AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN BARANGAY 
SALVACION, CITY OF ORMOC IN THE PROVINCE OF LEYTE TO BE KNOWN 
AS SALVACION NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution declares that the State shall ,give 
priority to education. The Constitution further provides that the State shall protect and 
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take 
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. Education plays a 
fundamental role In shaping the life of the Filipino people.
There is a great discrepancy on the number of elementary schools and 
secondary schools in Ormoc City. To date, there are 83 elementary schools and only 
16 secondary schools in the said city, thus, the lack of secondary schools resulted to 
congestion. Overpopulation in schools can hinder students learning because it is no 
longer a conducive environment to give quality education.
This bill, therefore, seeks the establishment of a new national high school in 
Barangay Salvacion, Ormoc City to be known as Salvacion National High School. 
Moreover, this measure will help the Province of Leyte in providing quality and 
accessible education to their youth.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.

AN ACT CONVERTING THE MAGSAYSAY-HAGONOY-MATANAO 
PROVINCIAL ROAD IN THE PROVINCE OF DAVAO DEL SUR, INTO A
NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 13, Article X of our Constitution, under Article X, Section 13 states 
that, "Local government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their 
efforts, services, and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them in 
accordance with law." Well-maintained roads are important for better transport of 
goods and services, particularly in the rural areas of the country.
This road connects major crossroads linking the provinces. It is also 
strategically located because the Municipalities of Matanao, Magsaysaysay and 
Hagonoy, to which this road traverses and connects have significant socio-economic 
and agricultural potential in the province. The conversion and maintenance of this 
road will be a great contribution not only to the local economy of the Province of 
Davao del Sur, but also to other local economies in the region.
Hence, this measure seeks to convert the Magsaysay-Matanao-Hagonoy 
provincial road in the Province of Davao Del Sur into a national road. Additionally, the 
conversion and proper maintenance of this road, agricultural products and other farm 
produce from bountiful farmlands will be transited to the markets in the province 
expeditiously.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this measure earnestly
sought.

DECLARING CITY OF ANTIPOLO AS THE CAPITAL OF THE PROVINCE OF 
RIZAL AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE ACT NO. 137, AS AMENDED
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to Act No. 137 of year 1901, which created the Province of Rizal, 
Pasig was established as its capital.
In 1975, however, with the enactment of Presidential Decree No. 824, Pasig 
ceased to be part of Rizal and since then has been under the territorial and political 
jurisdiction of Metro Manila. With this development. Antipolo became the de facto 
seat of government of Rizal.
To formally recognize Antipolo as such, this Bill proposes to amend Act No. 
137 and officially declare Antipolo City as the capital of the Province of Rizal.
House Bill No. 2998 on the same subject matter has passed Third Reading in 
the Lower House and has been transmitted to the Senate last November 6, 2019.
In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this Bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall 
protect the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them. 
It is the policy of the state to ensure that all communities have access to quality and 
accessible healthcare.
The Mangatarem District Hospital offers medical and health care services to the 
residents of the Municipality of Mangatarem, Pangasinan and as well as its neighboring 
communities. Throughout the years there has been a consistent increase in the 
admission of patients, with an admission rate of 80 to 130 patients daily. With only 
twenty-five (25) beds, it cannot offer sufficient medical and health care services to 
those in need.
To address the medical needs and provide an effective delivery of health 
services to the residents of Mangatarem and its neighboring communities, this bill 
seeks to increase the bed capacity of the Mangatarem District Hospital from the 
present twenty-five (25) bed capacity to fifty (50) bed capacity.
Given the abovementioned circumstances, the immediate passage of this bill is 
earnestly sought.

