ENGINEERING OFFICESIN THE PROVINCE OF NUEVA VIZCAYA INTO

THEREFOR

This bill seeks to reconstitute the First and Second District Engineering Offices in the
Province of Nueva Vizcaya into three separate and distinct district engineering offices.

The Province of Nueva Vizcaya is the gateway to Cagayan Valley. It comprises of fifteen
municipalities. At present, there are two district engineering offices. Considering the increasing
population and the continuing growth and development and mountainous terrain of the Province of
Nueva Vizcaya, the existing district engineering offices no longer ensure the efficient administration
of its various infrastructure projects.

Reconstituting the existing engineering offices into three district engineering offices will
equally distribute the number of municipalities in each district offices. The First District Engineering
Office will serve the municipalities of Solano, Bagabag, Diadi, Villaverde and Quezon. The Second
District Engineering Office will serve the municipalities of Aritao, Dupax del Norte, Dupax del Sur,
Sta. Fe and Alfonso Castafieda. The Third District Engineering Office will serve the municipalities
of Bambang, Bayombong, Kasibu, Kayapa and Ambagi

To ensure the effective and efficient administration and the responsible handling of the
improvement, maintenance, and development of vital public works projects in the municipalities of
the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
