House Bill No. _ 1728

Introduced by HON. ROZZANO RUFINO B. BIAZON

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Sangguniang Barangays are the front-liners in the delivery of government services to
the people. As such, they have the primary responsibility of addressing the needs of their
constituents, often requiring them to communicate with other agencies in the national and
local government.

However, the limited budgets of Sangguniang Barangays also limit their capability to
send communications essential to the performance of their duties. To address this
predicament, this bill proposes to grant Sangguniang Barangays limited franking privileges
for communications sent to other government agencies.

In order to further enhance the autonomy of the most basic local government unit, the

passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to convert the road network connecting Barangay
Handong in the Municipality of Libmanan to the Boundary of Barangay
Bridge 1, also within the Municipality of Lipmanan into a National Road.

Such road network herein proposed to be converted into a National
Road is strategically connected to the economic centers within the Province
of Camarines Sur and the Bicol Region and is vital to accelerate
development and increase economic activity within the Second District
primarily, and the entire Camarines Sur and the Bicol Region as a whole.

The conversion of the said road network will facilitate faster and
efficient transportation of basic goods and the delivery of necessary
services. It is projected that such road conversion shall promote livelihood
opportunities, encourage competitive flow of investment, and ultimately
enhance the economic and social living conditions not just of the people
living along such roads, but in the arterial secondary and tertiary roads that
lead to it

The administrative requirements for the conversion of local roads to
national roads as prescribed by Statutes and by the Department of Public
Works and Highways have been substantially met, and the approval of this
bill is earnestly sought.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is of highest national interest to keep a country’s military air force, in this case, the
Philippine Air Force to be at par with not just any like military organization in the world but
more so with its private counterpart, the ever vibrant and thriving airline industry which has
become home to seasoned and veteran pilots who trained from their respective Air Forces.

It is in light of these developments that this bill has been contemplated fearing the possible
exodus of our very own PAF-trained, seasoned and veteran military pilots in favor of better
and higher paying jobs in airline industries here or abroad.

The Philippines cannot afford its officer-pilots from PAF to be pirated by private or
‘commercial airlines since government has spent considerably for their training that it will be
a constant cycle of financial losses if the pattern continues. Besides, with the new although
seasonal acquisition of more aircrafts for PAF must also come the retention of highly
qualified officer-pilots to be trained as well as to train other pilots in the military service.

Introduced by: Representative JOHNNY T. PIMENTEL

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is the policy of the Philippines to ensure and protect the right of the people to
a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of
nature. This is enshrined by no less that the Constitution itself.

The forests have long provided for the basic needs of our people. It has been the
source of food, livelihood and shelter for many generations that have come before
us. Furthermore, the forests serve as the shelter to our highly diverse wildlife
and help minimize erosion preventing floods.

However, significant proportions of our forests have succumb to the pervasive
heavy loggings to the detriment of floras and faunas that are thriving in these
areas. This instance holds true in the rain forests of Surigao del Sur. With the
lack of protection to the trees, the future generations of our communities may
not enjoy the benefits that our forests have endowed to us.

This Bill seeks to uphold our moral duty to the intergenerational rights accorded
to our children by providing the protection and rehabilitation to the timberlands
of the City of Bislig, Province of Surigao del Sur.


The approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.

‘A considerable percentage of the population of North Cotabato comprises
various indigenous peoples. Specifically, the towns of Arakan, Magpet, upper
President Roxas, Tuluna, Matalam, Antipas, Makilala, and the City of Kidapawan, all
in the Second District of North Cotabato, are homes to various tribes and cultural
minorities such as the Manobos and the fellow Bagobos of the undersigned.

Regretfully, many of these minorities are unable to gain access to sufficient
training and education and are therefore unable to competitively seek means of
employment and/or other forms of livelihood.

The legal mandate of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples of the
Philippines (NCIP) is the protection and promotion of the interest and well-being of
the Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs) and Indigenous Peoples (IPs) with due
regard to their beliefs, customs, and institutions.

On the other hand, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) is the goverment agency tasked to manage and supervise technical
education and skills development in the country.

This bill seeks to pull together the resources and respective expertise of NCIP
and the TESDA as well as the concerned local government units in the province of
North Cotabato and ultimately come up with an avenue for education for the
indigenous peoples of the province, specifically a training center where they can
hone their technical knowledge and skills which shall be their implements and tools

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Province of Cagayan is geographically divided by the Cagayan River, the longest
river in the Philippines. Among its twenty eight (28) municipalities and one (1) city, fourteen
(14) municipalities lie along the western side of the Cagayan River and fifteen (15) on the
eastern side. These municipalities are connected by two bridges traversing across the Cagayan
River namely: the Buntun Bridge located in Tuguegarao City and the Magapit Bridge located in
Lalo, Cagayan.

The Buntun Bridge was built in the 1960s. This 1.098 km-long bridge links the eastern
municipalities of Cagayan to the western municipalities particularly the 2nd and 3rd District as
well as the provinces of Kalinga and Apayao of the Cordillera Administrative Region. More
importantly, Buntun Bridge provides access to the regional center where all governmental
offices, institutions, hospitals and schools are located. It is also the main thoroughfare for the
transport of goods and services to and from the province and the region as well.

The condition of the Buntun Bridge at present requires repairs and maintenance
Considering the lifespan for the usage of bridges, Buntun Bridge is about to reach its maximum
usage considering that it was constructed in the 1960s and became operational in 1969
Furthermore, if the said bridge is damaged, the western towns of the province particularly those
belonging to the 3 District of Cagayan will be isolated

In the light of the foregoing, there is a need to construct another bridge traversing across
the Cagayan River connecting the western side of Cagayan to the rest of the province. Hence,
this bill

The immediate passage therefore of this bill is earnestly sought.
