EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Municipality of Enrile is located at the south-western part of Cagayan adjacent to
Tuguegarao City and the Municipality of Sta. Maria, 1" District, Province of Isabela. It is
separated from the mainstream Maharlika Highway by the mighty Cagayan River but is
accessible through the Tuguegarao-Santiago Road. Access into and out of the municipality is
through two (2) routes: from the Tuguegarao-Santiago Road and the JP Rizal road that connects
seven (7) barangays of the municipality to the Municipality of Sta. Maria, 1" District, Province
of Isabela.

Enrile, Cagayan is an agricultural community. It is one of the producers of rice, corn, and
vegetables. The barangays of Lanna, Magalalag, Alibago, Maracuru, Inga, Lemu and Divisoria, is
connected by the JP Rizal Road and are all agricultural communities that transport their
produce either to the Enrile town proper, Tuguegarao City, or Sta . Maria, Isabela, The JP Rizal
Provincial Road, aside from a short span of asphalt, is graveled. This road condition hampers
the transfer of goods from these barangays as well the constituents’ access to institutional
service such as hospitals, schools, and the like.

This road network is vital to the progress of the Municipality of Enrile, Cagayan since this
road serves as a farm-to-market road mainly utilized by small farmers to transport their
produce in the nearby city and municipalities of the province of Cagayan and Isabela. Since the
said barangays are adjacent to the mighty Cagayan River, improving the access road will mean
easier transport of goods and services to these barangays especially during disasters.

For the benefit of constituents in these areas, approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.
