HOUSE BILL NO. 5909

Introduced by Hon. Jerry P. Trefias

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert Jalandoni Street in Jaro, Iloilo City, presently classified as a
local city road, into a national road. It was originally filed as House Bill 3245 in the 15
Congress. It was passed on third reading by the House of Representatives and the Senate in the
previous Congress

This busy and often used road connects two major national roads, namely the Ioilo-Jaro
Diversion Road and the Hloilo-Capiz Road (Old Route) in Hloilo City. It is located in the heart of
Jaro, Iloilo City and directly leads to the SM City Iloilo, the largest mall in Iloilo City, The road
is also a major access route for numerous commercial establishments, hotels and famous city
landmarks

The conversion of the Jalandoni Street into a national road will allow the Department of
Public Works and Highways to maintain and improve this vital Toilo City thoroughfare.
Moreover, its conversion into a national highway will increase the vitality and hasten the
economic progress of the areas along, and accessed through, this major road.

In view of the foregoing, I highly recommend the approval of this Ifsslative Arcasure.

Dela Cruz, Aleta C, Suarez, Victor F, Ortega, Philip A. Pichay, Diosdado Macapagal Arroyo,
Lani Mercado-Revilla

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to repeal Republic Act No. 10354, otherwise known as “The Responsible
Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012” or the RH Law,

RH Law advocates consider our growing population as a burden and the cause of poverty in
our country, They are conveniently forgetting the fact that it is our growing population of
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their billions of dollars in remittances that is keeping our
country’s economy afloat

No less than His Holiness, Pope Francis has admonished and reminded us during his recent
“Meeting with Families” to “protect your families! See in them your country's greatest
treasure....Be sanctuaries of respect for life, proclaiming the sacredness of every human life from
conception to natural death”. He likewise criticized rich countries and international organizations
for what he called “ideological colonization” aimed at attacking traditional family values in
developing countries and influencing lifestyles and morals of young people.


We should be reinforcing the positive Filipino values in our children. Instead of teaching
them to use contraceptives and to look at pregnancy as a disease and a burden, we should be
promoting responsible parenthood and the culture of life. Instead of allocating billions of pesos
to buy condoms and contraceptives in implementing the RH Law, these funds should be put to
better use in providing genuine health services for the millions of poor Filipinos

The problem of severe poverty affecting a great number of Filipino families should be
addressed positively by governmenf instead of giving them massive doses of anti-life programs

that would only destroy the country} future.

its current name in honor of its first municipal mayor in 1990 by virtue of
Republic Act No. 6845.

Thus, in recognition of the men and women who pioneered the creation of
the Municipality of Don Mariano Marcos, now Don Victoriano Chiongbian, this
bill proposes to set September 17 as a non-working holiday in the municipality.
‘This day would be an opportunity for the residents to celebrate the milestones
achieved by the municipality and reflect on their duties and responsibilities as
people of Don Victoriano Chiongbian.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

HOUSE BILL NO, 5444

Introduced by REP. ROSENDO 8, LABADLABAD.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

There is an urgent need for the establishment of an Integrated School in Barangay Tian
in the Municipality of Jose Dalman, Province of Zamboanga del Norte. It is in consonance with
the current education program of the government to provide adequate and attainable
opportunities to young people in the far-flung areas.

Barangay Ilihan and its neighboring barangays comprise a service area where there is a
compelling need to establish an Integrated School. The proposed Integrated School is kilometers
away from the nearest National High School. There has been an alarming increase of elementary
graduates who are unable to pursue secondary education because of the inaccessible location and
the limited number of high schools within the vicinity. As majority of the population are
economically-challenged, private education is not a feasible alternative for them, Consequently,
elementary graduates become unproductive and are unable to contribute to the development of
their barangay. These underprivileged youth are being deprived of the opportunities which
progress offers. The service area concerned ultimately suffers depletion of valuable reserve of
educated youth from the secondary level and eventually at the tertiary level making it unable to
meet the manpower needs of the growing service area.

The establishment of an Integrated School will bring renewed hope to the community life
in Barangay Hihan and its neighboring barangays.

In view of the foregoing consideration, early approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill proposes the conversion of the Banuang Gurang, Donsol, Sorsogon ~ Jovellar,
Albay Road into a national road.

Since its construction, the road has fallen into disrepair due to lack of funds for its
maintenance from the Provincial Governments of Sorsogon and Albay. This is unfortunate as a
well-maintained road system leads to better mobility of people, goods and services across the
communities that make use of it, This road in particular will provide easier transport for
agricultural goods and farm produce between Sorsogon and Albay. Moreover, good roads will
lessen the travel time of the numerous eco-tourists going to Donsol via Albay.

National funds can better cover the cost of road maintenance and improvement of this
road and in view thereof, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.

Introduced by
Representatives EVELINA G, ESCUDERO and FERNANDO V. GONZALEZ

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill proposes the conversion of the Dancalan—Sta. Cruz, Donsol, Sorsogon to Bgy.
Buenavista, Pio Duran, Albay Road into a national road.

Since its construction, the road has fallen into disrepair due to both heavy use and lack of
funds for its maintenance from the Provincial Governments of Sorsogon and Albay. This is
unfortunate as a well-maintained road system leads to better mobility of people, goods and
services across the communities that make use of it, This road in particular will provide
fisherfolk with easier access to the fishing port of Pio Duran, Albay.

National funds can better cover the cost of road maintenance and improvement of this
road and in view thereof, the approval of this bill is urgently sought.

Introduced by Honorable Abdullah D, Dimaporo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Old
Poblacion, Municipality of Poona Piagapo, Lanao del Norte to be known as the
Old Poblacion National High School.

Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides:

“The State shall protect and promote the rights of all citizens to
quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to
make such education accessible to all.”

Situated in the outlying area of the Municipality of Poona Piagapo. The
nearest high school is approximately eight kilometers away from Barangay Old
Poblacion. The establishment of a national high school within the barangay will
help decongest other schools in nearby barangays and more importantly, it will
provide better access and opportunity for the students in the area to secure high
school education by reducing the distance, time and transportation expenses of our
constituents.

Consistent with the aforementioned Constitutional provision and in view of
the ever-increasing need for a complete, adequate and integrated system of
education, it is imperative to establish and maintain effective school facilities
which will give the youth in the locality an opportunity to an improved life through
meaningful and accessible education.

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is-earnestly sought.

Introduced by Rep. Winston “Winnie” Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is the lead government agency tasked to
manage natural disasters occurring in Metropolitan Manila, When natural calamities take
place, MMDA should have the free hand, unhampered authority to exercise its mandate. In
this lifetime, God forbid, scientific studies predict that the West Valley Fault affecting the
entire Metro Manila, is ripe for a major movement causing what is popularly known as The
Big One. As a foresight, we anticipate the aftermath and the whole of the metropolis would
do well to do all the necessary preparations. One aspect of preparedness, which is in line
with MMDA‘s Operation Yakal, lies in the pragmatic and actual chores of saving lives after a
big tremor. And to enable MMDA to discharge its duty of saving the lives of many, all M

operatives have to be authorized to commandeer any or all public or private
heavy equipment machines in order to effectively carry out rescue and s€arch operations
real time.

Hence, only in the event of such emergency should MMDA operatives be given this carte

blanche for purposes of saving lives.

The immediate passage of this measure is sought for.
