House Bill No. 9236
EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish a fish port in Barangay Bayabas in the 1™ District of Cagayan de
Oro City.

There is a need for this proposed fish port because majority of the residents of the barangay
are small-time fisher folks who mainly rely on fish and marine resources for their livelihood
and daily subsistence. It will provide an avenue for trade and give these fisherfolk access to
consumers and vice versa. It will also be a place for the fishermen to refuel, resupply, and dry-
dock their small fishing vessels.

Once established, the fish port facilities will surely uplift the livelihood of fishermen and fish
workers in the barangay and will be a big step in modernizing the fisheries sector which will
lead to sustainable fishing and conservation of fishing grounds.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this measre is earnestly requested.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
On April 12, 2018, all 193 member states of the United Nations General 
Assembly adopted the resolution declaring June 3 as the World Bicycle Day. 
There is a need to highlight the importance of non-motorized transportations 
as a means of fostering sustainable development and promoting environmental 
health that is conducive to the physical health and well-being of all Filipinos. People 
from all economic backgrounds should have access to safe, healthy, and affordable 
transportation options in the communities where they live, work, learn, and play. 
As more Filipinos use bicycles to commute to and from places of work and 
leisure, it is important for all stakeholders to be aware of the rules and regulations 
that govern how roads must be shared by cyclists and motorists alike. Although we 
are seeing more bike lanes sprout in the cities, more work needs to be done to 
increase awareness around them and around the bicycling public towards the 
achievement of overall road safety. 
Promoting bicycle use also addresses issues on pollution and traffic 
congestion. Once passed, it is the author¶s firm belief that this declaration will 
encourage both the government and private sectors to push for even greater support 
towards sustainable, environment-friendly, and safe modes of transportation.

the entire city as well. It will also provide additional employment and income opportunities and
address the demand for fish and other seafood.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay 23 in Cagayan de
Oro City. This e-library shall be for the cluster of Barangays 21 to 25.

Republic Act 7743 provides for the establishment of “additional public libraries to serve all
congressional districts cities and municipalities in the Philippines and reading centers in every
barangay except in cities or municipalities where there are existing public libraries or in
barangays where there are existing reading centers.

Further, the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates that municipalities, cities and
provinces maintain a public library as part of their basic services and facilities.

Unfortunately, there is no full-implementation of the above provisions of law as there are still
many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays with no access to public libraries or
reading centers.

While it would undoubtedly be very costly to put up a public library, especially for a barangay,
an alternative would be to put up an e-library with at least 3 sets of computers with access to
the internet in the barangay halls. This e-library can be used by the public to do research, get
access to e-books and gather valuable knowledge and information.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is eamestly requested.

This Bill seeks to convert the San Jose Del Monte – Marilao Road, presently classified as 
a provincial road into a national road. 
The San Jose Del Monte – Marilao Road in the City of San Jose Del Monte is a 2.0 
kilometer stretch of roadway starting from the crossing area of Barangay Muzon to Barangay 
Loma De Gato of Marilao, Bulacan. The volume of traffic in this roadway is heavy as it is often 
plied by commuters and transport vehicles carrying goods and services to and from the City via 
the adjoining town of Marilao to the North Luzon Expressway. The road also serves as a major 
transport artery for heavy trucks loaded with bulk of cement products transported from the cement 
plants in nearby town of Norzagaray. 
The existing roadway is in a state of disrepair because the provincial government cannot 
provide the necessary maintenance funds. 
It is in the light that the early approval of this Bill is earnestly sought.

Introduced by Hon. Juliet Marie de Leon Ferrer 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This bill seeks to convert Bago-Mambucal Road (S00166NR) – Barangay 
Caridad – Barangay Sagasa – Barangay Ayungon – Barangay Sibucao- Jct 
Bagonawa – La Castellana Road (S00175NR) Diversion Road into a National 
Road.  
The above-mentioned roads are utilized as main thoroughfares of the 
people of Bago City, La Carlota City, and municipalities of San Enrique and 
La Castellana. Given the increasing number of vehicles passing through these 
roads, the said roads would require periodic maintenance which can only be 
financially sustained by the National Government. The conversion of the roads 
to a National Road is vital in promoting safety and in easing the mobility of 
people, goods and services. It will greatly help the farmers reduce the time 
and cost of transporting their agricultural products from their farms to the 
different markets and trading centers in the Negros Occidental. The 
consumers will also benefit, as low transportation cost will reduce the prices 
of goods and commodities in the market. 
In addition, the road conversion will help other agencies of the National 
Government to implement programs that will create business opportunities, 
promote health, and ensure peace and order. Hence, the conversion would 
have a significant impact not only to the areas mentioned above but also to 
the growth and development of the whole province. 
In the light of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

MUNICIPALITY OF MILAOR, CAMARINES SUR AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS 
THEREFOR 
This bill seeks to establish an e-library in the Barangay Hall of Barangay Balagbag in 
Municipality of Milaor, Camarines Sur. 
Many provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays still have no access to public 
libraries or reading centers despite the enactment of Republic Act 7743. The law 
provides for the establishment of “additional public libraries to serve all congressional 
districts cities and municipalities in the Philippines and reading centers in every 
barangay”.  
Libraries are important cornerstones of a healthy community. They give people 
access to a wealth of information, opportunities to learn, explore and research. 
However, libraries with actual books are expensive to build and maintain. 
Technologies can help us with an alternative that need not be as expensive. Setting 
up computers in the barangay to access e-books and other information is an example. 
Moreover, an electronic library has, not only text data but also sound, graphics, and 
motion video, in the form of digital data. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.

The Salin Elementary School was established in 1994 and had its 
permanent location when Talban P. Bitayan of the Kankana-ey tribe donated 
twenty thousand one hundred thirty square meters (20,000,130 sq. m.) of his 
land at sitio Salin, Sadsadan, Bauko, Mountain Province to be used solely 
for the education of his fellow Indigenous Peoples. 
In recognition of Mr. Bitayan’s generosity, altruism and his priceless 
contribution to the basic education of the people of Bauko, Mountain 
Province in particular and to the provinces of Benguet and Mountain 
Province in general, it is but proper to change the name of Salin Elementary 
School to Talban P. Bitayan Elementary School (Formerly Salin Elementary 
School).  In addition, the renaming of the school will give it a sense of history 
and significance. 
In view of the foregoing, approval of the bill is earnestly sought.

House Bill No.
EXPLANATORY NOTE

Cagayan de Oro is a highly urbanized city in Misamis Oriental in Region 10. It is widely
regarded as center of industry, trade and commerce in the region. It is also considered an
education hub in the region. Due to this, the population in Cagayan de Oro has been
increasing.

Unfortunately, there are not enough schools to cater to the increasing demand.
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides:

SECTION 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and
technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and
nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human
liberation and development.

Article XIV Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution provides:
SECTION 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate
steps to make such education accessible to all.

It is very clear that it is the duty of the State to ensure that its citizens have access to quality
education and the first step is to provide them with schools.

At present, there is no school in Sitio Macapaya in Barangay Camaman-an in Cagayan de
Oro City. The students in said sitio have to travel to neighboring schools in order to be able
to go to school.

This bill proposes to establish a National High School in Sitio Macapaya in Barangay
Camaman-an in order to address the increasing demand for a school in the area to handle the
increasing number of students.

In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly requested.
