EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to establish a District Engineering Office in the Municipality of San Rafiel,
in the Third District of Bulacan.
The Municipality of San Rafael, being one of the largest municipalities in the Province of
Bulacan is strategically located.  The third district is composed of the municipalities of Sam Rafael,
Dona Remedios Trinidad, Sam Miguel, and Sam Ildefouso. And these four (4) municipalities cover
large  areas  of fan  lands,  mountain  ranges,  hills  and  valleys.  While  a  large  area  remains
agricultural  in  industry,  many  urban  areas  have  been transfomed  as  commercial  areas  that
facilitate trade and commerce, and play host to government and private educational iustitutious. A
number of areas can also be potential economic zones.
Presently, the thud district is served by the second district engineering office based in Sta.
Maria, Bulacan. With such a big area to serve, the Second District Engineering Office could hardly
cover  sufficiently  its  target  service  coverage  more  so  accommodate  the  third  district.  The
Municipality of Dona Remedios Trinided alone would need a separate district engineering office
it needed vital infrastructure projects that have to be implemented. San Miguel, San Ildefouso and
San Rafael are likewise to be attended if it is to further maximize its growlh and development
potential.
Thus, if a Third District Engineering Office is established in one of the towns preferably
in the Municipality of San Rafael, efficiency and maximum productivity will be enhanced. The
four (4) towns of the thnd district will then not be left out of the effective service delivery given
its size.
In view of the foregoing premises, approval of this measure is earnestly soucht.