AN ACT
DECLARING JULY 2 OF EVERY YEAR A SPECIAL NONWORKING HOLIDAY IN 
PASIG CITY, TO BE KNOWN AS THE “ANNIVERSARY DAY OF PASIG CITY”
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to declare the 2nd day of July as the “Araw ng Pasig”.
The City of Pasig lies approximately on the southeastern end of the Pasig River. It is 
bounded by Quezon City and Marikina on the north, the municipalities of Cainta and Taytay on 
the east, the city of Mandaluyong on the west, and the cities of Taguig, Pateros and Makati on the 
south. A known linguist noted that the word "pasig” is believed to have originated from a Sanskrit 
term which means a “river that flowed from one body of water to another”.
As a brief historical background-Pasig is considered as one of the oldest municipalities in 
the Philippines, as it was founded by the Augustinians on July 2, 1572. On June 11, 1901, Act No. 
137 incorporated Pasig City into the newly created province of Rizal where it became its provincial 
capital. However, in 1975, Presidential Decree No. 824 made Pasig as part of Metro Manila.
Almost a decade later on July 26, 1994, the passage of Republic Act No. 7829 converted 
Pasig into a highly urbanized city. On January 21, 1995, the law was ratified by the people of Pasig 
through a plebiscite. Since 2004, Araw ng Pasig has been celebrated every 2nd day of July through 
Proclamation No. 656, consistent with the day it was founded in 1572.
From a center of trade and commerce during the pre-Hispanic period, Pasig is presently 
known to be a highly urbanized city with its progressively growing residential, commercial, 
education, industrial and recreational facilities. It has been recognized by UNESCO and the 
National Commission for Culture and Arts as an outstanding culture-friendly local government


unit. It has also garnered the Crown Award as a consistent regional outstanding winner in nutrition 
and earned the Green Banner Award of the Department of Health and the National Nutrition 
Council as the most outstanding city in NCR in nutrition program implementation and 
management.
In order to give Pasig City the recognition that it truly deserves, the approval of the 
proposed measure is earnestly requested.

HOSPITAL IN BARANGAY LAMIDAN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF 
DON MARCELINO, PROVINCE OF DAVAO OCCIDENTAL TO BE 
KNOWN AS LAMIDAN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates that, "The 
State shall protect the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness 
among them." It is mandated by the highest law of the land to ensure that all 
communities have access to quality and accessible healthcare.
Barangay Lamidan is one of the poorest barangays of the lone district in the 
Province of Davao Occidental. The major means of livelihood is coconut and kopra as 
their byproduct. Most of the residents are coconut plantation workers, including their 
children in order to finance their daily living, thereby depriving children of their 
educational opportunities. It is not surprising that in their list of priorities if there are 
any, health is at the bottom but is not totally excluded.
In consonance with the abovementioned provision of the Constitution, this bill 
seeks to establish of a community hospital in Barangay Lamidan, Municipality of Don 
Marcelino, Province of Davao Occidental to be known as Lamidan Community Hospital. 
This will certainly fulfill the healthcare needs of these underprivileged people and it is 
hoped that their health issues will be properly addressed.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.

