House Bill No, 1042

Introduced by: Hon. Ma. Victoria Co - Pilar

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Philippines is still hurdling the physical, mental, and societal effects of
the COVID 19 pandemic. This pandemic took lives, livelihood and opportunities.
The COVID-19 pandemic showed us our standing in the delivery of medical
services. It taught us what we lack in governance. Also, it showed us that the
efforts of the 18th Congress mitigated this effects.

Regardless of the of the pandemic, we have a mandate to be swift, efficient
and effective to resolve this. The 1987 Constitution requires us, to protect and
promote the right to health of the people and instill consciousness among them.
‘Also, R.A. No. 7160 requires the coordination of the National Government and
Local Government in the implementation of government programs. In the
Mandanas-Garcia ruling/law, the Supreme Court recognised the capability of
our local governments in assuming the important government services. The
Executive Branch, issued Executive Order 138,s. 2021 in support of this ruling.
The Executive Order devolved to the local government units some functions of
the National Government unit.

With this view, this Bill will address our shortcomings in the medical
sector. This will establish a district hospital in Barangay Baesa, Quezon City
which will be known as Pascual District 6 Hospital of Quezon City. This hospital
aims to accept more patients, prevent discases and promote healthy living. *
Also, this Bill acknowledges the capability of the Quezon City government to
assume its new role in the medical sector,

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