EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Bill seeks to convert the stretch of road known as Centennial Avenue
(La  Guerta-Arandia  Road)  situated  within  Muntinlupa  City,  Metro  Manila,
National  Capital  Region,  extending to the Cuyab-San Roque-Poblacion Road
situated in San Pedro City, Laguna, Region IV-A, into a National Road.
The above-mentioned road situated within Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila,
National  Capital  Region,  navigates towards  southemly  direction  starting  at  a
junction along Daang Mcharlika Primary Road in Barangay Tunasan, and extends
into the Cuyab-San Roque-Poblacion Road in San Pedro City, Laguna, Region
IV-A.   Its alignment starts at Centennial Avenue in Muntinlupa and crosses the
Cuyab Bridge which navigates along the streets of Cuyab, Anchoriz, San Roque
and Cataquiz and ends at Daang Mcharlika (Manila South Road). The subject
road  has  an approximate length of 2,000.00  linear meters  in Muntinlupa and
2,670.00 linear meters in San Pedro.
According to 2020 Census of Population and Housing, both cities have a
combined population of almost a million people, with 543,445  in Muntinlupa
City,  and 326,001  in  Sam Pedro  City. Based on the configuration of the road
network, the alignment will serve as a by-pass road which will minimize the
traffic volume along the Daang Maharlika and the intersections of Susan Heights,
Maharlika Road and Brgy. Nueva, providing an alternate route for residents of
the  two  cities.  Considering  its  vital  national  function,  it  is  recommended  to
convert the two road networks into a continuous National Road to utilize their
fullest potential.
Giventheincreasingnumberofvehiclespassingthroughthisroad,itwould
require periodic maintenance and improvement which can only be supported by


the national government.  The conversion of the Centennial Avenue-Cuyab-Sam
Roque-  Poblacion Road is beneficial to the movement of people,  goods,  and
services. The conversion would have a significant impact to the cities that are
linked together.
