AN ACT
DECLARING DECEMBER 12 OF EVERY YEAR A SPECIAL WORKING HOLIDAY 
IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO COMMEMORATE 
THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Roman Catholic religion celebrates a number of festivities to commemorate 
important events and celebrate their faith. Being a predominantly Catholic country with 
more than 86% of the Filipino population practicing the Roman Catholic faith, catholic 
festivities are widely observed and celebrated in the Philippines.
One of such celebrations is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which is 
celebrated every December 12 to commemorate Mary's apparition to Saint Juan Diego 
in the Hill of Tepeyac in Mexico City in 1531. In the Philippines, Our Lady of Guadalupe 
is venerated as the patron of the unborn, sick, aging, disabled and other people whose 
lives are threatened. She is also declared as the Heavenly Patroness of the Philippines.
This bill seeks to declare the 12th of December of every year as a special working 
holiday in the Philippines to commemorate the Feast of Our Lady Of Guadalupe. This 
will allow our countrymen who practice the Roman Catholic faith to observe and 
celebrate the significance of this day to their faith.
In view of the foregoing, swift passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN 
BARANGAY BACUNGAN, MUNICIPALITY OF MAGSAYSAY, 
PROVINCE OF DAVAO DEL SUR TO BE KNOWN AS THE 
BACUNGAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND APPROPRIATING
FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article XIV, Section 1 of our Constitution mandates 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." Section 2, paragraph 2 
of the same Article further mandates that, " The State shall establish and maintain, a 
system of free public education in the elementary and high school levels."
The Municipality of Magsaysay in Davao del Sur is home to one of the largest 
communities in the entire province. Ironically, it is reported that just a small percentage 
of the graduates of elementary school every year in this area are able to pursue 
secondary education because of poverty. The nearest public high school therefrom is 
the Matanao National High school. However, the said public high school is already 
congested with students coming from different municipalities of Davao del Sur and 
thus, the school can no longer provide a conducive environment for learning.
This bill therefor seeks to establish a national high school in Barangay Bacungan, 
Municipality of Magsaysay, Province of Davao del Sur, to be known as the Bacungan 
National High School. It is now more timely than ever that Bacungan should have its 
own high school through the passage of this bill into law.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly requested.

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 ail communities have access to quality and 
accessible healthcare.
The Magsingal District Hospital offers preventive, curative and rehabilitative 
services to the residents of Magsingal, Santo Domingo, San Ildefonso and its 
surrounding communities. It provides ancillary services like x-ray, dental, laboratory 
and other professional medical and health care services. Currently, the hospital is 
receiving an increased number of patients that need to be admitted. With a bed 
capacity of only twenty-five (25) beds, it is unable to extend its services to those in 
desperate need.
To address this problem, this bill seeks to increase the bed capacity of 
Magsingal District Hospital from twenty-five (25) to one hundred (100).
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 1, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution provides that, "The State shall 
protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education at all levels and

school is approximately three kilometers away from Barangay Kahayagan. The 
students in the area still needs to travel which is an additional expense to them 
especially to their parents who mostly are laborers.
The establishment of a national high school within the barangay will help 
decongest other schools in nearby communities and more importantly, it will provide 
the students better access to secondary education.
Consistent with the aforementioned Constitutional mandate, this bill seeks to 
establish a national high school in Barangay Kahayagan, Municipaiity of Kapatagan, 
Lanao del Norte to be known as the Kahayagan National High School. This will give 
the youth in the locality an opportunity to an improved life through meaningfui and 
accessible education.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bili is earnestly sought.

AN ACT
ESTABLISHING A GENERAL HOSPITAL IN THE CITY OF BACOLOD, 
PROVINCE OF NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, TO BE KNOWN AS THE BACOLOD 
CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to establish the Bacolod City General Hospital in the City of 
Bacolod, Negros Occidental which is envisioned to provide health care to the people 
of the Lone District of Bacolod.
Bacolod City is one of the most populated cities in the country with 561,875 
residents as per the 2015 national census, which makes this bustling metropolis the 
most populated city in Western Visayas and second in the whole of Visayas. 
Currently, the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital or CLMMRH is 
the only tertiary government hospital that caters to the whole of Negros Occidental. 
With only a 400-bed capacity that serves a daily average of 724 patients from the 
whole province, the CLMMRH clearly needs to decongest its load to attend to the 
needs of its growing number of patients. Thus, this measure will address the 
overcrowding in the said health facility and will provide the people of Bacolod City a 
better quality of health care services.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The knowledge in first aid is an important life skill that effectively reduces 
fatalities and enables the faster treatment of injuries. Everyone must have a 
knowledge of such because most people will eventually find themselves in a situation 
which would need first aid skills for themselves or for other people. Simply, its benefits 
extend beyond one's self.
According to Red Cross, almost 16,000 people die from preventable injuries 
everyday around the world. Due to this, school children must be taught first aid 
primarily because its objectives according to some experts are to preserve life, prevent 
illness or injury becoming worse, relieve pain, if possible, promote recovery and 
protect the unconscious.
This bill seeks to mandate the Department of Education (DepEd) to incorporate 
basic first aid in the Physical Education (P.E.) subject in elementary and secondary 
school curriculum in both public and private schools in the country.
In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is earnestiy requested.

CEBU INTO A NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article Xf Section 13 of the 1987 Constitution 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." Good 
infrastructure such as roads are important factor in the development of a municipality 
or a city. A good road is a fundamental need for a place to prosper.
The municipalities of Sogod and Borbon are under the jurisdiction of the 5th 
district of Cebu while the municipality of Tabogon and the City of Bogo are under the 
jurisdiction of the 4th district of Cebu. These two municipalities are potential economic 
sites and tourist destinations. To improve and appropriate maintenance of the said 
road and help in boosting tourism and economic development, the said provincial 
roads is sought to be converted into a national road.
Hence, this bill seeks for the conversion of the provincial roads from Barangay 
Damolog, Sogod connecting to provincial roads of Borbon and Tabogon to Barangay 
Dakit, Bogo City, Cebu into national roads. This will undoubtedly contribute to the 
economic growth in the 4th and 5th Districts of the Province of Cebu.
In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
