Introduced by Senator Manuel "Lito" M. Lapid
AN ACT
ESTABLISHING A SERVICE ROAD LINKING THE EASTERN AND WESTERN 
SIDES OF THE NORTH LUZON EXPRESSWAY (NLEX) IN THE PROVINCE OF 
PAMPANGA, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
There are several studies on the possible relationship between transportation 
problems and economic growth and development. On one side, researchers say that 
the existence of transportation problems is an indication of a growing economy. On 
the other side, researchers say that it shows incompetence on the part of the 
government which results to economic losses, which both include explicit and implicit 
costs. No matter what relationship the two may have, it is undeniable that there is a 
need to fix these transportation problems.
The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is one of the significant projects which 
brought about not only convenience on the part mostly of the commuting public but 
also allowed the continuance and even better and more effective economic relations 
between Central and Northern Luzon with Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. 
However, the use of NLEX has become costly and impractical to many people, 
especially farmers and the commuting public in the Province of Pampanga, especialiy 
when it involves only short distance or inter-barangay travel.


This bill seeks to construct a service road along NLEX, within the Province of 
Pampanga to cut travel time, reduce cost, enhance rural productivity and link far flung 
barangays to their city and town centers. This bill also aims to address the traffic 
congestion through provision of an alternative route as well as to contribute to the 
further growth and development of the towns of San Simon, Sto. Tomas, Mexico, and 
the Cities of Mabalacat, San Fernando and Angeles in Pampanga, and other adjoining 
provinces.'
In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
