Introduced by Representative SOLOMON R. CHUNGALAO

AN ACT CONVERTING THE ROAD WHICH STARTS AT POSNAAN,
MUNICIPALITY OF AGUINALDO, PROVINCE OF IFUGAO,
TRAVERSES THE MUNICIPALITY OF ALFONSO LISTA IN THE
PROVINCE OF IFUGAO, AND ENDS AT THE BOUNDARY OF THE
MUNICIPALITY OF AURORA IN THE PROVINCE OF ISABELA INTO A
NATIONAL ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREOF

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The municipalities of Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista in the province of
Ifugao located at the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) are primarily
corn producing areas. In fact, the volume of corn produced in these two (2)
municipalities are first class corns delivered and sold to corn traders in the
province of Isabela in Region 2. The combined corn production of the
municipalities of Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista would easily account to more
or less thirty (30) percent of the reported corn production of the province
of Isabela.

It is a sad fact that during the rainy season, the corn farmers of the
municipalities of Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista, Ifugao find it very hard or
almost impossible to transport their harvests and produces to the province
of Isabela in long periods of time until the roads are dry and passable
resulting to so much waste of corn products as their harvests and produces
would be molding and often rotting when the road becomes passable.

The road network herein proposed to be converted into a national
road is strategically located in the areas mainly dedicated to corn


production and very vital to accelerate development and increase
agricultural and economic activities essential to support agriculture.

The conversion of the said road will facilitate faster and more efficient
transportation of essential agricultural goods, and the delivery of necessary
agricultural services. It is projected that such road conversion shall promote
livelihood opportunities, encourage competitive flow of investment, and
shall ultimately enhance the economic and social living conditions, not just
of the people farming and living along the roads, but also those in the
arterial roads that are connected to it.

The proposed conversion arises out of extreme necessity and
urgency.

In view of the foregoing premises, immediate enactment of this bill
is earnestly sought.
