INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVES KRISTINE SINGSON-MEEHAN 
AN ACT 
PROVIDING FOR THE CONVERTION OF THE SAN EMILIO-DEL PILAR ROAD, 
LOCATED AT BARANGAY PALTOC, SAN EMILIO, ILOCOS SUR AND BARANGAY 
ALFONSO, GREGORIO DEL PILAR, ILOCOS SUR INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The proposed bill aims to convert the San Emilio-Del Pilar Road located in the 
Municipalities of San Emilio and Gregorio Del Pilar, Ilocos Sur into a national road. 
The San Emilio-Del Pilar Road has an approximate distance of 22.4 kilometers and is a 
main thoroughfare that links the two municipalities. This road leads to well-known tourist 
destinations in the province of Ilocos Sur like the “Sangbay ni Ragsak” Falls in Suyo, Aw-Asen 
Falls in Sigay, and the Shrine of Tirad Pass in Gregorio Del Pilar.  
The San Emilio-Del Pilar Road is identified as a local road thus its development and 
maintenance falls into the responsibility of the two LGUs. But due to limited and low availability 
of funds in the LGUs, the true potential of the road, including the budding tourism in the area, is 
unachieved. Road building and road improvement, play a crucial part in development as it 
connects people and encourages trade and tourism to flourish. By transferring the responsibility 
of maintaining, repairing and improving the San Emilio-Del Pilar Road to the national 
government, it would greatly help the municipalities to pursue and focus more on their socio-
economic programs and endeavors. It would also boost tourism and uplift the lives of the people 
not only in those municipalities but of the whole province as well. If this measure is approved, the 
people from this area would directly benefit from the massive infrastructure program of the 
Department of Public Works and Highways under the Marcos administration.  
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
