HOUSE BILL No.8886
Introduced by REP. RuWEL PETER S. GONZAGA
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The bill seeks to convert a 23.442 kilometers provincial road stretch which starts at
Barangay Sawangan Municipality of Mawab traversing Barangays New Asturias, Magangit,
Lapu-Lapu, Anibongan,  Dumlan, and  Hijo, all in Municipality of Maco Section  Road in the
Pi-ovince of Davao de Ore as flatioflal t.oad.
By converting the provincial road traversing the barangays into a national road, the
national government through the Department of Public Works and  Highways will  be the
one  who  will  take  care  of the  maintenance  and  repair  of the  said  road.  With  available
resources, the proper afld sufficient maintenance of the road becomes less burdeflsome
to the local government concerned  resulting  in the timely and appropriate preservation
of the  road's good  condition. The  safety and  stability of this  road  infrastructure will  be
enhanced  further  by  the  new  management  whose  expertise  and  knowledge  will  truly
improve this public asset.
Indeed,  roads  are  a  major  factor  in  the  growth  and  progress  of  an  area.  With
sufficiently maintained roads come greater accessibility and more economic activity. Thus,
by improving such road more and better opportunities are made available to the people
thereby reducing poverty ifl the locality.
Hence, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