AN ACT
INCREASING THE BED CAPACITY OF QUIRINO MEMORIAL MEDICAL 
CENTER FROM FIVE HUNDRED (500) BEDS TO ONE THOUSAND (1,000) 
BEDS AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR IT AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall 
protect the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them. 
It is the policy of the state to ensure that all communities have access to quality and 
accessible healthcare.
The Quirino Memorial Medical Center offers medical and health care services to 
Quezon City, the most populous city in the National Capital Region and it's neighboring 
communities. It is a level 3 teaching and training medical center with an authorized 
bed capacity of five hundred (500) beds. QMMC's percentage of occupancy based on 
authorized bed capacity remains high at an average annual occupancy rate at 
267.87%. This means that the institution operates at a level that is more than twice 
its capacity.
To address this problem, this bill seeks to increase the bed capacity of the 
Quirino Memorial medical Center from 500 to 1,000. This will ensure that Quezon City 
and its neighboring communities are provided with quality and accessible medical and 
health care services.
In view of the foregoing reasons, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN 
BARANGAY SACUB, MUNICIPALITY OF HAGONOY, PROVINCE OF 
DAVAO DEL SUR, TO BE KNOWN AS SACUB NATIONAL HIGH 
SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article XIV, Section 2, paragraph 2 provides that, 
"The State shall establish and maintain, a system of free public education in the 
elementary and high school levels."
The Municipality of Hagonoy in the Province of Davao del Sur has been reported 
as having one of the dense population in the province. It is known that only a small 
percentage of graduates of elementary school every year in this area are able to get 
to high school due to poverty. The nearest public high school therefrom is the Digos 
National High school. The youth in the said municipality still needs to travel which 
means additional burden for them and for their parents who are mostly plain laborers. 
Furthermore, the said public high school is already heavily congested with students 
from different municipalities of the province.
In line with the mandate of the Constitution, this bill seeks to establish a national 
high school in Barangay Sacub, Municipality of Hagonoy, Province of Davao Del Sur to 
be known as the Sacub National High School. Now, more than ever, is the time that 
Barangay Sacub have its own high school to alleviate the lives of the people..
Considering the foregoing, the speedy passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGHSCHOOL IN BARANGAY 
INUDARAN I, MUNICIPALITY OF SAPAD, PROVINCE OF LANAO 
DEL NORTE, TO BE KNOWN AS THE INUDARAN I NATIONAL 
HIGH SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides that, "The State shall 
protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall 
take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all." Education is a 
fundamental right of every Filipino.
Located in the outskirts area of the Municipality of Sapad, the nearest high school 
is approximately ten kilometers away from Inudaran I. The youth in the said barangay 
are more likely to travel to the closest secondary school, which inevitably adds to their 
expenses. The establishment of a national high school within the barangay would 
therefore help to decongest other schools in nearby barangays and provide accessible 
quality education for the youth.
Pursuant to the aforementioned Constitutional provision, this bill aims to 
establish a national high school in Barangay Inudaran I (one). Municipality of Sapad, 
Lanao del Norte to be known as the Inudaran I (one) National High School.
In view of the increasing need for a complete, adequate and integrated system 
of education, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 15 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall 
protect the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them. 
It is the policy of the state to ensure that all communities have access to quality and 
accessible healthcare.
The Sinait District Hospital provides preventive, curative rehabilitative, 
emergency health and supportive professional services to the residents of Sinait, 
Cabugao and San Juan. In the past years, there has been a significant increase in 
admitted patients and the twenty-five (25) bed capacity hospital can no longer provide 
adequate accommodation.
To ensure that these communities are provided efficient access to quality health 
care, this bill seeks to increase the bed capacity of the Sinait District Hospital from 
twenty-five (25) to one hundred (100).

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DISTRICT HOSPITAL 
IN ILIGAN CITY TO BE KNOWN AS THE ILIGAN CITY DISTRICT HOSPITAL 
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article XIII, Section 11 of the 1987 Constitution provides that "The State shall 
adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development which shall 
endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all the 
people at affordable cost. There shall be priority for the needs of the under-privileged, 
sick, elderly, disabled, women, and children. The State shall endeavor to provide free 
medical care to paupers."
Iligan City is geographically located in the Province of Lanao del Norte but 
administered independently from the province and part of the Region X. There is only 
one government hospital In Iligan, the Gregorio T. LIuch Memorial Hospital which is 
managed by the local government unit of Iligan City. Regrettably, the said hospital is 
not equipped with adequate medical facilities and services to cater all the needs of the 
people. The residents of Iligan City still have to endure the two-hour journey to 
Cagayan de Oro just to attain better medical services.
Taking into consideration these circumstances and pursuant to the constitutional 
mandate of the State, this measure aims to establish a district hospital in Iligan City to 
augment the lack of efficient, accessible and affordable health care in the City.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give 
priority to education. The Constitution further declares that the State shall protect and 
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take 
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all. Thus, the establishment, 
maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and society is a priority of the State.
Barangay Marcos is the heart of the Municipality of Santa with no national high 
school of Its own. Barangays offering free public high school education are quite far 
from the center of the town and can no longer accommodate the increasing number 
of enrollees each year. Thus, it is necessary that a national high school be established 
to make education more accessible not only to Barangay Marcos, as well as nine (9) 
other barangays.
To provide the community with free, accessible and quality education, this bill 
proposes to establish a national high school in Barangay Marcos in the Municipality of 
Santa to be known as Santa National High School.
