernando and Angeles in
Pampanga, as well as certain towns of the adjoining provinces.

In view of the foregoing, early passage of this measure is eamestly
sought.
