HOUSE BILL NO. 1079

Introduced by: HON. “KUYA” JOSE ANTONIO R. SY-ALVARADO
EXPLANATORY NOTE

As early as the 14" Congress, Representatives from the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga
and Bataan and the cities of Manila, Caloocan, Valenzuela and Navotas petitioned for the
construction of the Manila to Bataan North Coastal Road as an alternative route from Manila to
Bataan. The proposal was aimed to ease the flow of traffic in areas covered by the North Luzon
Expressway. This direct access route circumnavigating the northern portion of Manila Bay will
help ease the traffic in EDSA and will jumpstart industrial growth along the stretch of coastal area
that is previously underdeveloped and prone to flooding.

It is hoped that this project will spur tremendous economic development, especially in the
aquaculture industry and promote eco-tourism in this bend of Manila Bay. The proposed Manila
to Bataan North Coastal Road can provide an avenue of sustainable growth and development in
terms of further investments to local industry, tourism, service-related jobs and cutting the costs
for both businesses and consumers.

This bill seeks to appropriate funds for the construction of a four (4) lanes and national
coastal highway directly connecting Metropolitan Manila to the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga
and Bataan. Having a national highway connecting these bustling centers of socio-economic
growth will work to benefit the country. The volume trade and commerce are expected to increase
exponentially as the economies and urban population of these areas are linked and continue to
grow.

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