EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill was originally filed as House Bill No. 3365 in the 18th Congress on 
August 1, 2019. 
The municipalitiy of Tinoc in the province of Ifugao located at the Cordillera 
Administrative Region (CAR) is primarily a vegetable producing area. In fact, the 
volume of vegetables produced in this municipality are first class vegetables 
delivered and sold to vegetable traders in the province of Nueva Vizcaya in Region 
2. The vegetable production of the municipality of Tinoc would easily suffice the
demands of many consumers in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. 
It is a sad fact that during the rainy season, the vegetable farmers of the 
municipality of Tinoc, Ifugao find it very hard or almost impossible to transport 
their harvests and produces to the province of Nueva Vizcaya in long periods of 
time until the roads are dry and passable resulting to so much waste of vegetables 
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 vegetable 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.
