EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The existing 21 kilometer Mabini-Pintor-Union, Municipality of Gamu 
to Mangcuram, Lullutan, City of Ilagan provincial road is a vital network 
which links the Municipality of Gamu to the City of Ilagan, Isabela. The road 
is of great importance in the economic, commercial and civic expansion of 
the fast growing of Gamu, Isabela as it provides the shortest seamless 
connection the the City of Ilagan, Isabela. As it is now, the provincial road 
services to connect two national highways, the Ilagan-Delfin Albano-Mallig 
Road and Gamu to Roxas Road, shortening travel time from the towns of 
Burgos and Gamu to Ilagan City. It stretches parallel to the Santiago-
Tuguegarao Road. 
The vital importance of this provincial road is highlighted by the 
growing needs of the communities connected by this stretch. The conversion 
to national road will enhance the exchange of agricultural and industrial 
goods and commercial services between the Municipalities of Burgos and 
Gamu to the urban centers of Ilagan, Isabela. It is converted to a national 
road. It will be well-maintained and regularly paved affording the motorist 
fast and efficient thoroughfare. 
Just as important, its conversion to a national road will improve 
access to government and commercial services as a well-maintained road 
network will bring hospital, churches, markets, academic institutions and 
commercial establishments even closer to the people.

The Provincial Government of Isabela has limited resources to 
maintain and conduct repairs on the said provincial road on a regular basis. 
Its conversion to a national road will also translate to huge savings on the 
part of the provincial government of Isabela which can now allocate to 
poverty alleviation projects and other government initiatives with significant 
socio-economic impact. 
Hence, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly requested.
